Hi Everyone,

I’ve been a long time lurker & reader but only took the plunge and posted today partly because I dunno if there’s a wee sidey park-up place for us T5.1ers? Are we allowed?

If so then I’ll happily post a pic and wax lyrical about Baxter, my 2011 Caravelle Exec but if not then that’s no worries, I’ll just keep reading and gleaning from the hive mind

Hi @F34415

Yes, there certainly is a specific sub-forum for T5 owners (here), but do feel free to enjoy the whole site - all dubbers welcome.

BTW, I Googled your username, but all that came back was a match with the product code for a pair of Adidas trainers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hahahaha it’s not nearly that esoteric, I promise. It’s just my last name in number plate form.

Feel free to Google or head to @LizzyFerret on insta if you’re very keen to find out more about me

That’s great to know about the T5 subforum, thanks a million.

Hi all.

Bought this on a bit of a whim already converted.

- 38000 miles
- Full Big V Kamper conversion
- Lowered with 20” alloys
- Heating system plumbed into diesels tank

A bundle of other bits I’m sure I’m missing

Any suggestions on what essentials I need?

Welcome to us all @Braddabing ! Van looks good! The last time I had 'whim money' like that was before I bought my van! There are so many things for you to buy, you've certainly come to the right place to find out what they are!

Hi, thanks for adding to forum, just bought T6, starting camper conversion. Very useful forum.

Hi, thanks for adding to forum, just bought T6, starting camper conversion. Very useful forum.

Welcome along @Rusla . It is an essential that you show us what you have! We are nosey folk after all! Send us a picture! Mine is currently desperately in need of a bath, so don't worry if yours is the same!

Hello all. Should have joined years ago. Now I'm here because we're planning to sell our beloved T6 later in the spring.

Hi everyone,

Just took the plunge and purchased my first camper, a 2011 T5.1 so I'll be lurking in that area of the forum. Van is already in great nick but I'm sure something will crop up very soon, and I'll be leaning on all of your expertise and experience!

Glad to be here!

Welcome NewDubs , exciting times !
Need to get out there and use it now .

Welcome to the forum @NewDubs.

Make sure you venture outside the T5/T5.1 area - all dubbers are welcome to access all areas and T5/T6 overlap is extensive.

Hi
Picked up this gorgeous van a few months ago, my first venture into van life! Too tight to get it professionally converted, so hoping I can do enough myself, to enjoy a summer of festivals with it. A little overwhelmed tbh, so just concentrating on the inside for now! Appreciating all the useful information on this forum, thanks!

Hello everybody, my name is Bruno, I'm Italian but I live in Northern Ireland. I bought a Caravelle T5.1 2 days ago (forgive me it's not a T6), and I'm very happy with it.... I've been dreaming about it for a long time and I finally did it.... now let's hope it doesn't cost me too much in diesel, given that it's 2.5l. I don't know if this is the right thread to ask for advice, since I'm new I still don't know how the forum works. I'll try to ask anyway. I noticed that my vehicle is missing this sort of protective cap and I have to say that the eye doesn't like it at all, so I'm trying to figure out where to find the "blueprint" that tells me the code or in any case the name of this cap. Could someone help me? Thank you all so much.

Hi all, Tom here. We are currently in the process of purchasing a T6 LWB for a camper conversion that we will have done by a camper builder. Have been looking into the forums a lot for experiences, tips and suggestions. I hope to contribute here soon as well as an owner, until then thanks for all the information!
