I'd take aircon over cruise all day long.
Beware the older van might need the expensive 4 year service, cam belt, water pump, dsg etc.

@colinthechemist. For some reason, I thought about this post a short while ago and realised that I should have started it with something like 'Apart from the obviously differing all up weights,'@colinthechemist. I can't actually answer that question for you but I can tell that my van weighs in at 2.28 Tonnes which I'm guessing is pretty representative of a T6 with full camper conversion in 'side kitchen' configuration but without anything else of significant weight in it. Every time that we fully load it to go on a trip, I say to my wife we must stop off at the public weigh bridge to check the fully laden weight and then we both forget!
I hope your future posts are only good ones then, madness!The crazy thing is, I've bought it without seeing it in person
Good spot! Given that @colinthechemist is in Cornwall, I would suggest a chat with @The Van Cave about putting that right. Will make the world of difference to the van (and, as we all know, probably something that would have come up on the “improvement list” for the more expensive van!)I’d spend some of your £8k getting the suspension sorted, it looks to be sitting very low on the rear from that picture.
Hope you like it when it arrives and you get to see it in the flesh.
Well spotted @T6Paul I don't think I would have noticed that even if I'd been standing right next to it!I’d spend some of your £8k getting the suspension sorted, it looks to be sitting very low on the rear from that picture.

Probably due to the additional weight added to the van when converting. My Cali (all that glass and pop top weight up high) had the most basic of suspension “out of the factory” and was a horrible drive until I got it sorted. (SWMBO still resents that VW allowed a cali out with such underwhelming suspension!)Well spotted @T6Paul I don't think I would have noticed that even if I'd been standing right next to it!
Yes, I spotted that tooBeware the older van might need the expensive 4 year service, cam belt, water pump, dsg etc.
