So everyone likes to see camper builds so i thought i would try to be a bit more proactive with piccies etc
Currently have a 2wd T6.1 (blk n wht) but shortly after buying it (and getting stuck) i thought why oh why didnt i get a 4motion...... so off back to VW to order one. with delays and everything its currently due in NZ Jan, but there is too much i want to do that needs a 4x4 so being impatient i went and bought a 2017 4motion ex Army mini bus - its mint, probly been cleaned weekly with a toothbrush by some naughty soldier only really plan on keeping it till new one is here so it can be a bit of a development conversion.
I can say though i took it for a 4x4 test at the weekend and it is impressive it climbed, decended, crossed rivers, traversed river rocks everything, without batting an eyelid
Its a bit diff with the mid high top, i did think i would be ripping that off to put the pop top in but they stick it on with some pretty serious glue and it looks like the roof hole is made a bit diff so there is chance pop top wont go in anyway.
I am thinking i am going to make a kitchen pod behind the seats rather than the traditional side kitchen, so we can pull it out and cook outside - sun tends to shine a bit more down here
So its off in for window tinting this week then at the weekend the fuel tank is coming off to put the Diesel heater pickup in, and we will get cracking with sound deadening.
