Top Campervan Converters for holding price

[temma2k2]

Hi All,

I'm sure this is a question that has been asked many times, but I wanted to come at it from a resale angle, I'm in the process of buying a new T6.1 and want to use a converter that when it comes time to sell on in the distant future, which conversions hold their price better?

Are there awards for the top convertors in the country? Are there a general... these are the top 5 convertors?

I just want to make sure that we get the best as this is going to be a large investment for the family.

Thanks in advance!

I'd be more worried about diesel engines being banned or charged off the road.

Realistically do we have an idea of when diesel will be banned off uk roads? 2030+

Nobody really knows. Both Sheffield and Manchester are introducing charges for diesel engines.

Sheffield are including Euro 6 engines too. £10 a day charge going up to £50 for larger vans.

People going into cities for business will pass the costs onto customers, and people going in for shopping will just buy more off the internet.

Will will adapt, just like I think most people have regarding the current high fuel costs.

So nothing in the future to put me off buying a T6.1 now, as it looks like I will get a good 10+ years out of it...

If you do really plan to keep it until “the distant future” buy what is right for you and all that time you will spend with it.

Sheffield are EXcluding Euro6 according to Sheffield City Council site. So modern vans don’t pay the charge.

What our plans to introduce clean air charges in Sheffield city centre mean.

Apologies you are correct, Euro6 vans are excluded.

Sorry, but I find this kind of baseless scaremongering extremely irritating.

No-one is proposing to ban diesel vehicles. The government has proposed the ban on the sale of new ICE vehicles - petrol and diesel - from 2030. Even if this happens (and there are significant logistical and political obstacles to overcome first, so the timeframe is certainly not immutable) this will still mean that you will be able to buy new ICE vehicles as late as 2029 and that such vehicles will be on the road in large numbers until at least 2039.

So, you worry about that if you want, but please stop conflating the proposed ban on the sale of ICE vehicles with the banning of diesel vehicles.
