WARNING ⚠️ Before Buying A New VW Transporter Camper Van - WATCH THIS
Don't be fooled by these vans on the market - they're not always the "Top of the Range " "High Spec" "Ultimate Van" "Top Quality" “Amazing Camper” you are lead to believe!

In this video, we're sharing a WARNING before you buy a new camper van. Before you take the plunge, make sure to watch this video to give you a few pointers regarding what you should be looking for.

When it comes to buying a new van, there's a lot to think about. But before you buy, watch this video to make sure you're making the right decision. It's important you are aware of what the van is.

I am not saying do not buy a lower spec Startline or a 5 speed manual. I am demonstrating the fact that these can often be advertised as "High Spec" and they are not.
My example shows the difference in spec between 2 conversion companies van, one of which being genuinely high spec and actually the same price as a low spec van.

Whether you buy a Startline, Highline, Manual or DSG, Rock N Roll or RIB, Cheap units or expensive kitchen units, Scenic poptop or not.
IT DOESNT MATTER what the spec is. Everyone has a different budget and different tastes. The point is buyers need to understand what they are buying and things to look for when comparing vans. Some owners prefer components which aren't deemed to be the best. It can be argued that a van needs 20inch wheels to look the best, however i wouldn't want these big alloy wheels for practicality reasons.
As shown in the video, a shiny fancy looking van doesn't mean its actually better. I will be highlighting this point in a video soon.

If you are a beginner buying for the first time or just on the lookout for a new campervan, this could help you.

It's important to research. There are alot of additional variables over buying a car

I bought a VW Transporter T6 Kombi Highline van 140bhp diesel SWB with tailgate.

Slowly turning it into a camper van / day van with bed. I will also need something for cooking, cooling, sleeping, drinking ?? Choices to be made.

I have lots more to do though, I have a new electrical system, using Victron components and a Lithium LIFEPO4 battery, so I obviously need to install some power devices. I have a new sound system, with Focal speakers and ibus 2.1 amp, Playstation PS4, which will be removable, TV's on headrests.

Lots for me to look forward too and it would be nice to take you on the journey.

Please do let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions.
Vanlife for me is just beginning, it's a great adventure and I'm loving it. 😍
