build thread.

I've posted a few times before and read a huge amount of helpful stuff on here - thank you all! I thought it might be worth me setting up a thread for my build because I keep forgetting what I've posted or not. I'm converting a 2017 sub T6 - my first time and I'm trying to do much of the work...

Hi all, When we started our build we found some super useful pages relating to bits we were considering, so thought we'd contribute with our own pictures and lessons learned- in case anyone is thinking of doing their van a similar way. To aid anyone searching for their own build purposes, full...

Evening, I've been lurking for a while now gaining info and tips so thought id share my progress so far. I bought my 21 plate T6.1 3 weeks ago, I've had caddy for years which I loved but sadly as the family has grown so has the need for space, this is my daily work horse doubled up as a kids...

Thought I would share a few pics of my ex RAC van and the changes I’ve made so far.

Well in eager anticipation of delivery of my T6.1 (build week having been confirmed as this week!! I thought I'd start my 'build' thread here and show some pics when it comes and keep a track of what I intend to do to it! This thread kind of takes up where this one finishes:-...

Hi all, I have found the forum super useful in getting information together for my build and deciding what I want. I figured I could document what I end up doing in case anyone wishes to do similar. I decided to write the thread in retrospect so the first few posts are back to back. I've...

Hello to everyone, I have been watching the forum a lot over the last half a year to which i finally made an account a couple of months back. I've now paid for the membership as i believe the information on here alone is worth tenfold that. I just want to start by saying what an amazing team...

Thought I'd document my attempted self build of an ex AA van Purchase Price £14,000 Target total spend £24,000 Delivery day First up was to remove all the ply lining and the bulkhead Obscene amount of screws/clips/bolts Once all that was removed, it was time to tackle the wiring...

Hi all, Just got myself Ascot Grey 2023 T6.1 150bhp DSG Highline last week and absolutely love it! Had a mk4 150bhp highline Caddy previously and unfortunately it was getting too small with work requirements as I am self employed handy man here in Ireland. Took about 3 months to get her built...

We picked up our ex RAC van yesterday in Wales and bought it to Cornwall. The Auxiliary battery overheated and started to vent about 66 miles from home, I didn't have tools with me but managed to wiggle a fused link (green arrow) until a nut came loose and I was able to disconnect the thick...

Hey all, new member here but I've been lurking for a while, all the time searching for a T6 Caravelle to replace my Skoda Superb Estate which I've owned since 2019, and has been brilliant as a wagon taking me and my bikes to all corners of the UK. Today, I collected this! It's a 2018 Caravelle...

Hey folks, been lurking for a while gathering useful advice as we considered if a van was right for us and now we have one on the drive the time was right to join fully and do the VIP thing to (potentially) do some electrical tinkering. Thanks everyone who posts advice here, it's a massive help...

Hi All - first time post here, we’ve been hiding quietly in the background starting the build of our T6 Pure Grey van as we convert it into a camper. Firstly, we’re Dan and Lucy based in the North West and you can follow us on instagram one our profile CamperCassie as the build progresses ...

Just picked up my van on Saturday. Eventual plan is to fit windows all around, a pop top, some sort of bench/sliding bed and some storage cubes. I have never done anything like this, have a very basic set of tools, and mostly no clue what I’m doing! However, I plan to learn. And I’ll be taking...

Finally decided to adapt the work van into a dual purpose van ! Still used as a work van so had to try come up with something that could swap roles quickly and not too difficult. First off was the power unit, basically a box containing everything, battery, consumer unit, 240 hookup, inverter...

Thought I’d start my own thread for reference. Started out back in 2008 purchasing a 2005 Trendline swb Transporter which started off as a basic 102 bhp van then after 13 years of ownership turned into a lowered, carpeted 220bhp hybrid turbo van.

So bought an ex RAC van on Tuesday with the plan of converting it into a camper for trips away with the wife, two young kids and a dog! After getting it home we started on the not so fun job of trying to get all the racking out of the back! Wow I didn't realise that would be such an issue but...

I meant to start this when I got it in December for somewhere to document the changes but things went a bit quicker than planned. 150 Shuttle LWB just hit 2 years old at end of 2022 circa 13500 miles. Even before I had collected I had ordered sunglasses holder to replace the grab handle, the...
