Vw Van Tour VW T5 Campervan

[@thomasjones3209]

Cracking video mate. Been toying with the idea of buying a T5 for a while and think you’ve just twisted my arm

[@dannystrange7202]

Brilliant. I’m new to it and your right about adding to it. It’s relentless 😅

[@CampervanAdventures]

Hi Danny,I’m after changing the front end next year to a T6.1 I haven’t done a video in along time,I keep meaning to…..I’m in the middle of getting an old 2002 Mercedes Vito back on the road,needed a lot of work,welding ect(done it all myself)it’s the father in laws he bought it just to go fishing in(Day van)so I probably should of made some on that lol thanks for the message by the way👍😉

[@dannystrange7202]

@@CampervanAdventures that will be a great watch mate as I’m also interested in doing the same to mine. Look forward to seeing the upgrade. Mercedes Vito I’ve seen a few conversations now they fit out quite nice and look comfortable. It’s great being handy saves a load of cash and it’s rewarding. All the best pal 👍

[@CampervanAdventures]

I changed the vans front end from a T5 to T5.1 about 6 years ago but after giving it a newer look and either a spray job or wrap.But I will deffo do a video on it all👍😉

Your van has more lights than Blackpool tower😂..........I like the ones under the seat!

[@CampervanAdventures]

Hi thanks for the reply,I’ve not done a video in along time and the van has undergone some big changes…..it’s now got a T6.1 front end,and a T6.1 rear tailgate.I wish I’d done videos on me fitting it all…….if anyone would like me to do a video on the changes just let me know👍😉

You can never have to many lights,it can get very dark on them campsite’s lolol……

[@jamesteanby1645]

did you have to modify the rear spoiler to fit a t5 as they don't make it one for it

[@CampervanAdventures]

Hi thanks for your comment…..yes I had to modify the rear spoiler to fit(there made for the T6 tailgate normally)it’s an ABT style one👍

[@jamesteanby1645]

how does it fit ?

[@CampervanAdventures]

@@jamesteanby1645 you need to cut the spoiler in half(not for the faint hearted that part lol)then at the ends you’ve just cut,you need to extend them by about 20mm or so,so the spoiler has the ends you’ve just cut finished off…..then when you come to fitting it to the van I used tiger seal,I also used rivet nuts in the spoiler and bolted it to the van instead of screws(so it’s on there solid)but I don’t think bonding alone will be strong enough!Having said that I did use tiger seal,and that’s a good panel bonding sealant.Thing is I’m a person that will have ago at anything,it works great….if not try again until it does lololol.Good luck,more so the point don’t be afraid to try😉

[@CampervanAdventures]

I’ve done everything to the van myself,it was just a panel van when I bought it……the only thing I didn’t do was the poptop but deep down I wish I had done it

[@garethsmith5726]

Nice van, can you tell me where the rear spoiler and the bike carrier came from ?

[@CampervanAdventures]

Hi Gareth thanks for the comment,the rear spoiler is an ABT style one I bought it from a company in Poland some time ago.It’s made for the Vw T6 originally,(tailgate,not barndoor)so I had to first cut it in half and mod a fare bit to get it to fit.if I can find the name of the company that I got it from I’ll post it up to you…..as for the bike carrier;it’s a double fiamma bike carrier I bought it off ebay(only paid about £60 for it,was originally silver)but I wanted a black one but if you want a black one from fiamma it will set you back about £330 new!……I just sprayed mine black,if there’s anything you’d like me to cover in a video or something you’d like to see in a future video just leave a comment mate……and if your not a subscriber please think about subscribing as I’ve got more videos lined up but I also want feedback from people like yourself on future videos.Thanks again for your comment Gareth stay safe👍
