VW T6 Conversion
Volkswagen Transporter T5,T6 and T6.1
Why Choose the VW Transporter?
Few vans carry as much heritage as the VW Transporter. From its roots in 1950s counterculture to the modern T6.1, it has become synonymous with the campervan lifestyle — and for good reason.
The Transporter's build quality is exceptional. It has a solid feel on the road and a refined interior that makes it feel more like a premium vehicle than a workhorse van. Its compact footprint — shorter and narrower than rivals like the Sprinter or Crafter — makes it genuinely easy to live with day-to-day. It slips into a standard parking space, handles like a large car, and doesn't draw unwanted attention on quiet country lanes.
Reliability is strong and resale value is among the best in class, making it as much a lifestyle choice as a sound investment.
A converted Transporter holds its value remarkably well, and if you want a campervan that's as happy on a weekend surf trip as it is parked outside the office on a Monday morning, the VW Transporter is the benchmark everything else is measured against.
The VW T5, T6 and T6.1 are best suited to our Harlyn conversions.
The conversion space is largely unchanged since the launch of the VW T4 in 1990, that's over three decades of campervan product development.
Van Conversion Space
The Transporter's interior is surprisingly well-proportioned for a comfortable two-berth build, and that quality carries through beautifully into a conversion.
The huge aftermarket support is a major advantage from pop top roofs to sliding rock-and-roll beds, almost everything has been designed, refined, and perfected for the T5 and T6 platform. Converting a Transporter is a well-trodden path.
The versatility of products available for the VW Transporter means it can be converted into a very comfortable two-berth, equipped with everything you need for both short breaks and extended trips. With the addition of a pop top roof bed and extra belted seats in the rear, it can also work as a four-berth, a true Swiss Army knife of a conversion.
