We’ve recently purchased our 6th van from Roywood Transits, and the service that we receive from Jason, Paul and the rest of the team is always great. We have all of our vans serviced at Roywood as they make it a seamless and hassle-free experience.Huge thanks from the RoofStyle team.

For anyone wishing to realise their van-life dream, there is no better place to start than Roy Wood Transit. From the very first visit to their premises, where Steve spent so much time with us talking through our requirements (and completely changing our minds about what we wanted in a van), to the day we collected our vehicle (with a thorough four-hour induction on how to use it), we cannot fault the professionalism and friendliness of this company. Our high-top Ford Transit Custom Leisure Van has brought a new dimension to our lives and is our new happy place. Thanks especially go to Steve and Karl – your customer service is second to none!

Just wanted to give a big thank you to Steve, Karl and Paul we picked up our MRV Camper just before Christmas and couldn’t be happier with it.
From our fist visit to auto campers we decided to buy from these guys due to the quality of the campers and the knowledge of Steve just had to decide on the camper we wanted and after a few visits we decided on the MRV pop top with the help of Steve.
Throughout the whole process there was no pressure just good sound advice.
We went for several extras all of which we are really please with and the camper looks great.
Cannot recommend Auto Campers enough .

Thanks again for all your help.

First class help and advice from Jason when reviewing a Ford Tourneo Custom WAV. I was impressed by the professionalism, knowledge and helpful communication provided by Jason at Roy Wood Transits when trying to purchase a wheelchair accessible vehicle.

We recently had an electrical fault with our camper due to the failure of a dashcam power cable fitted by a third party (NOT Roy Woods Transits). We need to be relayed back from South Devon to Reading on the second day of our holiday. We only needed to make one call to Jason at Roy Woods Transits and the repair was set in motion. We repacked the estate car and travelled back to Devon the next day knowing our campervan was in good hands. I can’t thank the team enough for all their assistance. Very much a 5 star service. Thanks Jon and Ali.
