- Full disclaimer, I love this van. In fact I think this is my favourite set up EVER! If there are just two people or maybe two and a couple of dogs, this layout works so well!

Love the lay out so much I’m picking a u shaped layout from Van Furniture soon. Can’t wait. My kids are a bit older now, so I agree with you, it’s the best way to go. Great work as always
Best camper conversion I've seen by now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you 🙌
Defenately missing the pop up ceiling 😏 and not having the possibility to load bags and longer things from the back is also not functional …. But that s a personal choice or need . Otherwise well done 👍
@@alessandroizzo2366not an issue for two persons as was mentioned at the beginning.
The attention to detail in and on this van is fantastic - I'm not surprised it's your favourite - well done!
Thank you :)
Absolutely awesome, T. HQ nailed it...
Thank you 🙌 we’ve very pleased with the outcome ❤️
very street robust cool looks to this van...and great practical inside..classily elevated with that star-o rama ceiling.
Thank you. This was 2 years ago but it's still my favour camper lay out
Makes a refreshing change to see alternative ideas as opposed to going down the same old safe Roch n Roll bed set up route. A U shaped layout offers maximum lounge ability. I had an IH motorhome with a rear u shaped lounge and you can't beat for comfort.
Yeah it's my favourite lay out for sure
Brilliant yes I love the clever simplicity of it
It works great doesn't it
A proper lounge is always the way to go if it's just two of you.
Yes i totally agree
Best one I’ve seen. Like to see what the shower option that was added.
Great looking van, love the tablet mount and the black, electric hook up location and the front blackout.
Yes both great additions and available on our website 😊
Ha....weve owned our camper for 4 months which has the standard set up now the funny thing is when we were looking our 11 yr old wanted a u shape set up like this but we dismissed the idea, but after seeing this, well, she was definatley on to something...oh well, the next one hey!!
That is amazing yes. Well done 👍🏆
This van is amazing love the colour
Best VW colour ever! Flannel grey.
Awesome build, super practical for a couple! Will Ferrell homage made it mate! 😎
Custom work is so hard to calculate, happens to us all the time with our builds but the finish matters and the ceiling is a beaut! Great work!
Thanks as always guys 🙏
Have to say never been a fan of U shape seating but this setup is stunning totally changed my opinion, fridge looks great, E-Grille brilliant idea the roof with halo and fiber just makes a stunning van great job!
Yeah it just really works. So pleased with the outcome.
Loveing the design on that ceiling. The little things are important! :)
Yeah that it’s a bit special
Great job.best conversion ever.a lot of thought...wow.
Thank you 🙏
Beautiful 👍
Love that set up. What are we looking at from a cost perspective for that set-up but without the sparkly ceiling. Best regards Paul
That's great, we be doing something simular in my next van 😁
Yeah still my favourite set up
Love this setup! Fitted the alpine matching under seat sub last weekend, highly recommend it!
That’s good to know. I can’t wait to hear it all set up with the sub.
I’ll drop you a line. This looks perfect for my particular needs
Beautifully designed and built but if I had to change one thing it would be the owner, I want it 😆👍, brilliant Van ,
😂😂😂
Nice 👌🏻
What a great setup. Fantastic job.
Yeah so please with how it came out. Thanks for your comment 🙏
Really nice I would need two/ three seats in back for my VW T6 Kombi like the lithium battery set up I would go for solar panel on roof. Leave out the hook up.
Look at clayton power LPS units. They'd be great for you.
Great van great video thanks for sharing 👍.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
This is a perfect van in my opinion.
I want to something similar but with a full rock and roll and probably not a cool as fu*k ceiling 😅
Just amazing setup!
It’s a great usable space. Defo how I’ll do my next one.
Nice, but: they look like one candle power headlights. Hopelessly dim. Go LED. I’d start with a window van, so much more natural light for when you are van bound due to the weather. It rains a lot in the UK. We have conventional seat/bed on rails. The flexibility that gives you in use of the vehicle can’t be under estimated.
The only thing I'd change is the cost lol
If only it was that easy 😂
How much would a rough cost be for this conversion?
