VWt Issue 172 - August 2026

This issue follows the transformation of Stuart Colley’s working T6 Highline from detailing van to immaculate camper and show vehicle. Dave Turner explains why downsizing from a Crafter to a long-wheelbase T4 was the perfect move, while Gavin Prince combines travel, extreme sports and remote working in a plush off-grid Transporter. Another owner proves that buying a van without prior knowledge can still lead to a rewarding build. Travel features head to Calvados and follow an image-inspired French adventure, with relaxed show coverage from Dubs in the Orchard. There is also a visit to the VW Engine Company, owner stories, new products, project updates, classifieds and a free poster.
