The T6.1 includes a number of new features built within the standard base vehicle (such as Cruise Control, Multi Function Steering Wheel, App Connect & Slide Opening Rear Windows) plus a range of new options built around the vehicle’s upgraded electronics system – learn more about the VW T6.1 on our blog.
We are a 100% Employee Owned business and place customer safety at the very top of our list. We offer VW Registered T6.1 campervan conversions and have full certification for the two vital safety schemes of Full Type Approval & NCC Approved.
VW T6.1 Campervan Conversion & VW Van Features
Our base price includes a wide range of standard features for both the VW T6.1 vehicle and for the conversion – we also offer a wide range of optional features from which you can choose.
Although the sections below provide details on both, it’s impossible to list everything – so if you can’t see something you think should be there, then please don’t hesitate to contact us and ask.
Conversion Features
The key standard features of our Jura conversion include:
VW High Top Roof
A top quality solid high roof that is manufactured and factory fitted by Volkswagen. Fully insulated and trimmed inside but still giving 187cm (6ft 2″) of internal headheight with a finished external vehicle height of 250cm.
Cupboards and Tables
The clever design of our Jura furniture squeezes a lot into the rear of the T6.1 and combines a full kitchen, with ample storage and a fixed cassette toilet that is closed off behind a privacy door. We don’t simply assemble premade furniture kits, we scribe, cut and edge band in house and treat every camper van as an individual project.
Seats and Beds
Belted seats for 4 people, tested by Jerba Campervans to full Type Approval safety certification. The French made rear RIB seats convert with swivelling front seats to form either 2 single beds, each measuring 60cm x 185cm, or the option of a double bed measuring 120cm x 200cm. Integrated headrests and contoured seating means these seats are comfy for both travel and sleeping. Both VW cab seats are fitted at the factory with swivels and turn easily to face the rear.
Fridge, Hob and Sink
The Jura is built with the same worktop height as a standard kitchen counter in your home, with a three burner SMEV gas hob and combined sink alongside and a 51 litre fridge that is raised up for easy access, the kitchen area is easy to use with plenty of counter space and everything easy to hand. On the vehicle underside we locate a 38 litre water tank which frees up even more cupboard space.
Gas & Electrics
A fully sealed steel gas box as standard, top grade electrical parts by UK manufacturer Sargent and individually tested certification from qualified gas and electrical engineers are standard in our Jura T6.1 conversion. With a VW factory fitted Varta AGM leisure battery system there is excellent 12v capacity and longer battery life.
Insulation & Flooring
With a fully insulated bonded birch plywood floor and vehicle side cavities filled with Non Itch insulation we aim to keep you as warm as we can. The commercial grade vinyl flooring is as tough as it comes, has a non slip finish, is simple to wipe clean and looks great!
- Awning Rails, Awnings and Sunshades – to attach any awning to the side of your T6.1 then you’ll first need an awning rail. The rail we use blends in to match the van and we stock a small range of high quality free standing awnings and sunshades.
- Bike Rack – an easy fold down bike rack system that can carry up to two bikes on the double rear doors. No need to remove the rack when it’s not in use.
- Grill or Warming Oven – if you can’t be without your toast or crispy bacon then a grill may be a must for you – but remember that it will be at the cost of cupboard storage space. You can easily make toast though on our Wallas diesel fuelled hob option, so that’s worth a look!
- Leather Upholstery – change the look and feel of your campervan with full leather seating on the cab and the rear seats.
- 2 Metres (6ft 6) Long Bed – for taller customers we offer an increase in the length of the rear bed to 2 metres (6ft 6) in all of our conversions.
- Double Bed Option – a slide system fitted to the rear twin seats mean you can bring them together at night to form a 120cm wide double bed.
- Slide Window Midge Screen – keep the smallest of biting insects out of your van with our midge screens made specifically to fit rear side slide opening VW T6 (& T5) windows.
