VW T6 Transporter
It’s a bit of a wrench but I’m selling my current pride and joy, a recently converted 2019 (69) induin grey VW T6 highline. I have been converting vans to campers for a while now and whilst learning the techniques and technicalities on each conversion I’ve also developed my styling and preferences to land on this Scandi inspired minimalist design, with a balance between clean natural aesthetics and practical camping features. As a professional carpenter I’ve loved using current design trends to create a relaxing and inviting interior space which also includes large amounts of storage and multi-functional elements.
The Mechanics
– I purchased the van from Glasgow after much searching for the correct base van for my build. The van was previously owned by a guy who used it for the fly fishing season and is in immaculate condition
– The van has covered 37,867 miles with full service history and has just had its first MOT
– The exterior styling updates have consisted of primarily subtle changes, which maintain much of the original styling with an understated overall look.
She is finished in Induin grey with all of the standard highline features including:
– Colour infotainment system with 6.5-inch touchscreen as standard which has inbuilt DAB radio, Bluetooth and Two USB connection

– App-Connect compatible with Android and Apple phones giving hands free calls etc
– Alarm system fitted as standard
– Air-conditioning

– Heated door mirrors, electric adjustment from inside the cab
– Power steering
– Steering wheel adjustment (reach and rake so it can go up, down, forwards, backwards towards driver)
– Steering wheel comes with a hard-wearing leather rim
– Body-coloured bumpers, door mirrors and door handles
– Adaptive speed limiter cruise control
– Headlights and wipers with automatic setting
– Heated windscreen for cold starts
– Electric, heated and folding door mirrors
– Parking sensors
The Interior
I had a clear vision for this van from the outset and wanted to create a unique interior that looked fresh and modern whilst also having lots of space for all your camping gear. This 2019 van started out as an empty shell allowing me to design the build to my exact specifications.
The build process included:
– Installing Camperglass windows throughout
– ‘Wheat’ coloured carpeting covers all internal bodywork
– Using sound deadening sheets and insulating the sidewalls, roof, barn doors and floor with Kiravans thermo acoustic foam.
– Installing a grey textured rubber flooring, which offers extra sound deadening as well as being comfy underfoot.
– Choosing birch for the entirety of the wood interior. Cladding the roof space in a slatted design. The walls offering cut out sections for storage as well as keeping the visuals for the builds continuation of birch.
– Installing LED lighting within the top of the wall plinth creating ambient warm light. These run the length of the plinth and are controlled independently with a light switch
– Installing a Victron energy split charge system and leisure battery, which offers USB charging points and 12v charging/lighting. (all supplied from Rayne Automotive)
Camping and Storage features:
– ‘U’ shaped Seating bench, which converts to standard size double bed using a pull out interlocking design. Upholstery is all brand new, created with fire retardant fabric and foam.
– Pull out tray under the rear seating bench for storage and use as a kitchen worktop/stove area. This simple but effective design means you can setup as a sheltered kitchen area under the open rear barn door canopy. The rear cupboard offers storage of all your food and kitchen items.
– Seating bench’s includes a pull down locker style cupboard offering three main storage compartments. There is also the main cabinet behind the driver side which houses a Yeti cooler, drawer system and main cupboard. The sliding door side of the ‘U’ shaped seating has a large internal drawer that pulls out allowing for easy access items.
The design of this van interior is the culmination of many years of professional finishing carpentry combined with a love of VW campers and the outdoors. It is completely unique and each element has been handmade to a high specification with quality long-lasting materials.
