New T6 Owner

[Jordanfoote86]

Hi All,

I have recently become the owner of my first Van, it's been a longtime coming with being in to MTBing and having a growing family. Looking to modify for camping without loosing the ability to haul bikes and the family as it is my daily vehicle.

Any tips and advice will be welcome.

Thanks,

Jordan

Welcome to the Forum!
I wish I'd had a Transporter 25 years ago when my family were young, it's a great versatile vehicle. I hope you and your family enjoy it!

I followed a similar plan....keep the van as flexible as possible. Had the rail system fitted and turned it into a 3-8 seater.
Passengers one day, load lugger the next!

Yep, turned out quite plush!!! Still going strong 9 years and 130,000 miles on, just as well kept.

Have a look at an explorer bed system, or slidepod. Being a short wheel base even with a sliding rail system you are limited for space.

You can take out your kombi seats and make an anchored bike holder bike rack for the sliding door when you dont need the rear seats, and have the bed/kitchen area still onboard.

I've got a Reimo sliding seat system and can't fit my bikes in the rear when fully forward ( although I do have slim line kitchen units )

Then in another van I've got kombi seats, Slidepod system and I take the seats out when i want the bikes in there ( Big electric bikes )
