VW Transporter Campervan T5.1, 2011 – Everything included – Ready for adventure

Volkswagen Transporter T5.1 SWB Camper Van

I originally bought this van with the dream of travelling across Europe. To ensure reliable and trouble-free touring, I invested in significant preventative maintenance shortly after purchase, including a full service, cam-belt and water pump replacement, and a brand-new clutch, all completed in June and July this year.

Unfortunately, after several UK trips, I discovered that the side effects of my cancer medication are not compatible with the realities of camper-van travel. As a result, this fantastic camper is now reluctantly offered for sale.

The VW Transporter T5.1 is widely regarded as one of the most desirable Transporter models, combining reliability, practicality and comfort. This short wheelbase camper is equally suited to weekend escapes, festivals and extended touring holidays, while still being easy to drive and park as an everyday vehicle.