Wheels link is dead. Was wondering where you got the Power Hub, only managed to find one place on the entire internet that stocks the 1500 and they're all sold out 😒 Great build, so sick. Nice work on the fibre optics, cous-cous approach is inspired! Proper job!
I think they’ve discontinued that hub but have up dated alternatives. Contact them, they’re super helpful www.portablepowertech.com/shop/product-category/portable-powerpacks/?gclid=CjwKCAiAv_KMBhAzEiwAs-rX1MeKdyqSpDSUOJAcyjynceY_d7V8lnD7YRV0pen2QvTqVuxlKbfVfxoCVE0QAvD_BwE

Lovely 👍
Thank you ☺️
If that was LWB it would be my perfect van.
Awesome isn’t it.
@@THQAutomotive yeah I’d daily a LWB when my current vehicle goes back 11mths and counting
Nice van. How much are we talking to get a van converted like this? Not really interested in luxury star lights, just somewhere to cook and sleep?
that headliner looks amazing with the stars the material and that seamless led strip , i want one 🤣 how much are those headliners
If we offered this services it would be thousands because of the materials and man hours. There are links below to buy the parts to do it yourself though. Hope this helps.
Superb build 👏 I do like the roof, where did you stash the larger of the led engines, looks like it'd be too big to fit above the headlining?
That's what I wanna know haha I had to stick mine in the side of the top panel
I didn't quite catch which model it is, and I don't have the time to rewatch to see. If you could just tell me which one it is, that's be greatly appreciated
What colour are the cushions in the back of the van
Who did this.....Id like it for mine, am offshore overseas with poor wifi not getting all details
Really like your last vid , you had a roof mount for a screen could you enlighten me to where I can get one 👍
Yeah search Rokk on the Transporter HQ websites.
Awesome van, what's the spec of wheels and tires, please?
That's an absolute beauty. So versatile 👌🏼. Where is the LED strip from for the halo effect please?
Leicester LED lighting.
Great set up. I've got the same layout on my lwb t5. I can't understand why everyone goes for the standard rock and roll bed layout.
I understand if people need the seat belts. Also many people don't know about this layout.
@@THQAutomotive good point about the seat belts. Keep up the good work mate.
Hi, I’m looking to fit the halo roof from Plyworx and I’m trying to decide on lighting and I was wondering if you could answer a couple of questions for me please?
What is the maximum depth the small lights can be in the halo (connected to door switch)?
Would the light from the halo strip be sufficient enough to be the only lighting in a camper set up?
Thanks in advance and thanks for the great videos.
Hi guys can I ask what flooring that is looks great 👍
It's from Van Furniture.
Hi love the van iam just about to order a u shape set up what I would like to know from you guys is what is the colour of the cushions in the van and how long is the waiting time for your hq fridge many thanks
Awesome looking van.
How good are the Alpicool R50 fridges compared to the likenof the CRX50 etc??
Really nice looking van guys.. on what kind of suspension is he sitting on?
Where's the sink
That head lining is stunning. Great work chaps!
Yeah, 100% doing it in my own van next 😝
Hey, looks great! Love the e-grille, do you know if this is compatible with having laser lights?
Yeah it should be.
Where did you guys get the solid led lighting for the halo? Looks incredible
Amazon
What is the name of the colour? It is fantastic.
Flannel grey. It's a special order genuine VW colour that comes on the startline model only
@@THQAutomotive Brilliant. Thank you!
Love the van just about to attempt the roof lining quick question where did you put all the controllers for the fibre optic lights
Hello, its all behind the headlining, you can put them in the red quarter panel.
Hi guys, you have prob been asked this so much so apologies, I'm looking to purchase these wheels for my 6.1, I like the swamper look, but was wondering how much this was lowered and the tyres sizes please, like the swamper lowered look, but still want the practicality of the larger tyres and some clearance ....thanks in advance
Hello, 225/65/17 if you are dropping fairly low on coilovers. If you are doing a standard coilover drop so around 70mm ish, you can go 235/65/17
Have they discontinued the 1500 power hub? I can only see a 1300 and 2500
Yes I believe so. These are fairly old tech now. Have a look at the Clayton power units on our website.
