Hi All

We are excitedly waiting for delivery of our T6.1 campervan that should be with us in about a week (fingers and everything crossed !).

Can't wait to get out there and start using it, have already planned our first trip using Brit Stops and the CCC sites.

Just beginning to think about what else you need to purchased to have as the basic kit/essentials and wondered if anyone has any views on this ? (my lovely partner is specifically interested in what are the options around making proper coffee when travelling !!!).

Appreciate greatly any input people have or if there is a thread already out there that we can be pointed towards.

Many Thanks

Welcome to the forum! Whereabouts in Surrey are you?

If you haven't camped before it can be tricky getting the balance right, you can spend loads and never use half of it. Try and use as much as possible from home, and don't be afraid to have a nosy around wherever you stay, most people are only too happy to chat about their kit

Hi everyone, we are new members from Surrey. We just wanted to say hi and thank Pauly for the welcome message. My wife and I recently bought a T6.1 Kombi from 23' plate. We are planning to convert it into a camper/day van over the next few years. Can't wait!

Welcome @S40FTH

Around these parts we like to see some van pics if you're happy sharing.

Be warned visiting here often will give you ideas you've never thought of that your wallet may later not thank you for...

Hi, just an introduction. My wife and I acquired a T6 Transporter LWB last January our first major trip was to Scotland last month.
Which was cut short due to a health problem.
We have not been put off and we will be venturing out on trip soon.
We live in Camberley Surrey so we are handily placed for trips to the New Forest and the South coast.
