VW Transporter T5 - Camper Van Conversion Options - Jonathan Boyle

Hi, I am looking at the possibility of buying a van, to eventually convert (if money allows) into a camper van.

Initially I was thinking about buying a camper van, but then that would mean having two cars - ideally I want something I can use on a daily basis, commute to work, but also can use on a weekend to chuck some bikes in the back etc etc, cheap holidaying, cheap weekends away.

Looking around I like the look of the VW T5 Transporter - however the guy two doors down from me where I live has one and he is a complete t***** and I dont want to seem like I am copying him.

Just wondering if there are any other options? Also I wonder if its worth getting a cheaper one for now, using it for a year to see if I like it, get the use out of it, before I go whole hog on a newer one and get the full camper van conversion?

Absolutely tons of options but without knowing your initial budget to both buy the vehicle then convert it, it wouldn't be worth going into.