Thanks will do
wow stunning is that floor one-piece or two
It’s a piece. Looks so good doesn’t it.
How are the strip lights powered and where have you hidden the wires?
In the roof.
I love that fridge, what make is it?
Its a new fridge we've been working on. They arrive in 3 weeks.
Great build loved the ehu behind the vw badge, do you supply for Vauxahll vivaro 2008
No sorry, we only do them for Transporter T6 and T6.1
@@THQAutomotive thats a shame, but thank you for your reply
Amazing work, what size fridge have you used? 40L or 50L?
This is the THQ 50 fridge we sell. Great bit of kit. Especially that the doors open both ways
Good job! Do you have a link to Ipad mount please?
Yes here 👉 transporterhq.co.uk/vw-transporter-parts-styling-accessories/mobile-media-accessories/rokk-mini-universal-tablet-mount-kit-with-screw-down-base/
Would it be possible to have the rear seating/ bed system but with the option for rear travel seating ? Love the idea of this van but actually would need to be able to carry passenger as well also do you guys supply vans and fit ?
No not currently
Great looking van. I have a question though, is there any solution to integrate those ugly awnings in to the body of the van? I never saw a clever solution for that…
Hello, no there isn't any that I'm aware of.
@@THQAutomotive check the new camper van from La Strada. It’s the La Strada Nova EB from 2023, they solved the issue of awning integration
What size/model of LED did you use for the 10 lights in the halo rim? They are exactly what I'm looking for. Been on your website, but can't figure out which ones to buy. Can you post a link please so I can order them with the other things I need? Thx
They were from before we sold LED's. I think we just something off eBay
@@THQAutomotive Fair enough, can you tell me what size they are?
@@kennywallace1 I'm really sorry, I just can't remember. It was so long ago
@@THQAutomotive Okaydoke, thanks for taking the time to respond.
Hey guys. Awesome can curious to know how much a fit out like this would cost? Thanks
I honestly don't know. I didn't track the costs as we did it. We don't do customers works so I don't know what a conversion company would charge.
Joli
Nice tour and video. What was the cost of the van before ... and after all the mods mentioned?
I don’t actually know, I didn’t add it up as we went along. We just set out to build exactly what was desired.
Love this - really smart, very OEM+, and the direction we'd like to take ours....are the halo lights (& spotlights) a Jeff Bezos item too?
The links to some bits are in the text below. The halo is from Plyworx, the strip LED’s are from Leicester LED lighting, the mini down light LED’s are from Rayne Automotive.
How much did the beast cost!!???
It's not my place to say, sorry :)
Sorry for what may be a silly question. With this layout can children travel safely in the back? Stunning build by the way. Exactly what we are looking for with the full width bed. Anyone can rough it lol.
Hello, no sorry there are no belts
Hi hope you can help. Just got 17 plate startline t6 62kw engine. Instrument cluster is the basic 2 dial just rev and speedo. There is no glow plug light. Starts fine but no light. Not many dash lights as very basic. Was wondering if you knew if this normal. Hope u can help.
Do you maybe have a link for that tablet mount?

Thank you 😊🙌
Can you tell me where to get that iPad holder ?.
Many thanks

Looks class, how much would that set up cost if I provide the van?
It’s not a service we can offer. We don’t actually do customers conversions. Speak to van furniture, they’d be able to point you in the direct of one of their dealers.
Any water onboard to wash up?
Not in this set up. We may do something similar soon and fit a under fitted water tank.
Have you run the deisel heater from the lithium battery?
Yes we did
Trying to work out what to do about vans and this is great! Do you only do the parts or the conversion as well? :-)
We don’t do customers conversions anymore. Speak to the guys at Van Furniture, I’m sure they’ll be able to point you to one of their dealers 😊
@@THQAutomotive Thank you!
Any idea when the flush Kombi windows will be for sale?
Honestly answer, I’m just not happy with them yet. I have the fourth revision samples arriving late December but they need to be 100% right before we’ll release them. The goal is make an affordable, quality, flushing sliding window that doesn’t leak. We’ll get there but I don’t have a release date yet sorry.
@@THQAutomotive Thank you, worth the wait for a quality product.
