Van Junkies has grown into one of Gosport’s most dynamic specialist conversion businesses, supplying off‑grid electrical systems, power solutions and high‑quality components to customers across the UK. Since launching in 2020, the company has fulfilled more than 40,000 orders and built a reputation for technical precision, reliability and customer support. Operating from Royal Clarence Marina, the team now delivers everything from full electrical installations to bespoke systems for camper vans, catering vehicles, expedition trucks and commercial builds.

The business was born from a single lockdown project that revealed a gap in the market. When founders Nick and Leanda Millerchip converted their own van during Covid, they discovered that high‑quality components, specialist knowledge and reliable suppliers were hard to find. Nick’s background in engineering and IT enabled him to design robust electrical systems and build an online shop that quickly attracted demand. What began as a small side project soon accelerated into a full‑time operation, driven by word‑of‑mouth, repeat customers and a growing need for dependable off‑grid solutions.

Today, Van Junkies employs a six‑person team and is preparing to expand into its fourth premises, reflecting the rapid growth of the UK camper and mobile‑workspace market. The company’s product range now supports thousands of customers, from families seeking independence on the road to businesses operating specialist vehicles. With a strong focus on quality, innovation and community investment, Van Junkies has become a trusted name in the sector and a proud contributor to Gosport’s growing business landscape.
