Good afternoon folks
Just found the forum and it looks like the accumulated knowledge of the universe on T6s is available here. We have recently aquired a T6.1 and had it converted by Sherwood Campers. Previously we had a T5 from Hillside Leisure for 7 years so we are not unfamiliar with van life. The T5 was manual with a manual popup roof which was a problem for SWMBO to retract when she was away on her own. The T6 is DSG which is a dream to drive, with a Reimo electric roof, a Clayton LPS 2 2500 power pack with solar, powers everything. So far very happy with it. A few teething probs with the electrics which I hope all the experts on here will assist with in due course.
Glad to have found you

Cheers

Dave Yates

Afternoon all,

Been lurking for a few weeks. Am loving the new van (T32 Kombi), just trying to plan the order of what and when the conversion starts.

Getting the van is a vital first step (one I'm struggling with atm).

Finally got my T6 Kombi on Thursday and managed to got my first proper pics of it down at Melwood yesterday. Loving it so far.

Greetings all, just received my 2021 T28 SWB high line conversion that I one in a competition. I will have a look around and I am sure I will ask many questions in the future.

Morning all.

Joined as have been a lurker for a while but am now in the position to be buying my first T6 or 6.1.

Have seen a few in the "for sale" section and really want to get one form an enthusiast rather than a dealer.

I've got friends with T6's and with 3 kids and a dog we've decided the SUV is to go and a van incoming, wife seems more excited than me so that's always a good thing!

Hoping my questions wont be too stupid but bear with..

Welcome to the forum.

The only stupid questions are those not asked - trust me, I've tested that theory extensively!

Good evening all (assuming a UK audience)

Have been lurking for a week or so and just registered, researching all things campervan related prior to diving in.

Evening, swapping my TTS for a TSI kombi……. Looking forward transferring them 300 horses from car to van

Hi everyone, joined as looking to dip my toe into my first van, ideally a 150bhp kombi… fantastic site full of so much info! I got a steep learning curve to go through! Let the search commence!

Nice one @Cuffy.

Enjoy the font of all, well almost all, VW knowledge.

Congrats.

300 horses easily achievable on the TSI.

Hi all! I'm writing from Ireland, looking to buy a T6 to convert. Second hand here almost as expensive as a new one so I'm still deciding what to do. Thanks a mill for all the wisdom here!

 

[tonys102]

Hi - just found this forum, and hoping it's going to be a wealth of info. I got a '19 T28 Startline which is already converted, but stock from a Van perspective. So looking for advice on suspension (she sure do roll a lot, especially on Swiss Mountain Passes), wheels/tyres and ICE.

Hi and welcome. The used prices over here can be expensive too. Just out of interest I went on We Buy any Van. They valued my 2018 T30 at £4,000 more than I paid for it 3 years ago.

Welcome to the forum! Got any pics? Find your team and post some!

@BognorMotors probably your closest bet for suspension, although @The Van Cave and @CRS Performance are about equidistant.

@Absolut5 are close to you for your ICE!
