CamperPlan vs SolarSnap

CamperPlan is made by Crafted Camper Co, a Yorkshire workshop that converts vans for a living. It takes you from the first questions about how you will use your van to a build you can price, order and fit, one stage at a time. START WITH HOW YOU TRAVEL Answer a few questions about your van, who travels, how long you stay off grid, how you cook and wash. You can stop at any point and carry on where you left off. You can look around without an account; your plan stays on your phone until you make one. ELECTRICS WORKED OUT FOR YOU Your battery, solar, charging and inverter are sized from what you will run and for how long, with the power bar showing how your choices add up. YOUR BUILD, PRICED Once the plan is done, Build lays out every stage in the order a workshop builds: base and insulation, water, electrics, systems and appliances, furniture, seats and sleeps. Each part shows a price in pounds from UK shops, or our typical range where we have not priced it yet, why it costs what it does, and a value choice, a step up and the best. Tell it your budget and it shows what fits and what each saving gives up. Mark what you already have, what you have bought and what is not for you. BESPOKE FURNITURE Your furniture is designed with you at a design consultation, made in our workshop and priced after the consultation. Book one from Build. Until then the Budget gives you an approximate window to plan with. Making your own? Tap I'll make my own furniture. A DATED BUILD PLAN Set when you start and how often you build, and CamperPlan dates each stage, shows what to order before it and when, and keeps a shopping list. YOUR LAYOUT IN 3D Place the bed, kitchen, seating and storage in a 3D model of your Mercedes Sprinter or Volkswagen Crafter, sized in millimetres, and step inside to see it. HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT Craft Assist, our AI assistant, answers questions about your plan if you choose to turn it on. Message the workshop from inside the app. Save ideas to boards and share a board with the people you plan with. IF YOU USED CAMPERPLAN BEFORE Your plan from the first CamperPlan is kept and you can read it in the app. Planning in CamperPlan is free and there are no adverts. Part prices are UK retail including VAT from named UK shops, checked in October 2026; prices change, so check before you buy. Furniture and conversion work are priced by our workshop. Electrical and gas work should be checked by a qualified person before first use. Crafted Camper Co (Yorkshire) Ltd, Huddersfield.

SolarSnap is a mobile application that enables homeowners to quickly assess whether a proposed location is suitable for plug-in solar panels. The user takes a photograph from the intended installation point and the app uses the phone’s GPS position, compass bearing, and image analysis to evaluate shading, obstructions, and potential energy yield. The app is designed for the growing market of homeowners considering plug-in ‘balcony solar’ panels — a segment that requires no professional installation but where location suitability is critical to performance and return on investment.
