The sensible ‘no brainier’ choice for a camper conversion - stand up throughout and room for a proper toilet/shower cubicle.
I agree. However you lose the Look, quality of driving and it’s not cool as the Bus .
And, even more importantly in my eyes, the ability to have a bed that you don't have to make up and pack away every day.
send link to where you bought this easy fix as I too hate the long straps.
It would be useful to know what you think of the quality of the clusters.
I've been tempted for a while now by the Advanced In-Car kit as they supply genuine VW clusters, but it's a bit on the pricey side.

I’ve been to CRS today, I needed some new rear spring rubbers, also was nearly due discs & pads so thought I’d kill two birds with one stone and have them done at the same time.
Came away with the 340mm front calliper conversion, grooved discs, matching rear disc, upgraded pads etc.
Suppose it is Christmas after all!

Thanks, we have been looking for a long time, finally decided it was time to take the plunge.Saw a few in Tarifa last week , definitely got me thinking, good luck with it
We plan on spending some more time travelling, hopefully in Europe, having a toilet and more space would make the whole experience better.
The T6 is going nowhere! Lucky enough to be able to keep both. Crafter actually drives very well, 1st and 2nd gear are a little short so it’s a bit of a race up the gears but cruises very nicely.
Still a big concern is parking the thing that’s why I love the SWB T6 so much and will still get used in places I know will be horrible to have the bigger van.
Turning circle in the crafter isn’t great!
Especially when it’s wet! That and forgetting you left something you really need/want in the cupboard blocked by the folding bed…

@Chris Sherwood. Despite the fact that I've still got reservations about those Quickpops things (don't worry, it's probably just me be over cautious!), I'm leaning towards buying some to try out. Before I do that, is there any chance that you could take a decent picture of one of the buckles as it's hard to see how substantial they are on the Quickpops website. I'm interested to see if they're the same sort of buckle that are used on 'normal' long straps - ie. this sort of thing:
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

The QuickPop straps are attached to the top J hook (so you can pull down on it) and have magnets in their ends so they stow neatly.
Two 60amp fuses and a couple of pairs of Anderson connectors.
Nothing van related for a few weeks but…
Treated myself to a new Xbox… SWMBO was unimpressed lol.

@Chris Sherwood @Andpopse. Thanks for the responses but it's all kind of irrelevant now as I've measured the gap between the staples' in the roof and car when the straps are tightened and it's probably too small at approximately 37mm - the website indicates a minimum size of 50mm for them to work.
