Hi everyone
I'm a long-time stalker on here and decided to join to vent my frustration at Inka for non-delivery of seat covers ordered in october...
In September I picked up a 17 plate 150PS reflex silver kombi, which I have been DIY'ing into a basic camper setup with a view to doing more as finances allow (RnR, pop-top, heating etc etc dream on!).
This and the T5 forum (I previously had a T5 kombi) are a invaluable resource and a major source of inspiration to a wannabe van DIY-er, so thanks to everyone who contributes.

Hi all
First post having joined the forum today. It’s been a dream for years to own a VW camper and at long last I collect this on Saturday. I’m like a kid at Christmas counting down the hours! Lots to learn as never owned a camper van before but looking forward to the journey (pardon the very bad pin). Taking the leap and trading my car in so this will be my daily car / van as well as for work trips to site. Any suggestions for websites or YouTube channels for newbies more than welcome.
Cheers
Dean

Thanks I’m in love already . Sorted insurance today and now wondering if I should get a tracker. The policy I ended up buying does not need it but from reading a few threads on here starting to think it’s a good idea. Already getting protective!
Hi All!
I’ve just found myself in the club!
Loving it so far!
Needs a couple of minor jobs done that I’m hoping to sort out myself. Have just picked up a heater blower module as it currently only works on setting 4. I need to get access to the cabin heater under the vehicle as that’s showing an E-6 error so I’m looking at how I do that now and I want to fix a minor bodywork issue but not sure if i can do that myself yet. I might post that up for advice.
Looking forward to new adventures!

Forgot to post a picture. Not much to look at at present. All the interesting stuff is going on inside. Done the electrics and insulation (mostly) and regrettably embarked on a diy plywood kitchen and bed set up to an unrealistic holiday deadline in October. Currently slowly correcting/redoing most of that work!
I didn’t really want the 18” wheels and non pluses at having to find/buy a spare and carrier!
Hi new member here.
Just brought an Ascot grey t6.1 have a few plans for it. I’m quite handy on vcds so will be looking to add some options to the van.
Previously owned a caddy and carried out a fair few oem mods including paddle shifters, rain light sensor, highline cecm upgrade, footwell lighting ect.

New Year! New purchase. To do / research list ....
Get the OEM rear camera into Kenwood DNX518VDABS. There appears to be some connection missing. PO didn't want the camera, I do, either just on reverse or additionally on command as no rear screen in the tailgate
Buy LED V3 headlights and LED fogs
Forty Winks bed
Possible diesel heater TBC
I'm sure more will be added to the list

Hi all,
Long time lurker just joined the forum now that I have managed to get a van that ticked all my boxes and more SWB 2019 Kombi 4Motion.
I need some time to recover some funds so nothing will happen for a while as far as mods go.
Longer term plans a day van setup.
Phil

Hi all, another lurker here, thought it was time to say hello. Had our LWB T30 T6.1 since about October '22. Bought as a basic panel van as a lot do (but already had some fairly nice wheels on), and looking at doing some of the conversion bits myself.
Already done the deadening, 8mm foil foam then, insulation; plus had windows done by a local firm (T4Life, Toby recommended by a mate and did a cracking job), then just a few bits here and there - Climair wind deflectors, rubber door pocket inserts, extra front door seals, bit of carpet in the back just to be going on with. Next biggy is the pop-top, but need to save up for that - Think Skyline is the way we're gonna go... in the interim, been looking at Rayne Automotive to get an initial Victron DC-DC charging setup with AGM leisure battery installed under the drivers seat, in prep for some first fit electrics that I think are easier to coincide with the pop-top install...
Anyways... see ya around guys

Welcome!Morning first post to say hello.. looked at a t6 highline 2017 this morning, thing is perfect but no carplay, reversing camera and needs lining / carpeting so here to learn
You will glad to hear that all those items can be retrofitted fairly simply! good search on here will be your friend.
Hi All,
Didn't realise I hadn't posted a pic of the new (to me) T6... Here it is, and am very pleased with it so far.
Am looking at upgrading the head unit and speakers as well as adding a sub to get better sound, don't want anything quite as expensive (or attractive to thieves) as the Alpine Halo, so am looking at a Sony unit currently.
I also want to change the tyres and possibly wheels as well. It currently has the VW 18" alloys on it (which I am not keen on). Looking at going the 'swamper' route but minus the lifted suspension. The car is std at the moment so already looks higher than many others I have seen since buying it. I'd like to go for the BF Goodrich A/T, tyres but am hesitating following mixed reviews about ride quality and wet grip on roads. The van is my daily driver so I need a tyre that is up to it. Am going to search on here for threads but any advice/info gratefully received.
Scott.
