Hi all.
Just wondering how many VW Camper owners were on here. Most of the guys on here own lovely new warm motorhomes lol.
Just in the middle of insulating mine.
 
Hello!:wave: we are and we love Vernon! :drive::cool1::wacko::dog: - and so do the boys (woof! woof!)
 
Yeah love my vw t5 insulated and diesel heater fitted was lovely
And toasty in the alps last month

We love our California, named "Epona," seen here in the Italian Alps. We sleep "upstairs" and the dog has the bench seat. She's nippy and can fit into a car parking space, and has absolutely everything we need - fridge, cooker, heater, water and waste-water tanks and even a porta-loo, the best vehicle we've ever had.

Wouldn't have a motor-home even if you gave us one free!
 
My parents bought this 1972 model Kombi in Cape Town in 1976. It was left-hand-drive and allegedly driven overland from Germany by newlyweds and then sold to the this chap after their honeymoon was over. I spent most of my childhood travelling in the bus all over southern Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe etc.

Dad got a caravan and I inherited the Kombi. I got really sick of the left-hand-drive and so bought a locally made bus with all the right hand drive gear to make a few mods and do a bit of a resto. Rain through a damaged skylight had ruined some of the cupboards and upholstery.

It ended up being easier to chop up the two buses to do the right-hand-drive conversion. I'm over 5 years into the restoration and hope to be back on the road before December this year.

Vw campervans

Just counting the days till we get ours :banana:
 
I owned VW aircooled campers for many years , had some great times probably the best times , if it was not for the fuel consumption I would probably still have my 2 litre van , a VW camper can be just as warm and cosy as any other van and a lot more fun , is that your project and did you finish it , Chris.
 
Another one here. '91 Westy.

Trifling inconvenience of not having an engine at the moment, which is making any kind of camping a bit awkward.
 
T4

Hi,
I have one as well, mine is a Richard Holdsworth Vista, 1996, 2.5D.
I have spent a lot on it over the 4 yrs I've had her, £3450.01p last year on recon engine new clutch etc. We only use her in this country as I cant drive to far these days, in fact I think my camping days are coming to a end :-(
Hope to get at least one trip out soon (Scotland) before I give up.
Hope you have many a great trip out in yours.

:camper:
 
newbie on here but a recent VW T5 owner, semi converted (but not good)
Work in progress to strip and insulate, and get it how I want it

T5 hi roof

Been wilding in T5 in UK and EU for last 9 years. Until 2012 was in a pop top but now have a self build 174.
 
hi there, I own a 1995 T4 I assume it is insulated but with all the windows and no heating it is a bit chilly. I have just done my first wild camping trip in the Surry Hills. Great fun. I bought a small halogen heater for when I have electric hook up and that is really warm and toasty. I don't mind the set up as I don't want to camp in the winter I would rather go somewhere really warm.​
 
T5

We have a T5 great bit of kit in use every day pluse you can just get up and go no parking problems in fact you can camp anywhere you just blend in we spend most ok our hol's in Europe this year we are on the road from mid May until end of June starting in Holland winding our way to Venice and then just keep heading south can't wait to get going.:fun:
 
Been there, done that, and might even return to one one day. Had a VW Caravelle, so flexible and towed a caravan for those extended holidays.

Hi T4

I love my T4 1996 we had a big long wheelbase ford MH but the vw caravelle is tons more fun and we tow a homemade micro caravan if we need more space for longer trips.
 
T4 all the way

We have a 98 2.5 T4 pop top ,has been all round the Highlands and Islands,France,Spain..
Off to Northern Ireland soon.
No heating,but gets to places larger vans can't🍻
 
I love my VW's and currently have a 1996 T4. We mix wild camping with staying on sites. Looking forward to a week in the Lakes followed by three weeks touring the West Coast of Scotland . We also try and get to a few VW shows over the summer.
This was wilding in the Brecon Beacons in February and last week in Betws Y Coed.image.jpg
