Your T5 camper conversion with MobyVan

Why the VW T5 is perfect as a camper

A glance at a simple sketch from 1947 was enough to herald one of the greatest success stories in the automotive world. Dutch importer Ben Pon provided the impetus for a van that would go on to conquer the roads starting in 1950. The original bus enchanted entire generations and, during the wild hippie years, rose to become a symbol of a free-spirited life away from rigid norms. The idea of combining luggage, a place to sleep, and companions in a single vehicle still inspires people all over the world today. Although Volkswagen has brought numerous successors onto the road over the decades, the T5, of all models, is considered by many to be the undisputed all-rounder of the series. The vehicle handles extremely smoothly on the road, is effortless to maneuver, and fits into almost any underground parking garage without difficulty. However, the real highlight for those building their own campers awaits behind the front seats. Because the cargo area is shaped almost like a straight box, very little space is lost to awkward angles. This makes paneling the walls, insulating against the cold, and installing modular furniture surprisingly easy.

Above all, avoid building spontaneously, using massive materials, and planning your electrical systems too late. Without a precise sketch, you will often end up missing essential items like a table or bed system. Furthermore, pay meticulous attention to the vehicle's weight to avoid fines for overloading. Because all cables must be routed behind the paneling, you should also be sure to complete the electrical work while the vehicle is still a bare shell, before you begin the interior fit-out.
