There is another option that has come up, a 2010 LWB T5 Tdi 2 manual 270000 km for $10000
I think that the 2010 model has a timing chain and not belt.
It is in a very good condition and with log...

Thank you,

I was looking at them because here in Tasmania we must have a heater. The heaters and the HWS are very expensive.
A Genisis HWS cost $1800, a portable gas heater cost less than $300.
The stoves are...

I would do that.
The storage box will be only as storage of the bottle. There will be not lines inside the camper. We cook outside on a kitchen pod and also will use the gas for a portable HWS.

I agree with you regarding the isolated storage box on a RV like this one (DIY Motorhome Showers), I fitted one in my old Mazda T3500.
I just was wonder why the converters of small vans are not...

Have noticed that many of the VW transporter camper van conversion companies are using methylated spirit, diesel or portable butane stoves.

Thank you all again for the very informative posts.

The problem with many of the auto transmissions is the the box "supposed" to be maintenance free and that it is not the case.

I would like to source a manual van and keep out of the automatic ones. Is VW using ZF auto gearbox?

Thank you Sunny43.5, I drive about 15000 a year in Tasmania where the distances are short. I do not care much at my age about speed but yes I like reliability and simple to fix.
I will investigate...

Thank you for your inputs.
If the 2.5 Tdi is as reliable as the LR Tdi (4 cyl) then I can live with it.Some times the injection pump can be calibrated o improve performance. I do not know if that it...

Thank you for your reply, so the 2.5 petrol looks like that will be the way to go if I do not want to have complicated and expensive issues?
I read a bit about the new turbo 2.5 engines and appears...

Hello you all.
I am looking to start a new project based on a LWB transporter 4 or 5 model with high roof if it is possible.
The projest will be to convert it to a camper.
I would appreciate your...

Thank you MCiN7 for your input, after doing some research about auto gearboxes in new european cars I will go for a manual.
I read the same dramas with auto on the Peugeot 407 and BMW cars.

Thank you marquee for your inputs.
