Hi all,
Longtime user of VW forums and recent owner of a couple of Transporters.
Long story short, Dec 23 bought a T5.1 Caravelle to “dip my toe” into have a van as a daily with plans to convert it to a day van. Realised spending >£10k on a 2010 van with 110k miles may not be sensible - at least convinced the wife this was true. Fast forward to May 24 where I picked up a 2018 Shuttle with low miles at a good price.
I want this to become an adventure mobile to travel in, I have two young children who like a good “van-venture” as the eldest has dubbed it. The plan is to be able to use it to sleep 2 adults and 2 young kids.
Things I’ve bought to date.
You all know what a t6 looks like but here’s mine when I picked it up.

Things I’ve bought to date.
- Cabbunk Twin so the kids can sleep up front for a few years until we have to get a PopTop.
- Kiravans swivel bases for the above.
- Revolution T4 lowline awning
- Blackout curtains
- Front black out screen
- Rear bed system
