New member. I'm currently looking to get t6 camper. I've looked at a couple of places around the Newcastle area.

Huge price differences. 1 place Southland Motors 2018 van around £40000. Other place All Season Campers 2018 £48000. Vans at All Season seemed to be better fit and finish. Anybody bought from All Seasons campers?

Concerns are 10 years finance and resale value. Any advice gratefully accepted.

Look forward to my future owning a T6

I had a good quote from A Plan insurance. Much better than the confusedmoneymeerkat sites. Specialist insurers who know much more about our cherished vans and offer better products for less money. No brainer imho

Adrian Flux covered me for £275 51 years old 9 years no claims for a 2016 T6 T30 with a professional conversion.

Hello folks! Newbie here. Awaiting the arrival of my T32 Kombi Highline that should be here in the next couple of weeks. Can wait to get rid of my A6 Avant now it’s doing my head in.

I’ll post pics when it arrives, I’ve gone for the fastest color - White!

Nice Kombi. My DSG Kombi turns up tomorrow? I literally cannot contain myself. Go Team Grey! Woo hoo

 

[J4son1971]

Thanks Lee.
Had VWs for nearly 30 years, but relative newcomer to modern stuff. Had a Mkll Caddy, an Indian Blue T4 and then a Candy White and Reflex Silver T6s before this one.

Also run these.

Hello, I am just looking to purchase a t6 t28 trendline 2ltr 102 bhp, and was wondering if this is the best engine to buy, also is there anything I should be aware of with this vehicle that I should be aware of that I can rectify before something happens, I'm only asking as I had a passat with a bxe engine that siezed and vw were fully aware of the problems with the bxe engines and did nothing, it eventually cost me over £3000 to sort,
Cheers

Depends what you are going to do with the van, and what performance you expect.

It’s a reliable unit, capable of high mileages if serviced properly.

Are you buying new ?

Hi all, new to the whole vw t6 scene. Having owned a couple of Audis which I’m never touching with a barge pole again I have decided to buy a t6 Kombi to use as a family bus. I picked up a 68 plate t32 Kombi highlife swb last week and couldn’t be any happier, space isn’t a problem anymore, hopefully start changing a few things on it when I get some cash.

New member here. I signed up today but picked up my T6 SWB highline Kombi on Tuesday. Like a lot of the threads I have read through, the intent is to convert into a camper or similar over the next few months. Though I could, I'm not intending to DIY so I am open to recommendations.

There's so many options.... I could get one company to do it all, get the best companies to individual bits, I could go for the standard layout or something that better suits my needs. Materials, styling, comfort practicality - jeeeze so much, I don't know where to start.

I'd like to get some of the van s/w options modified (folding mirrors on lock, drive away locking, etc) so will need to find someone friendly in the area with VCDS. Not sure what order to get the rest done or just hand it over with a ton of cash and wait for a final result. There seems to be a lot of conversion companies in the south west (Devon / Cornwall), North and Scotland. Anybody know of similar in the south M3 or M4 corridor?

I'd be happy to meet up with similar minded in this area, especially if I'm allowed a mooch around their van or chat about conversions so I can get some ideas where to start. I have a lot to learn and I'm sure there's beer tokens for experiences shared.
