Here at Jackyards, we’ve been fans of the VW Transporter for years… we’ve even been lucky enough to own a few of our own!
Whilst we might be a bit biased, we’ve come up with several reasons why we think VW make the best campervans…
They work well as your everyday car
Unlike a great big motorhome, VW camper vans are reliable and easy to drive, making them ideal for everyday use as well as travel. As they are quite lightweight, their vans are also good value for fuel economy. Depending on what model you get, VW vans are perfect for couples or a family with a few children.
They retain their value (if you look after them properly!)
As we’ve mentioned before, Volkswagen vans in good condition will retain their value a lot more than other camper vans. If you look after them properly – they’ve actually been known to sell for up to 75% of their original purchase price!
(Side note: one of the most important things you can get to protect your investment is a set of Jackyards seat covers. Our covers are waterproof, machine-washable and virtually indestructible – as confirmed by many happy customers over the years!
To keep your seats in perfect condition and make sure your VW van retains its value, order a set of Jackyards today.)
They have everything you need inside
Volkswagen camper vans are built for comfort with an awning, elevated roof, arm rests, heating, air-conditioning and a dashboard with online connectivity. As well as beds, some of the newer ‘day vans’ have swivelling chairs and tables fitted as an option… the California even has a mini kitchen on board!
They come in all different colours
From ‘Cherry Red’ to ‘Bay Leaf Green’, VW have lots of gorgeous colour options available as standard. We just love matching our seat covers to our customers’ vans!
There’s a model for most budgets
A brand-new VW T6 starts from just £27,626 (depending on what options you go for)… plus Volkswagen also have loads of finance options available, so you don’t need to buy a new van outright!
There’s also the ‘Volkswagen Approved Used’ programme, through which you can buy a good-quality second hand VW van, knowing that it’s covered by their Commercial Vehicle Warranty (provided the vehicle is under 6 years old).
If you’re thinking about buying a new (or second hand) Volkswagen campervan, make sure you’ve ordered a set of Jackyards covers to protect your seats!
We make bespoke seat covers for the VW Transporter van range - California SE, Beach, Ocean, Caravelle, T6, T5 and T4s – see the full catalogue and order here.
