Not a single build thread, but posts in various leisure electrics threads and the ‘WHYDTYVT’ thread. Mine was an upgrade to lifepo4 plus solar which also meant replacing the existing, but unsuitable, CBE kit and taking the opportunity to relocate things from the rear wardrobe. In short(ish), it...

For sale is our 2018 model T30 T6 Highline SWB VW Transporter in Acapulco Blue with DSG automatic gearbox and 150ps engine. It has covered just over 66k miles since new. It comes with a full VW service history and is covered on the VW “All-in” plan for servicing and warranty until August 2025...

Creating this thread to share photos on progress of the build and to share ideas. Been reading this thread and learning all I can as well as incorporating my experience of remote Overlanding around the African continent over the past 15 years. The build is leaning towards an offroad capable...

Some updated photos. Still a work in progress but delighted to nearly be at the finish line of having a functioning camper. I was very skeptical about the amount I spent on Dodo Mat products but the difference is really noticeable when driving. Will need to wait and see if it makes a difference...

Certainly rent one! What got us into all this was a rental that we did the NC500 with (Didn't want to put all those miles on our own van!) Rented a tailgate T6.1 and realised because of our haphazard packing abilities barn doors we're a better option for us, only half the gear falls out now when...

Has anyone fitted a solar panel to a Hilo roof? Wondering how you went about it, roof bars or bonded direct to roof etc...and which way you ran the cabling etc. When the roof is up on a Hilo there is quite a big gap to bridge from the back end of the roof and the tailgate so wondering how people...

I am selling my van. Ceramic coated (twice) since new. It was professionally converted, from new in 2017 by Coast to Coast campers. Extended Mechanical warranty by Listers to 2026. FDSH T32 204 Highline, DSG, Adaptive Radar Cruise Control, LED lights with High Beam assist, Power Latching side...

I started converting mine because of the spiralling costs of AirBnBs and because I lost £200 quid on a pre-booked AirBnB when Storm Eunice meant we couldn't go to North Norfolk for a planned couple of days bird-bothering. In that context, it made complete sense to spend thousands of £££ on...

Hi all, Been lurking on here for a while and frustratingly I just missed out on a few vans that would have fitted the bill - bit slow off the mark. Posting a wanted thread to see if there's anyone considering selling something along these lines. Must have: - DSG - Euro 6 - SWB - Highline -...

Just a rambling post really, not selling or buying,...thinking about possible next steps. Had my current 2019 Kombi since July 2020; been converted fully to camper. Amazing spec and not sure I'd get same again...Is still under full VW warranty, although the only claim has been the sliding door...

Thank you very much. Moving the fridge is not really an option as it sits on Ovano tray that slides out of the tailgate. I have been in touch with the converters who are sure the cable they installed would be sufficient and they wonder if the 12v socket is damaged. That could make sense as...

I've gone for the Anker 757 as the best solution in the short term as it's not going to need any technical skills and will do me for my upcoming trips off a mains charge - thanks for the advice Will pop the solar panels on next year when I've saved up a bit more Is it possible to route the...

I’m in exactly the same place Aidan. I’m thinking to either route the cables through the rear ‘open’ end of the pop top ie not into the interior via a deck gland, securing the cables via my pop top fabric bungee and then through the tailgate hinge bungs using short glands, or directly through...

I’ve run mine up the b pillar under the ceiling and out of the grommets that are used for tailgate hinge as I have barn doors- the connectors are held out of the way until I need them for my portable solar panel which I can throw on the roof

I've tested numerous DC-DC chargers. i wasnt overly impressed with the CTEK D250 range - if i remeber i called it "a good safe bet" i now used the Victron XS dc-dc in both vans, have a look over here for more stuff you will like. . ...

So has anyone run the solar cables through the tailgate rubber wire protector? To save cutting a hole in the roof of the van?

I’m selling my kombi sportline 2018 not a camper though! £32,500

I'm replacing a PV Logic 100w semi flexible on a Reimo roof, no ridges. The old one died after about 2 years and was bonded straight onto the roof (by the firm that fitted my Reimo popup). It too me several hours to remove it and clean the sikaflex off but that's another story. The new advice is...

Congrats and welcome to the ownership club :thumbsup: I have a Kombi and have a similar “seaside fish and chips in the rain at a weekend” use case as well as being my daily driver. I haven't installed a second battery and use an EcoFlow Delta Mini which will charge via ignition when engine...
