Did a t5 conversion from my work van during covid but sold it because of ulez in my area. Looked to get a t6 but couldn't find a sensible one without high mileage. Decided on a Transit custom which tbf isn't as easy to convert but bigger Inside & well put togeather. Think vw is over rated for what you pay as I don't buy Into the surf scene & it's nice to be different in a field full of them.
IMHO I have been buying VW vans for 37 years and they have just become more and more expensive but demand is still there but it really has got crazy couple that with most people who want a camper van want a VW and all the bells and whistles it just creates a crazy market and demand is outstipping supply. But what I have noticed is a lot of people want something for nothing and it is just not possible to buy a van even the slightly older ones for pennies these people need a reality check the vans are expensive the cost of converting them is expensive material costs have gone through the roof and in turn the end user pays more that's a fact of life. My advice to these dreamers is go buy a lesser know or wanted brand of van and watch your investment sink like a stone and stop moaning about the cost if you can't afford it then look elsewhere. I paid a lot of money for my 2018 DSG T6 and Im not selling it for peanuts when the time comes to part with it.

what happened to the previous video regarding most expensive camper built?
Well said, great information.
Thanks Dawn, hope it helped,
They are absolutely nice Vans. Do think they are overrated to some other brand in certain aspects.
Plus heated seats, LED lights, rear camera and passenger captains seat. I may as well give up looking now🤦😂😂😂
