I bought a VW Transporter T6 Kombi Highline van 140bhp diesel SWB with tailgate.
Slowly turning it into a stealth camper van / day van with bed. I will also need something for cooking, cooling, sleeping, drinking ?? Choices to be made.
I have lots more to do though, I have a new electrical system, using Victron components and a Lithium LIFEPO4 battery, so I obviously need to install some power devices. I have a new sound system, with Focal speakers and ibus 2.1 amp, Playstation PS4, which will be removable, TV's on headrests.
Lots for me to look forward too and it would be nice to take you on the journey.
Please do let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions.
Vanlife for me is just beginning, it's a great adventure and I'm loving it. 😍
There are many great camper adventures to come camping in my tiny house.

Good sound advice we all need reminding now and then of the subjects covered in this video when buying any type of vehicle. Cheers.

[@StaycationLifestyle]

Reminding, that’s absolutely right. A lot of people will already know this, but if it saves a newbie from a potential disaster, then I have achieved 👍

[@paulvasey1206]

AA vehicle check turned out to be some the best money I’ve ever spent, completely outed a car full of issues. Can’t recommend enough. 👍

[@StaycationLifestyle]

Great result. Saved yourself a fortune. Definitely money saved, rather than money spent 👍

Hi, I bought a t5 and all the time it was ticking over and on a test drive it was fine, I drove 30 miles then it went into the red, it went down after a short stop but continued to do this, when I tried to return the van I was told sorry it was sold as seen and you tested it out, they said it must have just occurred but on checking out all of the paperwork it had lots of bits replaced for the cooling system, but hay we live and learn

[@adambailey2013]

Will I be alright buying from a vw dealership please mate or still cautious?

[@StaycationLifestyle]

Buying from a VW main dealer you should be ok regarding the base van itself. They will carry out various checks 👍🏼
