Hoping folk can give me some advice please.
I am wondering if I should get a LWB shuttle or a LWB T6 Kombi/crew van to convert into an overnight van but I’m not sure which would give me more issues or cost more ! ( it’s likely I will get a company to do for me!)
My plans are to have the...
Any advice from those that have done similar would be great!
Probably a relatively common one, I'm the proud new owner of a t5.1 2014 LWB DSG shuttle which I'll be putting a simple conversion in.
I need 6 seats and want to keep it van-able for bikes, carrying loads etc... Thinking some kind of...
Purchased back in 2018, what started life as a simple panel van has quite literally become my pride and joy,
Everything that’s been done so far (apart from the rear cushions) has been done in house with just me and my dad
Hopefully it will be finished by this summer so it can make it to a few...
Evening!
So after fiddling a lot with the van this year its time to start prepping properly for day van usage :thumbsup:
I'm still reading a lot at the moment to work out my plans of what to do and what to avoid but while I do that I thought I'd put something on here...
So my question is...
hello
I would like to use my t6 swb panel van to sleep in, I intend to insulate and line and use a tailgate standoff.
I need to keep the bulkhead in, van has 1 side door and proposed bed will effectively be a frame with a matress on top and storage underneath.
Has anyone done this ?
Is...
I'm in the process of planning my panel van to day van conversion and have been looking at a few storage options.
One thing I am considering is a single storage cupboard over one of the wheel arches in the rear. Something like this
Has anyone gone down this route?
Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying this T6 day van. It's a great van but not much available space due to the full width RIB bed. Was thinking of a small kitchen pod housing a fridge and burner (no sink). Any suggestions or bright ideas?
Hi All,
What's the best option out of T32 & T30 for a general day van ? Understand that the T32 has a higher load capacity but is it overkill for what I need as it will never be fully loaded. Would the ride be too harsh ?

When camping I put a fold up fishing bed in mine. It’s really comfortable but takes up loads of room. I end up with all my stuff all over the place. I can’t build anything permanent as I need to be able to empty the van at a moments notice. So was wondering what other non camper van owners do.
Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows how insurance companies will class a day van, basically everything a normal camper has apart from a sink and Hob and no water tank or gas?? Thanks again.
Hi all,
I’m after some help/guidance/experiences with choosing the seats for my day van conversion.
I’m about to be the owner of a T6 SWB highline panel van which I’m going have converted into a day van.
I want the most flexibility out of the seats so o can have the benefits of a day van...
Exciting times... I'm finally pushing on with the process of getting my Kombi ready for using as a 'day van' in the summer... It's already insulated and lined (by Leighton Vans) but I'm yet to do other bits.
The next step is heading down to 'Forty Winks' tomorrow, to have a Kombi Bed fitted...
Been around the forum for a bit but not really posted much. I've been researching mainly for my camper/Day van project so thought I'd start a project thread.
The plan is get the roof fitted then do the rest myself. I'm waiting for date for that so thought I'd make a start stripping her out...
So I have left it a bit late to shift this on really so might sit on it until the spring but it might be up someone's alley as it has a gas heater plus mud and snow tyres fitted (17" steels):
Having been my pride and joy for the last 3/4 years. What started off as an ex plumbing contractors van...
