Welcome to the forum and congrats on a great decision.Hello everyone
After driving Passats for 16 years I decided to buy a T6 workvan with 120k on the clock with the intention of converting to a camper.
My wife is not happy, my children are not impressed. In my defence I always wanted to do this, the van is clean with FSH and a nice new van is out of my budget.
I have had a look at several threads and you lot seem to know your stuff, looking forward to the experience.

I guess logistics limits you to pros in NI, or maybe ROI also(?). Either way, I'm afraid I can't help with recommendations. If you post in the right area of the forum though, I'm sure someone will be able to suggest companies.Bit of both, I'm happy to do the soundproofing, insulation ply and carpet.
Electrical and gas fitting I will handover to the pros.
For quality finish, safety and peace of mind I am leaning towards the pros also, hard to know who to go to though.
Leaky sliding windows?Hi Camper Driver what is the recall? as I have a T6.1 too.

It's related to the front door "bowden" cables, they're part of the opening & closing mechanism? It's recall number 57i1. I had mine freeze up a while back and couldn't shut the driver's door, and according to the recall it could cause the doors to be not locked or even pop open while driving when it's minus temperatures outside!Hi Camper Driver what is the recall? as I have a T6.1 too.

Hopefully if it was new in November it will have been built with the new kit so the issue won't exist, fingers crossed! Ours was Oct 2020 so only 11 months old when we bought it as a newly converted camper. Hopefully we'll get the couple of things done and put the issues behind us. We're really loving the camper, it's exactly what we'd been planning for years!Thank you I bought my T6.1 last November new and I’ve had no trouble with the door locking.

Be sure to waveHi Pauly and everyone else,
We bought our T6 Ocean diesel in winter 2019 from a letting business. It had only 3000 Km and was new in May of that year.
So far we love it. I have some complaints and useful maintenance tips that I have picked up along the way.
I hope to share with you anything useful to keep things running and cost manageable. However, reading the quality of the post so far sets the hurdle high for my contribution. I am so pleased to have stumbled on this forum.
