In this episode of the One For The Road Advanture Road Trip Podcast, I sit down with Leigh, founder of Combe Valley Campers — one of the UK’s most trusted names in campervan conversions and vanlife education. From his workshop and showroom in East Sussex, Leigh has built a YouTube channel with nearly 100,000 subscribers, helping thousands of people build, repair and convert their own campervans.

We dive into his passion for travel and classic VW vans, the early days of Combe Valley Campers, and his family adventures across Europe in “Bulli” the T25. Leigh also shares the story behind Campers & Coffee, the inclusive UK meetup bringing together self-builders, travellers and vanlife enthusiasts from all over the country.

From DIY van build advice and community building to road trips through France, Spain, Poland and beyond, this conversation captures the heart of the British vanlife movement — connection, creativity and the freedom to explore.

🎙️ Hosted by Alex Brown, founding editor of Advanture Magazine.
 Recorded as part of the One For The Road Podcast Series — exploring the people shaping modern vanlife and outdoor culture across the UK and Europe.
