Full Van Tour of Our 6 Berth - Extra LWB VW Crafter Camper!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
It's been a long time coming, but our Crafter is finally finished and ready to hit the road.
Massive thank you to Rhales conversions for their incredible work inside this.
We'd also like to thank trailer vision for supplying the brilliant camera system.
We still have a few more video's to come on the Crafter including a front / cab audio install. We'll do this showing the standard headunit and also with the new Alpine Halo 11 when they are back in stock.
Coming very soon are the new Crafter / Man TGE dynamic side repeaters. When we have these we'll do a video showing how to install them.
We are alway's working on new Crafter / Man TGE products and hope to so be able to office a full lowering suspension kit for Solow Suspension.
The Crafter / Man TGE parts we sell can be found here - transporterhq.co.uk/
The Crafter / Man TGE window's we sell can be found here - camperglass.co.uk/
Ecoflow power pack's here - transporterhq.co.uk/vw-transp...

As always, thanks for watching.

Great conversation. Not enough conversions for families with more than 4. The quality of the fit out and the thought of what is really necessary really shows. My ideal van that. Well done 👌

hi love it all how do you get cctv working?
That looks so roomy. I'll be looking for a similar sized van for a music studio/gaming build. I've got some costing done and rough plans. Now it's time to look for remote jobs to get the ball rolling, get an RSA (Australia) so I have the option to work in pubs/bars, another option is fruit picking, etc.
Was WAITING for SOMEONE to do the XLWB Model, I used to Drive Lorries [Class1] But we also had VW Vans the early LT35s XLWB Jeez the room in the back was HUUUGE And they NEVER Broke down. I;d like to see someone do the NEW Crafter XLWB DSG [8speed] And take it to DARKSIDE For a Mild Tune, Then do the Conversion [That is MY DREAM BUILD]. Best wishes on your success [South Wales].
Hello! Your truck is great ! We are bringing in a crafter and we are looking for a system to rotate the front seats. What brand is your system and where did you purchase it?
