Hi all - just signed up to the forum as an just beginning my camper journey! I’m sure I’ll be back and forth but have a burning initial question I was hoping people could help with; thanks in advance!
A local dealer had a T6 up for sale that I went down to see today as I’m currently shopping for a base vehicle to do my own conversion; it had gone but I spotted a 2020 van that had two single front seats, was fully lined (not just ply but the fabric too), had two side windows and curtains. Unfortunately it had been sold but it’s got me thinking; my mrs is keen for us to do a camper project but wants it to be short and sharp as we have several home diy projects in the go as well! I’ve already found some kits that will speed the process up but I had no idea you could buy vans like this - I know it would cost me more but it does save a lot of time. I really would like two single front seats in particular to be able to walk through and I’ve read it’s a bit of a ball ache to source and change the dual front seat to a single.
So I’d really like to know if anyone knows more about these vans. Do they come straight from VW like that and why? Are they insulated at all under the lining? How rare are they? I tried speaking with the staff there but just had a junior who wasn’t able to help me with these questions beyond ‘tell me what you want and I’ll try to source it’.
thanks so much!
