We are still talking vans here, right?

I'll just have to take that as a compliment

I often judge others by my own standards.

Would you happen to know if this is the same for all T6.1s? Or are there differences when the van has the OEM small camera fitted for lane assist etc. Thank you

You'd be best off emailing them as there might be a different fitment for lane assist - they email you asking for pics of your surround to make sure it'll fit once you order - in the main fitcamx thread someone mentioned they're making a version for models with high beam assist.

30 years of VW vans 1976 to 2006 and now back with a T6 Leisuredrive Vivante LWB Auto since July a beautiful drive and a well appointed conversion tho' some bits a bit hard to get to like the gas bottle cupboard(okay for you young fit and agile people but me not so as I'm of 1935 vintage) which didn't have a bottle a new one(Campingaz) costing in the region of £45 I decided to make use of a full bottle I already had, the pictures tell more or less what I have done.

The driver's seat has no elevation adjustment and was just too inclined so using longer bolts added spacers, these from my Magpie collection of bits.

I’ve just fitted the same model in my T6.1. From memory there are two option on the website depending on what colour existing cover you have, I can only presume the other model is for the HBA and lane assist

 

[Kev.O]

Expensive but worth it. Easy to install too. Just make sure you read the install guide on their website. For them to fit right you often have to remove pieces of trim.

Out of interest did you cover the small 25mm tech screws when fitting yours?

sorry mine is a T6 but i really dont know, i just ordered the same color shroud as mine and was fine, but i dont have lane assist

I’ve just watched a you tube video and I can see you have to made a Vee cut in the fabric, pull it back and once the screws are fitted cover the material back over.

Yeah that’s the one - very easy to do. Don’t worry about the flaps unsticking, they haven’t so far.

Renogy Core one setup and running with integration to dc to dc and battery through a shunt. Also have temp etc through a zigbee module/sensor.



Seems to,work better than expected and the visuals are good from website

Not done, but discovered today - presumably done last time I put the pop top down



Gutted. Barely six months old, and I'm really careful every time.
Only had some masking tape to hand, will attempt a proper repair job asap.

That sucks, I have used Canvas Repair Patches 'Tear-Aid' on a bell tent successfully before.

Design flaw! Scissor hinges lethal to canvas

My pals T5.1 camper did the same.
But I noted on my T6 there’s an elastic strap on the inside close to the very bottom of the pop top.
It runs across the van side to side and is attached to the canvas with clips.
This pulls the canvas in as it closes to prevent this happening
