It’s not every day you get to say goodbye to the same van twice! For years on the channel, you watched me drive, fix, and occasionally swear at my old twin sliding door VW T6 Kombi. After I sold it, I always wondered where it ended up. Well, today I tracked it down to West Wilts Campers, and it has undergone an unbelievable VW T6 camper conversion! In this video, I’m taking you on a full campervan tour to see how they transformed my empty metal box into a luxury off-grid home. The craziest part? The pro builder actually KEPT my DIY anthracite carpeting! We also take a look around the West Wilts workshop, check out a brand new VW T6.1 blank canvas getting ready for a premium build, and I completely roast a classic VW campervan. (Seriously, convince me why I should like it in the comments!) What’s Inside My Old Van’s New Build: Skyline pop top roof with scenic canvas M1 crash tested rock and roll bed (Adventure bed) Dometic two-burner hob & sink combo Unique campervan vinyl flooring Physical campervan control panel & clever storage solutions About the Builders: A huge shoutout to Jonathan and the lads at West Wilts Campers.

About This Video

For years you’ve watched me drive, fix, and often swear at my old twin sliding door VW T6 Kombi. After I sold it, I always wondered where it ended up—so in this video I tracked it down at West Wilts Campers to see what they’ve done with it, and honestly… it’s weirdly emotional saying goodbye to the same van twice. I give you a full tour of the conversion: Skyline pop-top with scenic canvas, a proper M1 crash-tested Adventure rock and roll bed, Dometic two-burner hob and sink combo, fridge with a freezer compartment, a physical button control panel, and some genuinely clever storage. The vinyl flooring surprised me as well—looks like twine at first glance but it isn’t—and I’m still chuffed they kept my DIY anthracite carpeting (Jonathan said it was good enough to stay, which I’ll take as a win). I also look around their workshop at a blank-canvas T6.1 getting a premium build, and I have a bit of a roast of a classic VW because that generation just never floated my boat. If you’ve ever sold a van and regretted it, you’ll get exactly why this one hit different.
