I cannot endorse the Sven highly enough when you're ready for the change. Although I appreciate the Hymer is also a very compelling argument too.It'll be a Sven Hedin or a Sprinter based Hymer before I allow a Sharavan on my driveway.
They’ll be sure to leak give there are knowledgable buyers who will set out to test the bellows with a hose strapped to a stepladder.No, they’ve been using the T6.1 as the test vehicle.
This knowledgeable buyer will just spray all the seams with Aquatex and go camping.They’ll be sure to leak give there are knowledgable buyers who will set out to test the bellows with a hose strapped to a stepladder.
YepOh, you mean a Conversion like the Marco Polo and other Westfalia offerings.
Weight is reduced but the "zulassig gesamtgewicht" (max payload) also...this is 2850 kg according to the configuratorOnly 110kW 2.0TDI and 150kW 2.0 TSI so far (which will probably consume so much fuel they haven't got the WLTP figures yet). Weight seems to be reduced by a lot though (around 2300kg).
You'll or they will need to read the relevant Forums to see the problems with those conversions and the to and fro between the vehicle manufacturers and the conversion companies.
I would have thought that is a very small number of potential extra sales maybe a handful a year & uk only.The ace card the T7 has over predecessors is the PHEV option. This will make it a feasible option for the company car buyer which not financially viable for diesel models. Perhaps VW is anticipating more sales in this area?
Depends on Diesel or Petrol config. But current T6.1 Oceans with 150 BHP are already lowered in list price, so you could be right about the 110k@Multi1100 probably more like 110k EUR after taxes in NL. My Ocean 204ps 4motion was less in 2022...
I'm curious how you arrived at such a high NL price? Looking only at VAT, removing the 19% for Germany and adding 21% for the Netherlands, €92500 becomes €94051 (according to my calculation at least).Worked my way through the configurator and chose the Ocean to compare it to our current T6 Ocean. Total cost Germany comes to 92.500 euro's...with the extra taxes in The Netherlands I guess it will be 120.000 or more...thanks a lot of extra cash and not so much difference with our current configuration, only more modern and more (to fail) electronics...(based on T6.1 issues)

We in The Netherlands have (unfortunately) an extra tax called BPM which can be somewhere between 25-30% of the price including dutch VAT, so that might be an extra 20-30 K.I'm curious how you arrived at such a high NL price?

because there is no storage space anymore to carry more weightWeight is reduced but the "zulassig gesamtgewicht" (max payload) also...this is 2850 kg according to the configurator
It isn’t just the extra length and width, it’s the combination of that with less space on the inside.Drives like a people carrier, but better than a van. Compromise is the extra length with less internal space.
Our Joker is LWB, and parking length has never been an issue (only height)…so the wouldn’t get worried about the multivan’s length.
That’s the question right there.Anyone know when the configurator will go live in the UK.
According to Wikipedia, No, they are all VAG Engines, same platform and engines as Caddy, so is a Caddy a viable alternative?Has it the ford wet engine?
Well its available as a PHEV for one, but they are completely different animals. The internal height especially when the bed is deployed is very restrictive. No option for an inbuilt cabin area kitchen either. The Caddy has too many compromises even compared to the Sharavan.So if the multivan is the same platform as a Caddy, and a Caddy Maxi California is £46K new and a poptop roof is £4K, the multivan cailfornia needs to be something very very special
