    Is the T32 a boneshaker even when well loaded?

    Would appreciate some thoughts from T32 owners. I am contemplating downsizing from a coachbuilt 3.5 tonne motorhome to a T32. With high roof, LWB, 150 BHP, DSG. No lowering or anything like that. I'm old. But I am pretty certain that I'll need either an uprated T30 with T32 rear springs, or...

    20’s any regrets?

    Hi, I’ve just purchased a t6.1 and I’m thinking of upgrading to a set of 20’s. Once the van is converted, I’ll be using it in a rural-ish area, campsites, bit of commuting on the roads etc. I’ve seen one or two comments on here about people ditching their 20’s and going back to 17’s, 18’s...

The van is currently sitting on what I think are Judd T311R 20s, and have a 255 35 tyre: The fitment is very close, and whilst the van looks cool, and I've had no issues with rubbing etc, I've decided I just can't live with the ride. Im going to...

    Sore back from poor road surfaces

    I have recently purchased a T6 and have found that the suspension is absolutely diabolical when the road is anything other than perfect. Is there anything that can be done about this, I live near Portsmouth?

    Downsize wheel size T5

    Any advice? I have a T5 2014 and the previous owner put on low profile 18 or 19 inch wheels. I want to change back to something to give a better drive and cheaper tyres. Any advice out there on wheel/tyre size and type? Many thanks. Philip

    Tyre choice for T32 Camper

    My campervan T6 T32 DSG 150 has 215/60 R17 C Continentals as fitted when bought from Bilbos. They get me round corners and stop well BUT the van ride is somewhat harsh. Can anybody advise if different tyres might help with the ride? I’m recalling my last motor, a Toyota AWD RAV4 and the magic...

    Increasing The Comfort

    Hi, I have a T32 which I have had for around 4 years. After about a year I wanted a more stylish look so I put some H&R lowering springs on it and some 18 inch VW Dakars.

    Caravelle: Barn Doors or Tailgate?

    One of the things I like about my Kombi is the increased practicality of the Barn Doors. I also, believe it or not prefer the look of it. I'm fully aware that it will impact the resale value. However, before I spec it I would like to know if it has any detrimental effect on the interior noise...
