Evenin’ all! Looking forward to ownership at some point soon, hopefully a Unicorn LWB DSG 4M, for health reasons, certainly not wealth reasons. Look forward to sipping and spreading the knowledge.

Always good to have sextuple opinions in triplicate!
Hey, thank you, yes that would be awesome, I'm local to and friends with Marc Lord (aka Fat bob) of Fat Bobs at the Blue Lias, if anyone goes, let me know (they also have a campsite)Welcome to the forum @T6 Bird.
If you're serious about meeting fellow members, you should probably consider attending one (or more!) of our forum events...
Most, if not all, of the events organised by the forum are located in the midlands, so not that far for you to travel.

Hi all, I bought a white 70 plate T30 kombi a couple of weeks ago and am looking to replace the plastic bumpers with painted ones and get the bottom half resprayed or wrapped. I also want to build a removable platform for the back to allow bags etc to go underneath and the dogs cage on top (maybe even for use as a bed base occasionally, with the back seats down). Any tips on either of those greatly appreciated! The kids and I are really loving the van so far.
Welcome!
I have the Ovano system in my Kombi and recently just bought the 4Pets dog crate for my Labrador which I have on the top shelf of the Ovano. It’s a very solid combination in fairness.

Thanks Chestnut, looks like a good system. Unfortunately I think the majority of any budget I have for the van right now is going to go on the bumpers and respray so will be looking to make something similar myself hopefully.
Indeed. All in good time, as there’s loads you will want to do. It’s definitely possible to build your own, but don’t scrimp on the drawer runners if you’re thinking of carrying reasonable loads in the drawer.
Oh…and we need photos…

Photos or it didn't happen I thought was the rule around here?!!
Means nothing to me, mate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Hey, thank you, yes that would be awesome, I'm local to and friends with Marc Lord (aka Fat bob) of Fat Bobs at the Blue Lias, if anyone goes, let me know (they also have a campsite)
I'm not that into the VW scene - I'm more about meeting up and camping out with others that have a similar wallet-related parasitic drain!

Good morning all,
Will be looking to convert my 2021 T6.1 DSG (150) T28 Highline into a family Camper shortly.
Owned from new as a works van but not really used in near on 5 years! Only 25k on the clock so hopefully lots of miles left to explore.
Will also be pulling a large twin axle caravan so probably going to need to upgrade it to a T30/32 level if possible.
Any help/advice is always appreciated.
Look forward to chatting to you all along the way.

Hi all, New member here. Always wanted a vw and have now gotten into the position to own one. I have a family of 5 to fit in our Kombi(not had a chance to get any decent pics yet with the weather!) Looking for recommendations for a good awning for us to sleep in? Also any must haves with a family? I’ve done a few bits and bobs to the van since having it. Also I’m leics based and would love to know of any local meets this year. Thanks. 
Welcome to the forum.
You're well positioned for most of the annual forum events as they tend to be located in the Leicestershire/Northamptonshire area. Check out the upcoming meets here...

Evening folks, just saying hello as a new member down in Falmouth, Cornwall. Recently got myself a SWB T6.1 panel van, converted to day van / simple camper.
You’ve already saved my bacon with the old leaky roof rails fix, so I’m indebted
I’ve got what I’ve come to learn, is quite an unusual setup inside. A floor rail system with sliding quick-release 3 seater isofix bed. It’s called the Schnierle SL-3. Turns out quite pricey, so glad I didn’t pay for it!
Works wonders for flexibility. Big load space when needed, more leg room when not. Plus the rails (called an L-Track) take quick release fixings for tie downs. Very handy!
Anyway, thanks for having me, hope I can repay the favour in some small way.

Morning all, long time lurker. This forum has saved my bacon many times. I'm finally back in a crafter(yes it's not a t6, but I should atleast say hello after the amount of help you lovely lot have provided) 2018 LWB trendline. Worlds apart from my old 2010! And just as much of a headache to fix it would seem. Will be using it to tow the race car (mk5 gti, drag car)
