Hi all, I've been researching (lurking) for a while now. Finally picked a van up a few weeks ago that I'm in the process of converting. I think the forum's already saved me a day in research.
I just need to find a good time to break it to the family that we're on beans and toast for the foreseeable.

Welcome to the van-induced restricted diet club!
Welcome. I'm sure the family won't mind the diet once you've finished it and are out on adventures.
Are you in Cambs area?
Thank you - no I'm Lincs area.
Rgr, thought I recognised the van. Certainly recognise the housing stock....
One of the perks - although I need to get the van sorted by winter so we've got somewhere dry to go.Rgr, thought I recognised the van. Certainly recognise the housing stock....
Welcome to the forum Dave.Hi all, Dave here. Looking to buy our first camper in the next week or 2, I’ll take a read and then stick a post on looking for plenty of advice
My advice would be to take your time during your search; don't time-limit your search and don't be rushed into buying an unsuitable van - there are LOTS of vans out there.
Create a list of "must have" options and a list of "nice to have" options, then ensure the former includes all the options you want that are very expensive, very difficult, impractical or downright impossible to retro fit (e.g. manual vs DSG, SWB vs LWB and air conditioning) and be prepared to be flexible on the latter.
Hi Dave. The search bar is your friend. You’ll find that all your questions have already been asked but if you struggle, stick a post up and you’ll get your answers.

Hi all
After more than a year (my wife says nearly 2) looking round and deciding what things I wanted and chatting to other motorhome users (some with big budgets), I have finally taken the plunge on a T6.1 conversion from a local specialist and took delivery yesterday.
Already seen some good suggestions on here. Will have to lurk some more but with post questions if/when I have them and any advice I can.
Cheers, David

Hello we are new to the T6 forum.
Hey Rico. Nice looking van you've got there!
At one point I was looking for a Shuttle, but finding an 8-seat LWB variant was like searching for hens' teeth. Did you have to search long to find yours?

Thanks Bav, to be honest was originally looking at the 9 seats, but once swmbo saw the captain seat in the front of the 8 that was it. No wasnt looking for too long. As I posted in another thread about Broadway Vans, they always seem to have 8&9 seat LWB & SWBs in stock but they do turn them over pretty quickly.