- Safe Box – with 3mm solid steel sides and a high quality 8 lever lock, our safe boxes are always securely located fully out of sight. Easily big enough for an ipad and other essentials to be hidden away.
- Solar Panel – 100 Watt Roof Mounted Solar Panel – gives you great independence in the summer months away from a mains supply or the need to drive in order to recharge the leisure batteries.
- Soft Thermoflex Lining to Beds – this internal lining layer not only makes your bed softer but also allows air to move beneath the fabric and quickly dry out any condensation.
- Wallas Diesel Fuelled Combined Hob & Heater – for a gas free camping experience try the diesel fuelled hob & hot air heating all in one option – enjoy more boot storage space, an easy clean glass surface, a single fuel source, no gas worries and reduced condensation. There are plenty of positives!
- Waste Water Tank – there are definite pro’s and con’s to having a waste water tank on your campervan, we hope our explanation will help you decide!
- Webasto Airtop Hot Air Heating and Cool Blowing Fan – to use your campervan all year around you’ll often find a hot air heater is a valuable friend – we can also adapt heating systems into cooling fans for the hotter summer days.
- Webasto Thermo Top Evo Combined Hot Water and Hot Air with Optional Shower – blown hot air and continuous hot water from a heat exchanger plate – not a small storage tank. All from a diesel fuelled system. You can even have a shower at the rear of the van!

Van Dimensions and Payloads
Dimensions
The VW Transporter T6.1 are only available in two lengths;
- Short Wheel Base – total length 4.9m
- Long Wheel Base – total length 5.3m
The height of the van original low roof van straight from the VW factory is 1.99m, however, the fitting on our pop top elevating roof adds slightly to that giving a finished converted height for the Tiree, Cromarty, Sanna and Taransay of 2.0m.
Our Jura campervan is based entirely upon the factory fitted VW high top roof has a finished total height of 2.58m – this includes a Seitz roof vent at 0.1m which we add to the roof.
The width and ground clearance of both base vehicles is identical;
- With mirrors folded – 1.91m
- With mirrors out – 2.3m
- Ground clearance – 0.2m
Payloads
It’s always important to understand exactly how much you can carry in your campervan, as overloading your vehicle can be dangerous and is of course illegal. All vehicle manufacturers publish a variety of weights and payload information for their vehicles and they are usually described as follows:
- Gross Vehicle Weight – the overall maximum weight the vehicle can be without a trailer.
- Gross Train Weight – the overall maximum weight the vehicle can be including a trailer.
- Unladen Weight – the weight of the manufactured standard vehicle without any options & extras and before it’s converted into a campervan. This Unladen Weight figure includes the driver (assumed at 75kg) and a full tank of fuel, but no passengers.
- Payload – the maximum weight that can be carried in the vehicle. Basically this is the Gross Vehicle Weight less the Unladen Weight.
With the VW Transporter each vehicle also has a separate number after the letter T which denotes its Gross Vehicle Weight – so a T30 has a maximum weight of 3000kg and a T32 a maximum weight of 3200kg.
How We Calculate Our Payloads
All our calculations are based upon our standard Tiree, Taransay, Cromarty, Sanna and Jura conversions and the overall weight of each of these is the total of the original Unladen Weight, published by Volkswagen, plus the extra weight that we add on when converting the van.
In addition to this extra conversion weight, it is required under European legislation, that when publishing payload figures we must also include the weight of the following items in our final sums – basically these are must haves for your campervan to be used for what it’s been designed!
Full tank of fresh water – based upon 38 litres
Two full LPG Propane 3.9kg canisters
230v mains lead – 10 metres
Remember that any additional VW factory vehicle options you have chosen on your base van, as well as any other internal conversion options, will of course add to the overall weight and so reduce your overall payload, however, as an average passenger is around 75kg, then even with three or four passengers you will still have a considerable payload to take everything you’ll need for your trips away!
