The new Volkswagen Transporter is the ultimate choice for a campervan conversion, offering a perfect blend of reliability, space, and modern features. Known for its durability and smooth driving experience, the Transporter provides a solid foundation for creating a home on wheels. With customisable interior upgrades, including high roofs and flexible layouts, it ensures comfort and practicality. The latest model includes advanced safety features, efficient powertrain options—including an all-electric version—and a sleek, ergonomic cockpit. Whether for weekend getaways or full-time van life, the VW Transporter is the ideal base for your dream campervan conversion.

Introduction to VW Campervans

When it comes to campervan conversions, choosing the right vehicle is important for creating the perfect home on wheels. The new Volkswagen Transporter is set to be a popular choice for vanlifers, and for good reason. With its exceptional performance, sleek design, and adaptable interior, the VW Transporter provides a fantastic foundation for a camper conversion.

Whether you’re planning weekend escapes or full-time vanlife, we have complied some reasons why the new Transporter stands as the ideal van to convert into a Volkswagen campervan.

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. The Volkswagen Transporter has built a long-standing reputation for being reliable, durable, and well-engineered. Whether you’re driving across cities, through winding country roads, or heading off on an adventure, the Transporter is known for its quality performance and practicality.

The new Transporter has been redefined and upgraded, meaning each new model offers improved reliability and style. The TDI model offers a maximum payload of up to 1.2tonnes and a towing capacity of up to 2.8 tonnes, variant depending. The load compartment is 61mm longer than in Transporter 6.1 and over 3metres long in the long wheelbase option.

VW Transporter Upgrades

Denby Campervans offer an option to customise your own van. Using this option to upgrade your van gives you the chance to personalise your colours, plan your layout, and choose your accessories all in one place. If your dream campervan is out of your price range, Denby offers finance options for new VW campervans.

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

The new Transporter isn’t just about looks and space, it’s also about performance. Whether you’re visiting a city or exploring the countryside, it has a smooth, responsive ride, making it a joy to drive on long journeys.

The standard equipment includes Autonomous Emergency Braking to detect potential collisions, Lane Assist to help keep you on track and side curtain airbags to provide additional protection in the event of a collision.

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

When making your vehicle into a VW campervan, installing modern technology is a necessity. The new VW Transporter offers features which can seamlessly integrate into your campervan conversion.

The Transporter’s cockpit has high quality modern equipment, with the perfect blend of a clear dashboard and high seating position, it makes the cabin more car-like. Ergonomic seats provide support for long drives, and options like the 230V power hub ensure convenience is within reach.

Easy to Drive and Park

One challenged face by those with a campervan is the size and manoeuvrability of the van. While large campervans can feel daunting to drive, the new VW Transporter offers a compact yet spacious design. Browse the showroom and take it for a test drive before purchasing, or choosing a finance option. Parking in a VW campervan is much less stressful than a bulkier motorhomes, and gives you more freedom.

The Ideal Foundation for Your Dream Campervan

If you’re thinking of converting a vehicle into a campervan, the Transporter offers everything you need for a comfortable and adventurous lifestyle. And with expert conversions from Denby, you can turn this already-impressive vehicle into a fully-functional, personalised style, home on wheels.
