Questions & Answers
Buyer Gordon asked if he could see the bed made up.
The seller doesn't have a photo of the bed made up to hand, but explains the rear bed slides out to the cupboards within minutes and has a memory foam mattress. He may be able to take a photo tomorrow.
Buyer Sue asked whether the campervan has a sink, water and a gas hob - the advert doesn't specify the kitchen fittings.
There's no kitchen or oven fitted — no sink, hob or water system. The rear is cupboards and storage only.
Buyer Terry asked about damp/damage and marks/scratches, which aren't covered in the advert.
No damp whatsoever — it's very dry. There are a few age-related marks on the bodywork but nothing serious for its age, including one key mark on one of the side doors. A few scrapes on the alloys which could do with a refurb, but all four tyres are like new. Overall the seller describes it as in excellent condition for its age.
Buyer needs 5 travelling seats plus a sleeping area, so wants to know if the extra middle seats are belted and road legal.
The 3 middle seats are belted seats from the original Shuttle set-up, and are fully road legal for travelling.
Buyer Paul is interested but wants to know the cambelt/timing belt history before going further.
Yes, the cambelt has been done, and the seller has plenty of receipts/paperwork in the service history to back it up.
Buyer Sue is interested but wants to understand the likely cost of putting the gearbox right before she commits to a viewing.
The seller has had a verbal quote of £3,800 from Mister Gearbox, a gearbox specialist in Sheffield, for the repair/refurbishment.
Wesley Brown enquired via AutoTrader on 9 Sept 2026 about the 2005 VW T5 Campervan (Holmfirth). He's already been told about the gearbox fault and has asked whether any quotes have been obtained for the work. First camper for weekends away, familiar with Holmfirth, likely to want a viewing.
The seller has had a verbal quote of £3,800 from Mister Gearbox in Sheffield for the gearbox work. It was given verbally, so nothing in writing at this stage.
Richard enquired via the website about the T5 and asked whether all the electrics work as expected, alongside service history, damp and tyres.
All the electrics work. The only thing is the air conditioning doesn't blow cold — the seller thinks it likely just needs a gas refill.
