Hi Folks,

Good to be here, it's lonely out there sometimes! I have a 2010 T5 SWB panel van. Basic clean white ex-commercial with side window, manual six speed. Have previously owned two vans, other brands, and this VW is by far my favourite. Great drive, goes well.

I live up in the Blue Mountains, near Sydney, NSW. Mum recently passed away, the last one to go, and working on the van has kept my mind occupied. It's used for everything, from work to leisure.

I enjoy getting out, camping, and so have built an innovative modular system of plywood sections that installs in the van and that can be easily removed. Its a Kombinational in a way. 90% complete, and I am yet to see a similar layout.

Yesterday I went ahead and touched some wiring behind the headunit, so now cannot open the tail door and more! Hence the catalyst for joining here, after browsing many pages. When I do get it open I'll be happy to post some photos or share my ideas for inspiration, as others have before.