My wife and I want to go down this route as we don't want to go full camper this would be ideal only thing I would want is to keep the double passenger seat.I'm very interested in doing something very similar how do I go about this HQ pm me please
It's a great set up. We don't do customers work though I'm afraid. Contact your local conversion company and show them the video.
Just curious.. how does it work having no sink? Bottled water and use campsite wash facilities for plates etc?
We have a furniture video coming on a really clever sink / shower system.
@@THQAutomotive yeah i'm waiting for that :-)
hi, does the e-grille work with the gloss black aftermarket ?
Hello, yes they do 😊
Please could you let me know the tyre size and lowering spec? Lovely work on this van.
225/65/17 BF Goodrich tyres and Navis MAC-AT wheels. It’s lowered on Twin adjust projekt LOW coilovers. Looks, drives and handles amazing.
@@THQAutomotive is that about a 70mm drop ?
@@dantoward3340 no around 80mm
Awesome conversation 👏👏👏
I m thinking to buy T5.1 and convert similar to this one. One question about hight from the floor to the roof of the Van with this wheels/tires and suspension setup?
what kind of fridge is that ?
It's these. They're brilliant transporterhq.co.uk/vw-transporter-parts-styling-accessories/camper-electrical/thq-alpicool-r50-12v-24v-50l-camper-fridge-freezer-with-lg-compressor/
What’s the overall costs in a build like this?
I don't really know sorry. Show the video to your local conversion company and ask them to quote for similar. Sorry thats not much help.
What's the brand of the leisure battery pack
It’s from this company www.portablepowertech.com/shop/product-category/portable-powerpacks/
@@THQAutomotive any clue if it's available in the eu?
@@BulletBeaverr I’m sure they would ship there.
Hi, the base model of this car ?, transporter or caravelle ?
The UK spec is a Startline Kombi although we took the seats out so we could have done the same with the panel van
Funny enough.... I was wondering the other day what ever happened to this project. Weird.
We were waiting on a few final parts to finish it 😊
Is this still running Twin-Adjust-Projekt max low's and what's the ride height set at?
Yes it is. These are set about 80mm lower than standard.
@@THQAutomotive cheers, would you say for an 80mm drop they are the most comfortable setup you do? Is it running 225/60 tyres?
@@matthewrauch1321 these are 225/65/17
What is the model please? Lwb or swb
It’s a SWB
How much will this cost me?
I don’t actually know. I didn’t price it as we built it. We don’t do customers builds. Contact Van Furniture, they could put you in touch with one of their dealers that could price it for you.
@@THQAutomotive ok thank you for your help.
Why would you sleep in a van outside then have a fake starry night! Skylight with real stars surely!
I assumed you've not seen the UK sky's at then? That aside, I don't believe anyone said build a van and don't go outside, just stay in the van and look at the headlining. Is it wrong to also make the inside of your van look nice while you traveling around enjoying nature.
@@THQAutomotive just seemed super weird to me! I guess rich folk have that option!
@@redcloud8274 rich folk? There is nothing to stop anyone making similar if they have the time.
Very boring. Good details yes, but the design looks to clean, like car interior. It does not look cozy. I wouldn't life in there.
Thanks for your comments. Each to their own I guess. I like the clean and originally look. Myself and the people we built this for aren’t about big VW logos, chrome stick on bits, bright colours and Bentley stitch seats. Thankfully we’re all different and prefer different styles. The world would be very boring if we all wanted the same thing.
@@THQAutomotive Yeah that's right. Thanks for showing anyway.
did he just say "the perfect gay van"?
@@jacobeickhardt84 if that's what you heard, maybe it's a sign? 🌈
After what has unfolded in 2020 I no longer view btc as speculation. more so an inevitability. Even if it takes 10 years to get $100k that would mean the average rate of return with a daily $100. Over a year is 100% what asset class out there today offer that type of opportunity?
No one knows what it means, but it's provocative, it gets people going.
Absolutely love it, just what I envisaged for our van whenever it might come. Perfect for just the two of us. Keeping it simple. Thanks for making the video.
Glad it was useful 😊
Fantastic van Andy. Well done to team THQ!
Thank you sir 🙏 hope you and the family are well.
