Reliability in Volkswagen Campervans
When you’re taking your campervan on long road trips you need a van that will get you to your destination without a hitch.

One of the most important considerations when converting a van into a camper is the available interior space. You need a solid platform to build out everything from beds and kitchenettes to storage solutions and seating areas. The new VW Transporter offers a spacious interior that’s perfect for transforming into your dream campervan.
Interior Upgrades for Comfort
The high roof upgrade option increases headroom, making the interior of the campervan feel roomy and comfortable. With the right customisation, this extra space can be used for full-height cabinetry, a separate bathroom area, or even a full-size bed without feeling cramped.
The wide and flat load bay of the Transporter is a great starting point for a camper conversion, giving you a clean slate to work with. With ample floor space, the layout possibilities are virtually endless. Plus, the Transporter is available in multiple lengths and wheelbase options, so you can choose the version that best suits your conversion plans.
Power and Efficiency

In addition to standard diesel model specification, there is an all-electric model which features individually controllable heated seats, heat pump, single-zone automatic air conditioning and all-season tyres with Commerce Plus, or heated multi-function steering wheel and full LED rear lights with exclusive light signature with Commerce Pro.
Modern Features for a Convenient Lifestyle
