newbie

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...

Hey!! Literally just chatted with a guy in a car park as our T6s were parked next to each other and he mentioned this forum so thought I’d add myself to find out more about how peeps have customised their campers!!!

Hi all, newbie alert so please go easy on me! I'm just in the late stages of buying a custom build 2/3 year old T6 Highline T30 SWB 150 DSG with Sportline body kit etc from Woodstock Campers. I'm considering using it off grid occasionally but it only has one leisure battery. Before I go back to...

Hi I am a newbie who has graduated from the T5 forum following the purchase of a T6. I have previously had VW vans right through the Transporter range with the exception of a T1 split. I shared a T2 for a trip to Morocco in 1975 and I converted a 1978 bay T2 in the 1980's. Had a 25 year...

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...
