Mmmm, what about the premature wear and potential failure of the timing belt that runs inside the engine, lubricated by oil in the EcoBlue Diesel, 2.0L EcoBlue Diesel, and the 2.2L TDCi Diesel engines? I've read of some owners needing a third engine at as little as 80k miles. The new VW uses the same engine (apparently) which will put off many potential buyers.
Quite surprised to learn this is only 2cm narrower than a Ducato. Converters should take it as an opportunity to offer a more "PVC like" fixed rear transverse bed layout. This would free up so much space upfront and give bigger storage volume. A couple of French converters already offer that kind of layout. Anyway, excellent presentation as always Peter.
Expensive way to be uncomfortable and go camping
Excellent review as always 👍
Great looking camper van. I'd also consider the swift trekker x. More room and a shower toilet. Sa.e money . Great video
Nice to see long beds.
Was so disappointed at the NEC I’m 6ft 1 & hardly any of the VW offerings had beds for taller people.
Meanwhile, celebrity reviewer spotting at Wetherby services 😉
When You testing the PHEV Transit Campervan with V2L 240 v 16 amp power take off 🤔

PHEV ability to power all appliances, frees up need for gas bottles etc , allowing space for cornflakes packets to be stored standing up 😏👍😂

Nice van but I can't see how it is more than £13,000 more than a panama p12 given that that van has automatic transmission as standard and an inverter
Price?
...this transit and the vw are the same van
I agree with your wife, seats are horrible colour, it's a nice enough vehicle design, but, with a few flaws.
Troublesome ford wet timming belt, stay well clear.
