Welcome new members

Hi, new to the forum and a new T6.1 owner here. Picked up last weekend from a great custom build by Woodstock Campers. First purchase a MetaTrak system fitted by Chris at Dav-Tec in Chestefield. Brill work by Chris, going back for more add-ons as I find out from this Forum what I didn’t know I needed!View attachment 272740
Welcome to us all @Janner152 , beautiful van! Lovely set of Velare VLR07'S there, be careful if you have 35 profile tyres, I've had 2 Velares crack before going for a slightly larger profile tyre. Woodstock do some great conversions, any photos of the inside? Not that we are nosey obviously!

Couple here, went for real wood work tops, blue theme. Will double check tyres, Chris commented yesterday that it had Range Rover tyres fitted and needed lower profile. It’s got 275/40’s

I wonder if you have staggered wheels on it? Ask our Chris what wheels it has. 275's on the front are a bit too wide, especially on an 8.5 wheel. On the back fine. A local suspension chap told me to go 245/45 on the fronts, 275/40 on the back. I have 8.5/10 staggered wheels, there's so much advice on here regarding wheels and tyres! I picked mine up with 275/35 tyres, it was those that I had 2 cracked wheels with, ever since Michelin CC2's on the 245/275 combo, no issues.
 
Hello everyone and thanks @Pauly for the message. Sorry it took longer than needed.

This is Snaporaz, I have been dreaming of campervan life (will start with holidays for the time being) for some time. After much discussing and getting lost in what, when, if, and any further distractions, my partner and I decided to get a van. We went for a VW T6 LWB as we decided the extra money would be well spent and to do the conversion ourselves from scratch.

We just got our van and I managed to remove all the racks bolted and riveted in the back. We have started doing research, we have the idea of the layout, but I believe it will be a long, yet rewarding journey. I am sure I will be able to get inspiration and support on this forum.

Thanks in advance for the support I will find to all those that came before and shared their experiences and useful information, as well as the support I might receive ;)
