Hi Guys, I am planning a T6.1 conversion in a few months and I am heavily considering the Jerba pop top roof (mainly due to living in Scotland and midges being a major concern!). My only concern is that we would intend on using the bed section in the pop-top, which is apparently only rated for...

Hi all. Newbie here so sorry if this is all abit basic. My question is... Which Engine would you recommend for a camper conversion? 110, 150 manual or 150 DSG? My main concern is mpg. I am not going to be racing it around, so long as it keeps up well with traffic and can manage the extra...

Hi all! So it appears I now have three children, two in car seats, and the 213 CRV can hardly fit everyone in normally, let alone for camping etc. So I'm thinking of a VW. I'm drawn to the lwb options despite the slight faff of parking in the city for the extra boot space for holidays. Any...

Hopefully scraped enough to money to trade in the car and buy another Transporter. I (stupidly) took advantage of the crazy trade in price of my last T6 in March 2021 - sold to WBAV for £5k more than I’d paid for it 2.5 years earlier. But I’ve regretted it bitterly ever since and I just can’t...

Hello everyone, I've been bitten before when buying a T5 and to be honest I'm so nervous about purchasing vans after that experience, as it rooked me financially when I was in my early 20's. Would anyone be up for reviewing some footage that I've been sent by the dealer? and seeing if there is...

Hi everyone! We are total newbies, to the Forum but also to T6's (although if feels like going back to my roots - we had a T2 camper growing up, and my very first motor was a (devastatingly rusty red/white) 1972 T2). We are looking for a T6 to convert, and really like the notion of twin sliding...

I'm on the lookout for a 4-berth camper that can be used as a car during the day to and from work, only a few miles. VW T6's keep coming up and, although I keep getting told they're pricey and will only depreciate, I can't help but I think they seem ideal. Just wondering if anyone can advise on...
