Hi, I have a 2010 T5 which I have converted to Camper van. Still need a little more work to finish. Hoping to move up to later California at some point. Still have a lot to learn,Graham.
Started life as Box van. Much work done since. Pop top fitted. Glass all round. Rock and roll bed which I motorized for convenience. Kitchen units are Ikea Metod 600mm high bases with integrated fridge, 2 ring induction hob and sink with hot and cold water. wheels are 18" Wolfrace Euro.

Hi Sad, It was down to cost. Bought it from a friend at three years old with 60000 miles on the clock for £7000. I have spent about £5000 on the conversion. I had to take photos at every stage to send to DVLA to have it re-classified as Motor caravan. Would have preferred long wheelbase to accommodate toilet. Thanks for welcome.Guess it has only one sliding door ?
Why did'nt you start off from a LWB ?
Sounds incredible and looks lovely. Motorised bed is certainly better than the CaliStarted life as Box van. Much work done since. Pop top fitted. Glass all round.
