There are a couple of ways - the easiest way to add them into forum posts is drop the photos onto your desktop and simply drag them into your posts (works on Mac not sure if its the same on a PC?)Thanks davenjo, how do we send photos and stuff!

Hi,
Been lurking for a while but pick up our ex showroom Blackberry 204 DSG Highline Kombi on Friday and thanks to everyone on here I have already spent the next years pocket money in my head!! It will be converted to a camper in February but so far planned mods are:
Door extra dust seal
B12 lowering kit
Sportline angled led sidebars
Electric latching
Front bonnet wind deflector
Devonport wheel customising photos to follow in appropriate thread
Considering front end styling but can't make my mind up yet.
@Pauly will the sidebars and dust seal be back in stock soon? How should I go about ordering the electric latching kit?
Thanks again to all the 'evil' customising genius's on here.

Hi Simon
As of last week VW are refusing to supply the illuminated sidebars anymore so I have temporarily marked them out of stock but unless we can resolve the situation then the LED version will be removed
Dust seals will be back in stock soon I am awaiting a new shipment from Germany
If you are interested in a latching kit send me a PM and I can arrange it for you

Thanks @Pauly , I did wonder if that was the case so let's hope they change their minds soon. I'll be in touch about the latching once I have the van. Cheers

D and R Custom Campers of Elgin. Stumbled upon them via google after searching all over the country! They started last year and did a terrific job on our van. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Nothing seemed too much trouble with loads of choice and options available.Hey Smudge.
Van looks amazing. Who was your convertors?? I couldn't really find anyone in the Highlands that did a conversion that we liked.
Hi there,
Just joined the forum and looking for some advice as we're planning on getting a camper this year and there are just loads of options. I think we may use it as our daily drive so we can add to the kitty by selling our current car. We have a small child and a dog so looking for something with enough seats to accommodate everyone and enough space to be able to fit in bikes etc. when just running around. I was thinking of a LWB T6 with sliding rear seats so we can make the most of the space. It has to be Euro 6 compliant too as we live in the London area and the emissions zone is set to be expanded soon. I'm looking to use it for family holidays as well as it being our daily drive but as we have a great tent and camping set up I'm not too desperate for a pop top bed - although the extra height would be nice! Our question really is whether to buy a van and convert it or to go for an already converted / factory version? I know that if we did convert we could get the exact layout that would suit us best, but looking through threads this seems to be something that can end up as expensive if not more so to do. Plus there's the decision of which base van to start with (Kombi, Caravelle and so on).
Any tips welcome!

Welcome, we have just made our choice and have a very similar family set up to you. We had a few pre-conceived ideas, LWB with sliding seats, but have gone with SWB fixed RIB bed and pop top for the little one because it suited our needs and makes the van easier around the tight car parks and schools my wife visits. We have friends with again similar family set up but they have gone with the LWB and sliding seat as it is what suited them so the best advice I can give is to visit dealers/converters and see things for yourself to see what suits you. Good luck and enjoy the journey.
As @andys says.... best to hire a van first to see your options.
LWB which we have, gives you lots of options: more room to slide bed back and for, so more storage options.
We had a kitchen fitted into the rear of van with tailgate so very convenient access etc.
We started with a base van - T6 panel van highline with a few extras fitted.

Great advice, we did this before deciding a camper was the future for us.
