The NEC, and our 2023 plans

We thank those of you who came and saw us at the NEC in October and really appreciate your orders taking us through until Autumn 2023, despite Ford closing their order books and continued delays with the supply of new vans & components.

One of the highlights for us at the NEC is to catch up and meet our customers old & new, but with limited van availability due to the model change and so much detail yet to learn about new Transit, we took the decision last year, not to exhibit at the NEC in February 2023.

We do have a handful of current model vans unallocated for Autumn build, which offer great value in comparison to predicted new 2023 model, with either a MRV, Leisure Van or Day van conversions available, in addition we may be able to offer our Eco-line conversion on customer owned vehicles or base vans competitively supplied by Roy Wood Transits later in the year.

Ford estimate the new Transit Custom low roof model could be available in September 2023, However, Ford advise our popular Hi-line models won’t be available until spring 2024.

We have already started working with the Ford Pro’s homologation team to support Auto Campers with the onerous testing & certification process to gain small series type approval, this combined with conversion R&D will lead to further delays for our New 2023 Auto Camper, but once we have our type approval this automatically promotes Auto Campers as one of the few professional Campers that are certified for quality and safety.

We would also like to remind you, we welcome the opportunity to service and repair your Auto Camper, Firth Campers in Sheffied offer conversion servicing & upgrades, Roy Wood Transits offer conversion & Ford servicing.

Roy Wood Transits would also like to hear from any current Auto Camper owners who are thinking of selling their Auto Camper, or owners who may consider part exchanging in 2024.

We look forward to seeing or hearing from you soon.
