Defo something I’m gona do in the near future, I’ve heard the most saleable are the transporters and return a higher yield in resale as every rich person that’s wants a camper wants a vw 

If your doing it for profit agree go vw but if you want a camper they are shite no room and over priced

That old Sierra would probably be worth enough money today to buy a camper van even more if it was a two door

I really like those stealth camper van things you see on YouTube.  Look practical and you can park them anywhere and not get much bother by the look of it.

In France you might get away with it in the sticks, but in towns the gendarmes and parking officials will spot them. It is the fridge vents that give it away. I would imagine it will be the same in the UK.

The VWs are a fashion item. Most of the professionally done PVCs are based on the Citron / Peugeot panel vans. The best thing would be to look at the photos of the interiors of those that are advertised and compare. Just a few centimetres of width makes a great deal of difference in what you can fit in and what you can't.

Also, look at how boats are furnished and equipped as the boat builders are masters of squeezing a lot into small spaces.

That’s because it’s another pile of Euro shite, a mate bought one from new, had 3 new Ecu,s whilst it was still under warranty and scrapped as soon as the warranty ran out, even the new transits now run a french engine, 5 year life disposable motors

From the outside, it looks like it should be parked on a verge, catching speeding motorists.
