Not very PH - VW T5 Camper
Discussion
You can use https://imgur.com/ but I'd be more inclined to reduce the size of the images anyway (using paintdotnet or similar).
Very nice T5! I must admit I’m a fan of the sportline look, and currently thinking about trading in my C350 for one.
Normally I hate the non colour coded bumpers, but along with steel wheels this one looks perfect, I’m also a huge fan of red one too, as you say, they’re not very common. I’ve been looking at some ex fire ones, are they the same red as the Miele ones?

Ill have to go back when I get chance and fill in the gaps.
But essentially of late (well last 10 months!)
It was featured in one of the VW mags (VWT if you must) and labelled up as a modernish take on the classic “cal” look.
... and I was happy enough.
But I had a think and it wasn’t doing it for me, it was 8/10 and it began to knaw at me.
Queue version 2.0
Much Much lower (surprisingly still practical) and the wheels were sent off banded out and chrome powder coated, which isn’t chrome but more a raw metal finish.
Things were good , it went on a holiday trip to cornwall swallowing 1100 miles over 5 days.
Then things weren’t good. Earlier this week I was faced with a decision of a head on with a muppet cutting a junction, or risk squeezing into a gap against a parked car .
I think we can see which option I chose, and the other driver drove off.

Miele ones are Miele Röt, got a feeling Fire service stock is Tornado Red.

Croakey,
Red startline van ordered with business pack and tailgate - collecting in Dec. It will be 6 months old with delivery miles. Expect to see a clone (style wise!) of yours albeit not having the pop-up roof.
Basically going kombi spec with an extra single seat in the cargo area making 6 - SWMBO wants a single passenger seat up front, as suffers with her back.
Windows in the sliding door and opposite. Pondering rear quarter - leave as is, false window or actual window (any rear seat passengers might want a window) Still considering fixed or with openers in middle panes? Leaks and security Vs fresh air for passengers??
Sportline springs and 18” Amaroks. Again pondering tyre sizes - probably go with 235/50 R18s then which make??
Cannot wait!!
