Hello, I have recently been to the brink of buying a T5 that has been brought in to the UK from the Republic of Ireland where it has been registered all of its road going life. I spent an inordinate amount of time piecing together the incredibly complex, multi-dimensional processes that you can...

I am looking to get my Commercial bumpers colour coded and was looking for recommendations in the Dublin area. Also do you know how much it would cost. Thanks

I have a proposition for any ROI camper owners who fancy a cheap holiday in Portugal. If you would be willing to lend me your camper in Ireland for the last week of May you can in exchange borrow my T5 camper (pickup and drop off in Lisbon), also for a week. The swap does not have to be at the...

Hi guys, Recently I was quoted 216 pounds ("Europe delivery charges") to get a 42L compressor fridge sent over to the Republic from the UK. I found a service called http://www.deliverme.ie in Newry that you can get items sent to, then they courier the item(s) down to you in the south. The...

Hi guys, Is anyone coming from Britain to Ireland in the next month or so? I want to order a Vitrifigo 42L fridge for the van but I do not want to pay the 216 quid :eek: delivery price. I'd need to get the fridge delivered to the person and would pick it up, or organise a proper courier to...

Well I've finally finished putting my conversion through the process of getting it transferred to a camper van. The rest of the blog still has to catch up but I've detailed how I went through the legal process in a blog post here. I'll admit, there was some head banging off walls, some harsh...

Hi there, Am in Ireland and have been looking up and down the country (including north) for a T5 tailgate for about two months. It seems only double door'ed transporters are crashed here! Can anyone help me source a good condition tailgate? My own one is bashed so it rattles, lets in a...

Hey All, Noticed a few irish folk on here every now and again.... I was in the midddle of my conversion and my neighbour who is a fabricator & engineer has offered to make the bed for me... he also said that he's not busy and he could knock them out for sport...... the price would be in the...
