Full Van Tour of Our 6 Berth - Extra LWB VW Crafter Camper!
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 electrical hookup in the vw badge is class. Love ittt
Yeah it's a cool little feature :)
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 👌
As much as we love the standard fixed double bed at the rear, this was always designed with family in mine. I'm rear pleased with how it turned out.
@@THQAutomotive the alternating bunk arrangement into a sofa is a great use of space. I would need some form of garage space also, so would be interesting to see if it could be lifted slightly to give some storage space? I guess you went through all these options👍🏼
@@savvysurveyor5318 Yes, under the back bunk is the A/C and heating. If you didn't have A/C or had roof mounted A/C and moved the heater, this would free up that space there as a small garage.
Struggled to find conversions for family of 5 as well. Vw or sprinter.
@@jankaskyevitchjellbet7293 it seems most companies go with the double bed at the back, set up. I've not seen many with space for children. Not 4 children anyway 😜
Thank you for a God rewiew! It was interesting! Hello from Russia
That without doubt the best camper set up I’ve seen. I’d love to own it if I was living over there.
Thank you for your kind words :)
Oh wait, where are u? N these companies making all the fab stuff?
@@jangayle5849 We're in the UK
Possibly the best van conversion I've seen to date...great job👍👊
Thanks David 🙌💛
Probably the best Crafter/ Sprinter sized conversion I have seen. Top top work!
It's a monster that's for sure. Thanks for your kind words.
Looks fantastic Andy! Great family luxury camper van! 👍
Thanks Shaun. Looking forward to seeing the progress on yours.
Great walkthrough of a beautiful and practical conversion Andy - top job
Thanks Martin. Can't wait to get out and use it now.
Fantastic looking van worth waiting for I bet you’re glad you ordered the wrong length and you still added to the length inside and out will set out keep safe everyone through the summer don’t rush you’ll get there anyway 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
I actually don't know how we would have done it with the XLWB. So glad I made the mistake when ordering.
As always , the best on the market. You guys are brilliant at what you do 🤛🏼
Thank you so much 🙌💛
I really want those Crafter Headlights for the Transporter, they're my absolute favourite of any you do.
Which Transporter do you have. We're working on some new lights at the moment?
Thanks for knocking this together, very informative
Glad to be of assistance 😊💛
Man the van the color just caught my eyes. Love it inside and out
Big changes coning soon. Keep watching
What an awesome van, you clearly have thought about what you need/desire 👍
Thank you. Yes it took a lot of planning and taping things out on the floor to work the layout,
The only thing missing is "School Bus" down the side! Only joking! It looks cool.
absolutely amazing mate well done
Great conversion! I love the camera system and the way it changes camera with the indicators 👏🏼
Yeah it's a great bit of kit from trailer vision
Omg, brilliant!!! ThIS is the build n stuff I’ve been looking for with 5 of us n maybe a visitor or two time to time!!! Thank you!!!
Glad to help :)
Nicely done Crafter 👍 Thanks for showing.
We have an update coming soon with some changes we've made
@@THQAutomotive cheers, look forward to seeing your video.
Fantastic conversion and we are very pleased to hear that the 360˚ camera system meets your expectations, thanks!

What an amazing family camper. Must have such presence on the road 'coming through' !!! haha
People just think its a DHL delivery van I think! haha.
That's my dream Crafter right there - what a build!
Wanna do a magazine feature? ;)
@@THQAutomotive that could work.... have you guys done any before? ;)
@@glennrowswell3007 One or two... haha
That's an absolute unit.
Yeah it is quite the Monster! haha
love this camper van
It's a monster. A few changes since this video. Update coming soon
great job andy, as usual
Thanks 😊 🙌
Beautiful van really looks smart.....
Thanks Robbie, we're really pleased.
@Transporter HQ great idea about the roof tent with the panels! Has the tent been on the van at all times? How has it held up?
Yeah 2 years in and going strong :)
Hi guys, great van and great to see room for a full family in larger van! We have a VW Grand, do you think you could retrofit a swivel bench up front as would love to seat 5 if we could. Thanks
Love this !!
