well sold the tiggy on saturday,and bought a vdub t28 camper van.
Very Very nice bud, love the T5 styling they are so much more then a van.
Hate eto think what it cost you though :o
Camping n00b
Bloody hell, did you win the lottery Greg?! ;) Only a couple of years old as well. Very nice. Somebody had a blue one for sale down this way a while ago, can't exactly remember how old it was or how many miles it had done but it was possibly around 80k and maybe 2005-6 build, and they still wanted nigh on 25k for it! ??? Same as the Transporters, eminently practical and useful vehicles but soooooo much money!
well chaps it started off as a bog standard panel van,and was converted professionally,saw it for sale on a facebook forum for t5's laid a deposit down,and set off a week later to Lancashire was a bit worried as i dont have a passport and never been that far north :D.still got the remainder of manufacturers warranty on it until next august ;D and its only got 23500 miles on her,and 1 years warranty on the conversion.
we bought the tiggy off motorbility and the dealers gave me Ã,£3.5k more then what we paid for it,now i call that a RESULT.the tiggy was far to small for me,the smax was like a tardis could swallow everything,but the golf based suv was tiny in comparison.
as for camping,YEPP.we did have a trailer tent,ancient thing and took us about 2 hrs to set it up.but with this we have a touch of luxury and its a decent size van to boot.
as for winning the lottery,nah just spending the kids inheritance LOL
Enjoy your new wagon! Do you do a lot of camping then? It sure would've been nice to have had something like that when heading up to the far north of Scotland, the number of times we thought the tent was either going to get blown away or flattened by the Scottish gales!
not yet but its something that does seem appeasing to us,we have 3 kids the eldest 2 are nearly 21 and 18 and dont really want to do anything with us,they can stay at home and look after the cats and dogs.so it leaves the youngest at 14 to have to worry about,would be nice if we could just get away once in a while but as the youngest is autistic that looks very slim.
Snap! Wonderfull machines:)
Wish I had all the extras yours has now however!

wow that looks a clean machine tommy,any pointers m8 for when we do go away.notice you have an awning fitted to yours,thats something i would like to look into.any must haves?rather then get there and realize its too late lol.
cute doggie.
hey, well spotted! shes in full camo mode lmao.
Some awnings wont fit if you have a pop up roof on your camper, we got ours from http://www.justkampers.com/vw-t5-parts/accessories-tools/fiamma-awnings-roof-racks/fiamma-f45s-260m-titanium-delux-grey-with-jk-adapter-vw-t5-swb-transporter-rhd.html
you have to modify a few bits because of the roof but if I can do it anyone can!
