Cockpit Trim for Camper Vans

Craftsmanship Meets Driving Experience: Your cockpit, refined to the highest standards of craftsmanship.
Your camper doesn’t start behind the driver’s seat—it starts right in front of it. A high-quality interior deserves a cockpit that feels just as exclusive as the living space behind it. That’s why at VANME, we design the entire driver’s area according to your specifications: a reupholstered steering wheel, handcrafted leather seats, dashboard, door panels, carbon fiber accents, and custom embroidery.

For our cockpit upgrades, we collaborate with PS Sattlerei, one of Germany’s most renowned automotive upholstery shops. This results in interiors of artisan-level quality—whether in a Sprinter, VW Crafter, MAN TGE, or Fiat Ducato. Each cockpit trim is handcrafted using materials from the high-end automotive industry.

Seats & Ergonomics

Whether it’s a weekend trip or a trip around the world—on long drives, seating comfort determines how relaxed you’ll be when you arrive. That’s why a cockpit upgrade isn’t just about looks: In collaboration with PS Sattlerei, we can also improve the ergonomics and upholstery of your seats upon request. We reupholster the driver’s and front passenger seats with leather or Alcantara, design the stitching patterns and seat center panels according to your specifications, and color-match the headrests to the overall look. Embroidered logos, material combinations within a single seat, or firmer padding for greater long-distance comfort are also possible—so your Ford Transit or VW T6 drives as comfortably as it looks.

Custom Material Collections

The cockpit is the area of your campervan that you use the most on every trip. That’s why, when it comes to cockpit upgrades, we rely on materials that not only look great but still feel high-quality even after years of use. Together, we’ll develop a color and material concept that matches your vehicle and your style: the finest nappa leather in a wide range of colors, Alcantara with a sporty, grippy texture, or perforated leather for the steering wheel and seats. We also offer real carbon or forged carbon, matte and high-gloss finishes, as well as contrast stitching in the color of your choice. The result is an interior design that color-coordinates with the interior fit-out—whether in a Sprinter, Fiat Ducato, or VW T7.

Steering Wheel & Controls

The steering wheel is the most direct link between you and your vehicle—even small changes here make for a noticeably higher-quality driving experience. As part of the cockpit upgrade, we redesign your steering wheel for optimal ergonomics: with a flat-bottom design, a thickened rim, and grip recesses, covered in leather or Alcantara. Carbon fiber accents, a colored 12 o’clock marker, and contrast stitching add personalized touches. Upon request, we can also customize the shift knob and controls so that all touchpoints align with the overall design concept. All original functions—such as the airbag, heated steering wheel, and multifunction buttons—remain fully intact, whether you drive an Iveco Daily, Ford Tourneo, or VW T5.

Design Down to the Smallest Detail

It’s the small details that turn a high-quality vehicle into a truly one-of-a-kind piece. When customizing the cockpit, we precisely coordinate colors, stitching, and surfaces: contrast stitching in the color of your choice, diamond, honeycomb, or diamond-patterned quilting, embossed leather surfaces, and embroidery featuring your name or the vehicle’s logo. Trim elements in carbon fiber, aluminum, or wood add subtle accents, while the door panels are crafted in the same design as the seats. We also design the dashboard and center console to match the interior—creating a cohesive color and material concept from the driver’s seat all the way to the living area, which consistently carries forward VANME’s artisanal philosophy. Whether in the MAN TGE or Ford Custom: Your camper bears your personal touch.

What Customers Say About Us

Why Dashboard Upgrades Make a Difference in Everyday Camping Life

The driver’s compartment is the area you spend the most time in on every trip. While the kitchen, bed, and bathroom are only used once you reach your destination, the cockpit is with you from the first kilometer to the last. That’s exactly why a high-quality cockpit finish has a greater impact on your daily driving experience than many other features.

An ergonomically shaped steering wheel, comfortable seats, and high-quality materials don’t just enhance comfort—they make your camper feel like a premium vehicle. At the same time, the driver’s cab and living area blend seamlessly into a harmonious whole: colors, materials, and details all complement each other. A standard van is transformed into a vehicle with its own character, tailored precisely to your taste.

Cockpit Upgrades for Camper Vans: What to Look for When Choosing

The possibilities for cockpit customization are virtually limitless. That’s why every project begins with the question of what kind of look you want your camper to have: a sporty look with carbon fiber and contrasting stitching—or a cozy atmosphere with warm leather tones and subtle details? The choice of materials is just as important. Alcantara impresses with its pleasant feel and secure grip on the steering wheel, while nappa leather conveys luxury and is particularly durable. Carbon adds sporty accents and is available in glossy, matte, or forged carbon finishes.

It’s crucial that all materials complement the interior design. Only this coordination transforms individual finishing touches into a cohesive whole that noticeably enhances your camper.