New update video coming today / tomorrow. We've made a few minor changes
Really good looking van, so long! 😀
It's rather large isn't it 😛
That’s it one hell of a nice camper van.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Allan 🙌
Hey und liebe Grüße aus Eisenach ❤.Ihr macht einem guten Job ☀️ein sehr schöner Camper 😉👌🤝
Serious bit of kit that pal 👌 Looks really really nice
Cheers mate. Hope you're getting out plenty in yours.
@@THQAutomotive loads mate best thing i ever did . I did manage to rip the water tank off in the middle of dartmoor the other week that wasnt fun 🤣
@@thegreatunknown5778 oooops! And there was me thinking of lowering mine 😳
@@THQAutomotive i wanted too as well but the wheelbase is that long ive nearly beached a couple of times and my water tank is the lowest point in the middle
@@thegreatunknown5778 yeah that's the lowest on mine too.
Fantastic van Andy it looks brilliant, if I had the space I would have bought new crafter. But my driveway wouldn't allow it .so I bought a brand new t6.1 swomper instead 👍
Great choice still, enjoy 😊
What a fantastic build! Is that 4Motion, RWD or FWD? L4 or L5? H2 or H3? Also, what is the process like to get it uprated (driver's liscence aside)? Uprating to CR50? Thanks!
Looks Amazing I think that is the route I would like to take
It took a lot of planning but we're really pleased with the outcome.
So so cool 😎
Truly epic build that! Bloody good job boys 👊 hopefully be featured in vwt soon.......
Thank you. I'll have a word with the VWt editors and see what they say 😊
@@THQAutomotive yeah boy!
Where did you bought that power outlet badge masked in the front grill ?
Great to see these videos by a British KZheadr
Thank you 🙏
Awesome
wow.. looks fealy nice👍👍👍
Thank you :)
Briliant van!
Thank you, we're really pleased with the finished results.
Colour is great
It's a factory colour called chrome yellow
Superb
Thank you. There is a short update video here kzhead.info/sun/d7CnY6h-rqaoZnk/bejne.htmlsi=FGWDpvKooEqrF-mj
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].
Love the van! From another dad of 4 - it’s definitely inspirational!! Out of interest, do you have any rough dimensions of the Reimo seat both as a seat and as a bed? I’d like to model it up in sketchup!
From memory is 120cm wide and 6ft long
hi love it all how do you get cctv working?
Youve sold it to me in 6 mins 😂😂💗 mint camper mate.👏👏
Glad to help 😁
Big job..👌🏽
It is a monster for sure.
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?
Very Nice
Thank you Sir :)
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.
I like it!
Thank you 🙏
Great colours and attention to the details, no wonder the conversion guy kwit! You must of broke him 😀
Richard did an amazing job and took everything I asked for in his stride. I definitely wasn't an easy customer though 😂
Beautiful van I love the new shape. Did you build the units? Does the air con only work on hook up and the cctv need a sim ?
RHales conversions built the units. Air con work off the batteries. No sim needed for the cctv. Just an SD card to store the files
I like that van, I wish it was available in America.
awesome build! Is the awning attached to the roof rails or the roof rack? Do you have the Reimo bed model you used too please? nice one thanks!
Its mounted to the roof rack. The bed is a Reimo variotech.
Шикарная работа, молодец!!!
Thank you :)
Love the “chill box”, and how coy the builder is. “Chill” is parent code for other activities, eh mate!? Just wondering how much washing and squeaking is going on during that time, and if the kids kids have clued in, or have told you that they already know what’s going on. Safe travels!
You got me 😜
Lovely build 💪 What railing system for the tripple seat did you use? thanks :)
Hello, it was supplied with the bed by CMC Reimo.
Would you please recommend where to purchase similar offroad wheels and tires inside EU? Thanks
Very nice work Andy. Who manufactures the 2nd row triple seat? Is there enough room for three teenagers to site side by side?
Reimo. Its slightly wider than a standard car rear seat. They do a wider version but this would block the entrance too much
I'd love out of this quite happily!
It's a big as some houses! 😄
What a nice build! This colour looks sooo amazing. Exspecially with that wheels. What is the Weight of the crafter if you travel for example 1 week? Can you drive it with a 3,5t driver license?
No it's going to be over. We're in the process of changing the class now.
