Hi All,
After having spent many years lusting after a Transporter despite never having really been in one I finally decided to kill the itch by taking a T6 Caravelle 204 Exec for a test drive about 18 months ago. Thinking that after driving one I could put it to bed as I was sure I wouldn’t enjoy the experience. Well 18 months on and after working hard on pulling the money together I placed my order today for a Caravelle 199 4Motion DSG in Black.
It’s going to be my daily drive and the main family vehicle for us and the 3 boys, 1 dog, along with bikes, camping kit etc. Good news is I think the wife is as excited about it as I am.
Now the long wait for delivery hopefully in April.
Looking forward to the adventures of ownership and life.

Hello all, picking up a T6 Kombi Edition manual today and wanted to say hi and look forward to general chat regards the vehicle.
Excited is an understatement lol.
Probably need to post else where but am in need of mud flaps but the dealer wants £184 so need to look around for cheaper. Tried Veedub but thay dont do them for the tailgate version.
Wish you all well and speak soon.

Hi all.
Just got the link from 4x4 community where we do the camping and offroad thing mostly. Bought my T6 Transporter DSG 4 motion about 2 years ago. Done quite a bit to it to make it comfortable.
My quick mod list
1]Bull bar[some pipes] with LED spots
2]Roofrack
3]Awning
4]Solar panel
5]2 x 105AH deep cycle batteries
6]Drawer system
7]Engel fridge [on 24/7]
8]dc to dc charger
9]DLS 4 x Splits, 2 x 10" subs, Amp, carplay pioneer radio
10]Sound proofed whole car
11]Carpeted all panels
12]Pure sinewave inverter
13]Console
14]Seikel suspension
15]235/65/17 CST tyres
16]Reverse camera
17]led work lights right round
When I go into Africa there is a water tank and pump on board as well, Roof tent, Shower
So I use it for everything, from run around to support crew in Africa.
And the colour? lava Orange. Not many of them here!
Other than running a small construction company, I also do 4x4 training, manufacture recovery gear, modify vehicles and go fetch broken down vehicles in remote places south of the equator.
I find very valuable info and like to stay technical on the product discussed here. I stay in Africa so socially we do things different to the poms. I hunt, shoot, dive, fly, bike, fish, cycle, carry a firearm daily to try and keep safe, stay behind electrical fences and visit Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique, Zambia, Angola, Congo when time allows
Greetings

Hi everyone, Rick here 
Having always hankered over getting a camper van for several years the wife and I have bit the bullet and purchased a 2015 T6 T32 Kombi to convert
Already started looking around for ideas and learning the basics.
I am sure I will be asking questions
Anyhow thanks for the ad

Would love to hear of your travels..
Hi All
Fulfilled a long standing dream and finally bought a T6 and getting ready now to convert it to a camper. Opportunity came about when I took a new job that meant I had to work away from home. Rather than buy a new car plus paying for hotels it just made sense to buy the van!
Will be used for everything from commuting and sleeping during the week to high mountain adventures across Europe and beyond.
Can't wait to get started and learn from you all!
Cheers
Nick

Graeme - Did you ever use Skidz in Falkirk for your ICE. I was thinking of taking a trip through to them in a few weeks to see what they have.

Morning,
New owner, first ever transporter. T6 Highline kombi DSG 4motion in Iridium Gray. Love it so far. However I had the van less than a week and some tit has already damaged my passenger side wing mirror.
We will turn it into a camper/ day van. I am really liking the tech they have stuffed the van with. It has everything except the power open and close boot.
Cheers
