MrC 142 Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Just bought a T6 SWB on a 65 plate 47k miles. It will be built to a high standard and with quality components, Crash tested Bed, Double seat swivel base and Poptop roof, Dometic appliances, No MDF or Chipboard furniture, No cheap crap or cut corners £22500 + the Vodka. I can go as lairy or as mild as you want on the colour scheme, (Bright colours and glosses = more wow factor) Dont bother trying to get CAP guide on these things, buyers are totally lead by their hearts, I've never chipped on the price of done vans or a conversion. £29995 on a pitch at the start of summer is realistic Edited March 12, 2019 by MrC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrC 142 Posted March 12, 2019 Just now, trade vet said: Wonderfull Mr C,you will be hiring them out next ! Absolutely no chance, Its a world of pain I'll avoid. I did look in to it, with the idea of leasing brand new vans, build over the winter, rent out over the summer then sell in September and pay off the finance. Before we even get in to renting to the general public the insurance is very costly, You need an emergency van spare just incase one gets trashed, short term leases dont give you the V5 so I couldnt change it to a camper on the logbook 2 minutes ago, Stephen said: There’s a place near me doing this all seasons they are called, friend is thinking about one il mention it he said they were rammed but with the size of the shed they have guess they need to do some currently have about 10 they haven’t even started parked up All Seasons do some nice vans.

grant8064 219 Posted March 13, 2019 Great quality conversion. Our mechanic does four or five T4's a year (he doesn't trust the newer T5 & T6 stuff) and whilst they're good they're not up to your kind of standard...bit of a different price point though. How do you find these for reliability? Do VW do a petrol engined Transporter yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never done a TSI, VW have stopped doing them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark101 536 Posted March 14, 2019 I really admire your work Mr C and everyone knows there is a big market for this stuff, brand new, recently converted and even old dogs. For me, if I were paying that kind of money on a day van/light camper - I want a fixed bed, a shower and a toilet otherwise to me atleast, it is just glorified camping and still have to trek across a muddy field to relieve my alcohol infused middle aged bladder. My mate is massively into this scene He has a £170k German built proper camper which is amazing - I get it. He can wild camp and need for nothing with 3 days worth of water and power, scooter in the garage to nip out for supplies if required. He has an £85k very early 23 window bus which he loves - I don't get it. No toilet, no proper washing facilities, fold out bed, no head room, no power. Each to their own I suppose. That said - top quality work Mr C - wish I had your skills as it must be easier, sorry more rewarding than trying to polish a grand in to a generic used car.
