The van was finished early in 2016.
We spent heaps on it... but if you're going to use it it's worth it!
It's been to the Lakes, Dartmoor, Exmoor, Beacons, Alps etc etc.
It certainly is a more economical version than the old T5. One trip up the Lakes at 70mph on the motorway saw it average 43 mpg. But it's not as 'pokey' as the 5 cylinder engine in the old one. The 'bluemotion' mapping means it's harder to accelerate from a stop, but the 140bhp gets it up the hills well. Being newer, its much smoother and quieter generally.
Cruise control and air con is essential on those long journeys.
In this version we have a back cooker and sink accessible from under the rear tailgate.
We have the same 2x single bed configuration with front seats on a turntable.
Table goes up on drivers side
SCA pop-top gives good headroom when parked up...
And a double bed upstairs
And we decided on a compressor fridge that runs off the leisure battery.
Love it. Why doesn't everyone have one?