@@THQAutomotive Oh crazy. Thats a lot. But wich Weight do the van have at the Moment? I ask because i already want to build me in a view years also a van and don´t be sure about the lenght i should take. My dream is a van where i have my garage for my mtb´s and gravel bikes and additionally enought space to inside and work or hang out rainy day´s for 2,3 or 4 people. What i really love is your Idea with the tent on the roof - stands also some times on my list xD
What is the weight of the van in drive condition? Are 3.5 tons possible with load?
Love the conversion, buy the same van but as a man tge, do you have the link of the 2 swivels seats, I cant find them on google
As mentioned in the video, they don't have them on their website. Google R&J camper solutions. You'll need to call them up.
Hey up Andy ….. great van ! I’m on the verge of buying a similar van, one concern I have is ground clearance, speed humps mainly, you had any issues ?
No none at all and it's been all over Europe
Hello! Awesome build! Is there any chance you could share some info about the camera system? Is that something already available on market or total custom-built solution?
Yes, google a company called Trailer vision. Say we sent you have you get a discount
the best ive ever seen in a long time. How much is the work (without the car)...
Thank you for your kind words. I've never dare sit down and work out the cost 🫣
That power hook-up on the front badge is brilliant! And you got me looking for the Ecoflow River, currently out of stock on Amazon.
It's an e-grille. We stock them on our website. Are also sell the eco flow river, they are also in stock and on our website. There are links in the description text of this video.
@@THQAutomotive i tried to find this one on your website with no success. Does the T6 one fit on Crafter as well ?
@@AdrianSinner97 yes it's the T6 version. It just needs a little extra cutting. It's obvious when you come to do it.
Awesome looking build 👍 good luck parking at asda😂 I’m very interested in the roof tent? Do you sell these please? 🎉
This will be going no where near an Asda carpark! Haha. This roof tent is from Tentbox direct. Google them.
Super Conversion. Where can I get more info on Romatech beds? Cheers. Keep up the good work.
Speak to CMC Reimo. If you google them, they'll find them
looks great. Just started building a an xlwb myself. i will wave if i pass you.
Good luck with your build 😊
Could the 3 bench rock and roll bed fit in the rear too but face the other way as in with the back against the side of the van making a 9 seater?
Not really. The Crafter isn't 6 ft wide and thats how long the bed is.
How tall are you? Im asking couse I have 2m and I wonder if I could fit in Crafter L5h3 (196cm high).
ah now see why have a MWB I got LMB but now thinking of selling for the ELWB so hope a nice conversion
So much room for activities
@@THQAutomotive so sorry but I do not like the conversion sorry.
@@googlelimp9834 no need to say sorry. We all have our own taste.
@@THQAutomotive exactly I don't have kids. So I only need a double bed until one pops lol 😆
@@googlelimp9834 Avoid at all cost!! keep your freedom as long as you can! haha
Great Video m8 wanting to know more about the lowered crafter at the end of the video m8 prices etc Ta
We have it on a van at the moment but we want to try it with different weights. Its a full set-up with shorter leaf springs etc. We want to do it right, not just a quick cheap fix. Price to be confirmed.
That's like Tesla cameras. I'd be tempted to powdercoat that side door runner black. If the sunstrip said Crafter HQ i'd order one. Significant difference in height for legs under the table! Love the colour so much. Very curious about the weight and water tanks.
I'll get it on the weigh bridge next week.
Did you ever get it on a weighbridge and find out the unladen weight? I’m looking at a van to use for some building work, then convert to a camper afterwards. An XLWB crafter has appeared, but I’m wary of the all up weight once done
Yes its over weight so had to be up rated
،،nice one, how much horse power or kilo Watts, how many passenger? We are big family 8 persons, does need special diving licence? Thank you so much fir answering these important details. Thr eingin size, is it sport van, does it need modifications if one asks for stronger eingin. It's nice camper as it looks in the video.
Why did he stop building them, no market or something or did he make enough to retire. ?
Great video. What’s the make of seat that turns into a bed?
Thank you. It's a Reimo bed
Nice set-up and great video! Cheers Andy! 🤙
No problem. I'm missing some parts for the Tentbox if you could help me out? I've emailed you.
Certainly more spacious and light than my 6 berth
A lot more room than I'm used to in a transporter
