Who we are

Where we come from

The history of PitStop Camper began in 1985 with the birth of "Merlini Gas in Bombole" in Scandicci, Florence. The activity was classified as: methane gas and LPG, in cylinders and for tanks.

Later the business was transformed into "Merlino Gas and Caravan". Over the years, the increase in the demand for gas cylinders for domestic and camper use, as well as spare parts and accessories, has allowed the company to develop in the local economic fabric as "Camper World S.A.S", moving to via di Scandicci 310 / A, Florence.

Leonardo Niccoli, in 2017, seized the opportunity to take over the management of the business: thus was born "PitStop Camper di Leonardo Niccoli". With the launch of e-commerce in 2018 and the expansion into 5 languages in 2021, PitStop Camper has become a reference point for specialized spare parts for technical items for motorhomes and caravans throughout Europe.

In May 2026, a new important milestone: the transfer from the small store in Scandicci to the new 300-square-meter warehouse in Comeana, in the province of Prato. More storage space, more products available and even faster and more efficient service for our customers.

PitStop Camper - La nostra storia

Our Mission

To offer a point of reference in the area to users of recreational vehicles and end users of gas equipment, accompanying them in the purchase process first online and then in the store, through the resolution of problems related to the identification of needs, the search for information, the evaluation of technical alternatives, up to the after-sales.

Our business model integrates the online channel and the physical store — what is called "click and mortar" in marketing — to offer an informed shopping experience and mutual benefit between us and our customers.