The Perfect Steering Wheel for Every Trip

Hardly any other component has as much influence on the driving experience as the steering wheel—no wonder it’s one of the most popular elements of a cockpit upgrade. We ergonomically reshape your original steering wheel, integrate grip recesses, and upholster it in nappa leather, perforated leather, or Alcantara. Contrast stitching in the color of your choice, colored markings, and carbon fiber accents round out the design. We always work with the stock steering wheel as our base: the airbag, heated steering wheel, and multifunction buttons remain fully intact, ensuring your vehicle retains all the features you value in everyday driving. The result feels noticeably better in your hands—whether on the short drive to the bakery or on the Pan-American Highway.

Seats Tailored to Your Preferences

Anyone who drives hundreds of kilometers at a stretch quickly realizes what makes for good seats. As part of a cockpit upgrade, we therefore completely redesign the driver’s and front passenger’s seats—from the choice of materials to the upholstery. Leather or Alcantara, custom stitching, and embroidered logos transform stock seats into truly one-of-a-kind pieces that blend seamlessly into your interior design. At the same time, we’ll optimize the cushioning and lateral support upon request: A firmer seat cushion relieves pressure on your back during long stretches of driving, while improved lateral support provides confidence on winding roads. This way, aesthetics and ergonomics go hand in hand—and you’ll step out of your camper feeling relaxed even after a full day of travel.

Carbon, leather, and Alcantara

The material that defines your cockpit sets the tone for the character of your entire camper. Nappa leather exudes elegance and, with proper care, ages gracefully rather than wearing out. Alcantara offers an often-underestimated advantage: It doesn’t feel cold in winter or hot in summer—a real plus when traveling through varying climate zones. Carbon, on the other hand, adds a technical touch and is available in various textures, from classic woven patterns to the marbled look of Forged Carbon, in either a matte or glossy finish. By combining different materials in the cockpit finish, you can create custom designs that perfectly match your interior and highlight the high-quality character of your campervan.

The Cockpit as Part of the Overall Concept

At VANME, we never view the cockpit as a standalone component, but rather as a transition between the vehicle and the living space. That’s why the material and color concept for the cockpit finish isn’t developed later on, but rather during the interior design planning phase. Wood types and furniture finishes from the living area, fabrics, leather colors, and decorative stitching in the cab—we coordinate all of these elements from the very beginning. Here’s an example: If the decorative stitching on the steering wheel echoes the color of the kitchen cabinet fronts, this detail connects both areas without seeming intrusive. The result is a camper where the driver’s cab and living area don’t feel like two separate worlds, but rather like a well-thought-out whole.

PS Sattlerei Artisanal Craftsmanship at the Highest Level

PS Sattlerei is one of the most renowned destinations for exclusive vehicle interiors in Germany. With decades of experience and precision craftsmanship, the company creates interiors that go far beyond traditional upholstery work: reupholstered steering wheels, ergonomically optimized seats, door panels, and complete cockpits—each project meticulously handcrafted. Only premium materials are used, such as the finest nappa leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber, enhanced with precise decorative stitching and custom design solutions.

For you as a VANME customer, this partnership means maximum creative freedom when it comes to cockpit customization. Together, we develop concepts tailored precisely to your campervan: materials, colors, and design elements blend the driver’s cab and living area into a harmonious whole. The result is a distinctive interior offering a high level of comfort and a quality of craftsmanship that lives up to the standards of a true, handcrafted cockpit finish in every detail.

Here’s How We Plan Your Project

Every cockpit customization project begins right here on our website: Through the vehicle selection process and your contact request, we gather all the important information about your camper and your vision. We then work with you to discuss materials, colors, designs, and the scope of the work. If you’d like, we can develop a complete interior concept that harmonizes with your future living space renovation.

Once the design is finalized, we professionally remove all components and send them to PS Sattlerei, where they are meticulously finished by hand. This is followed by assembly at VANME—including functional testing of all safety-critical components, such as airbags and steering wheel electronics. The result is a cockpit upgrade that not only impresses on the day of delivery but continues to feel high-quality even years later.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cockpit Customization

Can I just have my steering wheel customized?

Yes. In addition to a complete cockpit upgrade, we also offer individual components—such as the steering wheel, seats, or door panels.

Will the airbag and multifunction buttons remain?

Yes. All safety-related functions are fully preserved and work just as they do in the original.

What materials are available?

Among other materials, we use the finest nappa leather, Alcantara, perforated leather, and various carbon fiber finishes in matte or glossy.

Can the color of the cockpit be matched to my living room?

Yes, that’s exactly where one of our strengths lies: we coordinate colors, materials, and stitching to match the entire interior design.

How long does a cockpit upgrade take?

That depends on the scope of the project. A steering wheel can be customized much more quickly than a completely redesigned cockpit. We’ll provide you with a specific timeline after we’ve planned the project together.

Is that also possible with a camper that's already been converted?

Yes. Even existing campervans can be retrofitted—regardless of whether the interior was installed by VANME or not.
