Hi all, previously built a T5.1 Camper and documented all that on the T5 forum so going to do the same with my new build. I like taking photos as I go as it’s a great way to check something down the line and it helps me do a neater better job.
As always finding the base van isn’t easy but having sold my last camper which was a 2013 T5.1 for decent money I wanted to plough all that back into the next base van and go from there. I’ve kept the 20” Navis Twin 5’s and the Solow lows from the last van as it was easier to sell on more conservative 18’s and 50mm suspension. I’ve put the wheels on the new one already but will put the Solows on later when it’s finished.
This van is a 2021 T6.1 Highline 150bhp 6 speed and obviously feels well quicker and more refined than the previous one. Loving all the improvements like flat bottom leather wheel, nice dash, parking sensors front and rear etc etc and the colour was top of my list.
Decided to go for a pop top on this one as never had one and heard great things. It’s not really a DIY job so entrusted it to Camper Vamper in Limerick to do it and they did a nice job. Once I got it back I could properly start into the conversion having only done the clean out, windows, sound deadning and first layer of insulation prior to the pop top.
