newbie

Hi All. Waiting eagerly to see my van delivered to converters this coming week. Reading all the comments based on your experience of VW ownership.

New to the forum, hope I can work out how to use the forum and contribute. Thanks

Hello and thank you for accepting me into your forum/group. I am a ( Dave) Newby to the Transporter Van/ Camper world and have spent the last 2 weeks trying to educate myself into the terminologies, specs, and different types of trim that goes with a VW Transporter. I am presently on the prowl...

Hi All, Just joined this forum to hopefully get some good advice on purchasing a T6 campervan. Where would the best place be to search? I’ve been looking at autotrader and eBay what like seems forever.! I’m after a swb with a budget of 30k and not too many miles on the clock… is this too much...

Hi all, newbie alert so please go easy on me! I'm just in the late stages of buying a custom build 2/3 year old T6 Highline T30 SWB 150 DSG with Sportline body kit etc from Woodstock Campers. I'm considering using it off grid occasionally but it only has one leisure battery. Before I go back to...

After years of wanting a van and hours spent reading the excellent threads on this site I am now fulfilling my dream - on Monday I will be placing an order for a 150 DSG SWB Kombi in Pure Grey with the following add ons: LED front and rear lights Rear Camera Power Latching Cab Carpet Heated...

Hello all I am about to enter the Transporter ‘Club’ and have decided to reinfuish my car in favour of a van and rhe transporter seems to be the go-to van. The main reason for doing so is for mountain biking. Simply, we would like to be able to load our bikes into the van and get away from the...

Hi there, After years and years of wanting a van and not being able to afford one, we are finally about to take the plunge. We are able to get 20% off new through a work scheme. We think the best option is to go for a T6.1 kombi rather than panel having read some of the threads on here (we get...

1st of March, St David’s day and when I pick up the new Van and since the worst of the Winter will be behind us and hopefully Spring will be well established. Covid-19 is still going to mess things up for some time but I have to remain optimistic that some fun with the new T6.1 Highline Camper...

Hi I am a newbie who has graduated from the T5 forum following the purchase of a T6. I have previously had VW vans right through the Transporter range with the exception of a T1 split. I shared a T2 for a trip to Morocco in 1975 and I converted a 1978 bay T2 in the 1980's. Had a 25 year...

Hi everyone! We are total newbies, to the Forum but also to T6's (although if feels like going back to my roots - we had a T2 camper growing up, and my very first motor was a (devastatingly rusty red/white) 1972 T2). We are looking for a T6 to convert, and really like the notion of twin sliding...

I've had a read through and a search for any similar topics, so I'm sorry if this really has been posted 100 times. This conversion will be for weekend use, the occasional week trip and maybe a festival or two. We need usb ports, lights - nothing too crazy like heating etc. So I'm thinking...

Hey to the t6 gang. Never thought id own one. Ever. But by goodness gracious, i love this velle. my old mans sportline is smoother on the engine front (204, dsg bitdi) but i like a sloshy ride, soaks dem bumps. who wants sports suspension on our roads... haha! - obviously apart from the...

Hi everyone, This is my first post on here so go easy please ;) I'm considering getting a T6 SWB van (or T5 I guess) which I will mainly use everyday for work but then occasionally for personal use - DIY stores, dog walking, dump etc. As far as costs are concerned, am I better off buying a...

Hi Ladies & Gentlemen, a quick post to say hello and introduce myself. I'm Chris, 40, 2 young kids, looking to get a newish T6 Transporter for work duties, with a view to convert it to something similar to a Cali Beach for short and infrequent, spring/summer camping weekends. I'll try take a...

Hello all, Great forum! Yet to buy & convert or buy already converted campervan!? Lifes been busy but hopefully get time this winter to sort... any recommendations welcomed Thanks Tom
