    I ordered a revena blue with a tail gate just because I preferred the look of it .

    I have had both, barn door for me, how many times have I been out and about and someone has parked too close that I can’t open the tailgate 😡 specially on LWB. Also packing up barn door so much easier. Tail gate offers no protection from rain if there is any kind of wind (nearly all the time) only thing you have to be carful of with barn door is using your hip to close the door (you will dent the thin skin) by choice I wouldn’t have a window in the rear or the back quarters, insulate and carpet makes for much nicer sleeping pod. Also when you are looking out to see (which in fairness is not going to be very often) barn doors offer protection from the wind. Barn doors so much more practical, so much so I am thinking of changing my van back to a barn door one, just for that reason !

      Barn door for commercial.. Can't get a forklift with a pallet of 8x4 sheets near when you've got a tailgate

      @@clivemillington8452 why so rude? Hadn't meant to reply to your comment.. Meant to comment on the vid in general. These vans are SHITE campers anyway. Far too small. OK as a day van but wouldn't want to cook in one

    not to mention on the t6 for the tailgate they restyled the taillights. That, by itself is a big thing for me.

    Tailgate everytime!! Looks so much cleaner. Don't like the offset bits on the double doors, the ugly exposed hinges, the shape of the window, the shape of the rear bumper and the worst thing for me is the split spoiler 🤢

      Like we said in the video, it's often all about personal choice 👍

    Honestly I'm gonna buy the best van for the money. By the time you want automatic, low mileage, tailgate, specific colour etc, you will NOT find a van within a budget. I'd rather not pay a premium and go for a van within my budget so I can go camping ☺

      Regrettably no, you have to change the whole van!

      Unfortunately not, only by swapping the van itself.

    • @appelflapdrol

      Definitely possible. But only if you DIY because labour costs will probably be as high as half a van 😅 re-routing wiring, locks, latches, brackets, painting parts of the chassis etc
