Best places to view T6s before buying?

Thanks @Skyliner33 I checked Camper Jam out, but unfortunately I don't think we can travel that far outside of the school holidays. Will look out for something similar in the West Country though

Bristol Volksfest is in a couple of weeks in Bristol. There's usually a couple of converters there - might be worth a trip up.

Eden Motorhomes in Redruth have a couple of T6's in stock according to their website (check before travelling)
My van was converted by Chilli Jam vans based in Hayle and I am sure they would be happy to discuss their conversion options and they will most likely have a couple of vans being converted you could potentially look at to give you some ideas.

Every 5th vehicle around the Cornish coast seems to be a Transporter, I reckon 50% of people wouldn’t mind you viewing / discussion if approached.

Yeah go to a campsite and talk to people

We will be down in Looe in July - happy for you to have a look around the van. I have a California Beach

Thanks so much @JOG. That’s so kind. I’ll send you a message closer to the time.

Thanks. Great suggestion. It looks like a fun weekend!

I’ve got lots of (tent) camping booked before the end of the year so I shall have a chat with some T6 owners if I can.

Haha that is true! The school run seems to be 1/3 campervans!!

Both are super close to me so I’ll check them out. Thanks

There used to be a place off of the Scorrier turning (JLR Dealership) in Cambourne, can't remember the name of the place, used to pass it on the way to my Dad's, always had a selection of VW's on the forecourt.

Drove past the Bridgwater Van Centre (Marshalls) on Tuesday - they have quite a good stock of used T6.1s in a good choice of colours - no prices displayed but have a look on their website. Looks like you'll be passing by fairly soon so a quick divert off the M5 at junction 23 - the centre is about 5 mins from there.

There's quite a few dealers in the north west, mainly motorhomes but might be worth a nosey on their websites as you'll be passing on the way to the lakes.

INGS north of Kendal has a dealership (E S Hartley Motorhomes) which seems to have quite a few Transporters in stock if you're around there.

good luck with your search.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I know the one you mean. I’ll check it out as it’s just down the A30 from me

Yup, on our way up and back down again. Thanks. We’ll check them out!

I checked them out on Google Maps and we will be driving passed them! Thanks!
