Time to come out the closet & introduce you all to the new Robowagen - Alfie

I agree, it's all about the camping. I think when we had the T5, it just gave us more options for camping ie, we could travel further afield at the drop of a hat. Get there quicker, in greater comfort (yeah, I know it's all about the journey isn't it? ) Re alloys, have to admit I was going to ask @rickyrooo1 if you fancied swapping our alloys for your steels at last TE but I seem to remember you were content with steels....academic now obviously.

 

i'm not comparing the 2 vans - completely different set up and useage requirements besides his cost twice as much

 

standard 16 inch vw wheels i mean like robo's - not sure if the bumpers will wrap to be fair - will it adhere to plastic with all those shapes?

 

Yes, long as they aren't swathed in silicone shine....

 

If your on Facebook then this guy who's local to me brings em over from Ireland! Mostly T4's but occasionally T5's and they're very reasonably priced & usually sold before he fetches em!

My highlight was receiving my key complete with pink bling!

 

you're allowed to drive it? but, but, you're ....a....... girl.

 

Oh yes!!! I'm gutted my photo won't upload!!

 

Very nice van.

Happy driving and happy camping

The clues were there with that photo of your son taken in the VW dealership?

 

Pah! They'll be giving them the vote next!! You couldn't make it up!

 

Been out on the drive having a sort out of what we need to carry for a spontaneous one nighter to keep inside Alfie & left the mountain of other stuff in the garage for those organised / arranged adventures

Had a practise swivel of the front seats and at setting up the main bed, to be honest I was struggling to get the triple seat to move along the rail but then found a sticker on the back that revealed that I have to fold the seat forwards then pull the lever

Here's a few more internal shots although not much to see really

 

i love the cali step lights on these.
where do they hide the leisure battery on these vans?

 

are you sure you will see that step robo when your tripping up it after a few in woodies bus

 

Apparently there isn't one in the beach, it has a beefy starter battery & alternator setup with some kind of system that shuts all the interior electrics down before your battery goes flat thus enabling you to start the engine! It can recharge with just the engine on tick over

It's all new to me & he could of been telling me porkies & I can only find details of the new T6 beach spec online!

 

I doubt it Barn

 

do you have some 240 sockets then? no charging option off that? didn't you get a handbook of any kind?

 

Yes there's hook up which also charges main battery & 1 no. 240v socket in the rear

 

Handbook will check glove box
