I do like Vanwork work, seems good quality. However one of the main reasons we ended up going for a California over a convert was that when the roof was down sitting in the back is tight and I found myself pinched over. I doe look as if the same rear headroom might be an issue.

It never ceases to amaze me. 57k for a small van with cabinets looking like they came straight out of a 1980s Westfalia, a basic pop top and harsh blue ambient ligthing. 20-year olds with some time on their hands and basic sense of aesthetics make things looking so much better than this with a fraction of resources these companies have.

Ok thanks. I'm about to purchase my first campervan! I have no idea which is best but I've always know VW is quality and the history. So looking around I couldn't understand the price spectrum. The range is £20k to £65k+. Its a big difference and to someone with no experience, it's seems like the VWT6 conversion companies are adding alot of 'value'. But because there are so many people that are doing it "conversions" (they must buy the same kit from the same wholesalers/because you can barely tell the differences between them ) after they leave the showrooms. I've seem some conversion retailers on ebay selling the same thing for £3.5k. This is reason VW can ask £75k+ for a California. And to be honest I would probably say it's worth it, especially when you think about the the price of a aftermarket "conversion". At Least I know what I'm getting and it's been well thought out and have the most up-to-date technology and interior.

@@SuperiorLondon Just to be clear, my original comment was specifically about the aesthetics you get for the price. Vanworx seems to have pretty solid builds (I have never driven one though so I don't know it for sure). Regarding the quality and history, I understand why the VW brand is appealing to potential customers, but remember that at the end of the day you're not buying a heritage but a piece of machinery and the image of VW's quality has faded a lot in the recent years. I've just spent three weeks in Norway in a converted Vauxhall Vivaro/Renault Trafic. The total cost (lease + conversion) was 33 654 GBP. That's less than half a price of Cali. It has a two burner stove, 100l fresh water tank (california: 30l), two solar panels (cali: none), a huge aux battery (never needed to use the power at the campground), a (heated!) external shower, a bed big enough to fit 3 grown ups in case of emergency (checked it) and enough storage space to fit an inflatable kayak and supplies for 3 people for three weeks. I've seen countless Californias, usually with A LOT of stuff piled inside the car and with additional storage outside of it. They have their issues (breaking cabinet door, rust on the pop-top subframe). So if you know why people buy them, please tell me ;) As you've already noticed, the (VW) conversion companies often only assemble a set of accessories available on the market. There isn'tmuch variety in interior layout or functionality. The devil is in the details, especially in the quality of the electrical installations and plumbing. Find a conversion company that does those two things well and is within your budget and go for it.

Nice van, great review. Now for the real world, would you ever sleep in your kitchen? You know when you go and get a Mac Donald’s or KFC in your car, then go to get in your car the following morning and it stinks of stale food? Yep just one season of proper cooking in your van and it will smell like a kebab shop, next up is the sink, I guarantee you will spill water inside your van, which in turn will eventually cause you issues! Now the pop top, trust me most campsites are often rowdy places, the pop top allows that noise in, keep your tin top if you don’t need the extra bunk, which is also a pain when your kids need a wee in the night and you all have to wake up to help them down. So what’s the answer ? An awning and camping set up, all stores nicely in the van, with a little pull out table from the rear of the van for your cooking bits when only going on short trips where it’s to much hassle to put up the awning. Trust me when you spend Upton £60k on a stunning van you don’t want it ruined by fat splashes, food smells or mould from water spills! Your Welcome 😉

So it has been less enjoyable when every time you touch a cupboard door you say loads of storage here, let's check out the size of the bed...etc. basically everything's perfect) without comparison with the Cali or being a little bit critical on the thing you are assessing, which you used to do in the older videos.

VW has lost the plot which started with the T4 Cali and got worse with the T5 onwards, some of which this conversion and others has resolved. I have a 2000 T4 Cali there the major changes happens, 400mm shorter living space, with bed forward in sleeping position you can’t open the rear kitchen door which is why the T5> has flimsy sliding doors. Multi function display above the dash, this really bugs me, can’t control the night heater with out getting out of bed No small storage shelf above the kitchen, it’s a crappy VW plastic bulbous panel with a light, basically an empty box, it does have heater controls for the aux heater, which only works with engine so not much use for sleeping. I know most of this applies to a T4 but you get my point, this conversion reviewed makes the camper a little more livable with less bling disregarding the crappy VW bling and stupid wheels. So why do I stick to the T4 Cali, the T4 is like a cockroach, you can’t kill it, abuse it an it just keeps going, the Westfalia camping gear is robust and durable everything just works, the fridge would be better in summer if VW had bothered to install sufficient insulation on the side panel, or maybe Westfalia fitted a cooling fan for the condenser Best of all minimal electronics. I could buy a late T5 or early T6 Cali if I wanted, but why have a very expensive inferior product on a van designed to a price to maximize profit. Was looking at a Reimo conversion in Germany recently, still the classic layout but well made.

I'd really design a dining room first and squeeze kitchen equipment around it rather than design a kitchen and squeeze a dining room around that. Why is it so common to have three quarter swivel driver seats? I don't understand. Leg room while sucking a beer has to trump elbow room while frying an egg. No?

Its alright, but nothing new or that special. You'd think for a T6.5 top of the range it'd have a better interior. Not being rude but it looks like its spec'd through ebay!! When are we going to see some fresh ideas??

I don’t really understand the ‘fashion’ of making all these vw camper vans so cold and clinical inside and then doing the same thing with the video editing, color grading it so blue, cold and harsh. Makes it look the opposite of cosy

I’ve always enjoyed your videos and reviews. You both have a natural ability to present and engage the audience well. Unfortunately though, I have to echo the comments of others, as most of your content of late has the feel of advertorials and not impartial reviews. All credit to you for generating income in this way but I no longer trust or value the opinions you impart as there is always the suspicion that you will say whatever your sponsor requests. I’m familiar with Vanworx conversions as they were on our shortlist a few years ago. They are good but nowhere near as good as the video would have the audience believe. Certainly when compared to conversions from Ecowagon, Exploria, NewWave, Reimo cmc & Three Bridge to name but a few. If the presenter (as in this case) is a California owner, then you know most of the platitudes are slightly disingenuous. I wish you both the very best with your upcoming addition but sadly it’s time to unsubscribe and move to less commercialised content. Take care.

It looks as though you’ve checked out a lot of different van conversions. There’s nothing stopping you creating a KZbin channel to show us all the differences between them all. This video is not sponsored, we genuinely like the van.

Thanks for adding this commet Jon, particularly for listing all the other conversion companies. We’re on the market now and after checking out Three Bridges and New Wave, I have to admit, the interior of this VanWorx Slipper is about as exciting as ditch water.

Where would one take a shower or use the toilet if staying off grid? Imo the vw t5/t6/t6.1 is for people who struggle to control a bigger vehicle, way over priced and bummed so much, haters don't hate on me this is just my oppinion

I mean, it's okay, but it's hardly all that great. It kinda looks a bit tacky, like a lot of conversions. It's as if middle-aged men are the only designers. Who wants neon blue 'mood' lighting. It's grim. Sorry, it looks nasty, and the kind of thing creepy men go around in. It certainly doesn't look premium, and I don't think it deserves as much praise as you've given it.
