Hi CAB, thanks for the reply. How do I join?

Here's a shot of the drivers seat, swiveled but not flat.

Our first weekend away as a trial run...

 

[The Wibbler]

And yes, the awning's leaning the wrong way (as I found out after it rained and I adjusted the angle and got a soaking!)

Never mind - only a trial run. We all live & learn.

Mine always looks wonky - high at the front to allow the door to open, low at the back to allow rain run-off. Don't want it too flat as it can collect.

Do you have a tie-down kit? Recommended if you leave it unattended.

Hi Cab

Yes I bought some tent guy lines and tent peg nails which I added after the photo.

I might experiment with a canted awning next time as I nearly brained myself on the front down setup!

Hi all, have just become the proud parents of a 2017 T6 camper.
This is our first foray into the camper world so please be prepared for a few questions, some will be mundane, some probably downright stupid (to you maybe, not to us newbies!)….
Anyhoo, expect to meet some of you at some stage, be nice - we’re old!!!
Cheers
Kirk

[kjohnr2001]

Will add a couple more when we actually have the van, not going to add any yet, looking forward to a new adventure,
Cheers Bav

Ooo, not seen one a black over white two-tone before. Is that a part-wrap or is it all painted?

 

[kjohnr2001]

Hi Bav, not actually black - it’s metallic blue, same colour as my Jaaaag….
Appears painted, not wrapped
Nice though, the other blue/white ones I have looked at are usually light blue bottoms with white uppers

Ah, okay - even better. I presume then that that's Starlight Blue(?)

A vast majority of 2-tones have the lighter colour on top - not sure why that is, but seems to work the other way around for yours.

Have you joined Team Two-Tone yet?

 

[kjohnr2001]

Didn’t know there was one tbh….
As I said earlier, just dipped a toe into the VW and T6 camper world, bear with me, will catch up soon (I hope)

Hi all, been lurking on here for a month or two to get inspiration for my first van. I’m a week into ownership after trading in my Audi S3 and have not looked back.

Aim is to turn her into a camper over the winter, but had to address a few things in the beauty department first so last weekend she was lowered, new shoes & socks, some glossy grills & badges, CarPlay stereo & a fresh steering wheel.

Aiming to do all work myself, so appreciate some of the helpful guides and suggestions that you’ve all contributed so far - hopefully I’ll be able to help others going forward too!
