This is your T6
With the sliding door open and the awning out, the view through the door, in the evening with the lights on, at night from above – and with the exterior dimensions. All pictures come straight from the planner.
By day

Through the sliding door
The first look inside – this is how your layout feels when you stand in front of the van.
In the evening
The same view with the lights on – cosy before you’ve laid a single cable.
Light throughout the van
All lights on – so you can see where it gets bright and where it stays dark.
Night mode
From above: beds and benches folded out, ready for the night.

Power, water and weight for your T6
The planner calculates your whole conversion, not just the furniture – and at the end you know exactly what to buy. Power, water, insulation and axle loads are included in Monthly and the Project Pass, the shopping lists (build kits) in the Project Pass.
Plan your power
Enter your appliances – cool box, lights, heater, laptop. The planner works out your daily consumption, how long your leisure battery lasts and how quickly solar, the alternator and shore power recharge it. Plus cable size and fuse for every circuit.
Plan your water
Tank, pump and boiler: the planner shows how many litres you need per day, how long your tank lasts and how much hot water the boiler delivers – including pipe lengths to every tap.
Weight and axle loads
Every item brings its weight to its spot. The planner spreads everything over the front and rear axle, also with full tanks and passengers, and warns you before your T6 gets too heavy.
Shopping lists for your T6
Your design becomes a ready-made shopping list: the power kit (battery, chargers, fuses, cables in the right size and length), the water kit (tank, pump, boiler, pipes, taps), the cutting kit (wood and boards with cutting plan and cut list) and the insulation kit (insulation per surface in whole rolls and boards, adhesive and tape) – made for your T6. Tick off, share or take along as PDF and CSV.
Insulation
Material and thickness for roof, walls, doors, floor and wheel arches – or a ready-made package: Summer, Four seasons or Winter sports. The planner calculates the heat loss, checks whether your heater is up to it and where condensation can form, and shows the manufacturer’s installation guideline for your T6.
GasSoon
Plan the gas bottle, hob and gas heater safely, with everything you need for it. Coming soon – also with a shopping list.
Layouts for your T6
Four templates fit the T6: “Rock and roll bed” and “Garage bed with slatted base + workspace” fit both wheelbases, “Side benches with pedestal table” only the long one. For “Twin single beds” you need the long wheelbase with high roof. Add a pop-top with roof bed in the planner from the items under “Roof & exterior”. Build everything else freely from more than 90 items.
Transporter T6.1 L1H1Rock and roll bed
Bench seat at the rear that folds flat into a bed at night (rock and roll bed), kitchen along the left wall. For compact and low-roof vans.
Transporter T6.1 L1H1Garage bed with slatted base + workspace
Garage at the rear with a slatted base that slides forward at night and then rests on a height-adjustable table, and on the worktop where possible. By day that table is your workspace, with an L-shaped bench or benches around it.
Transporter T6.1 L2H3Twin single beds
Two single beds along the sides with a walkway between them, garage underneath.
Transporter T6.1 L2H1Side benches with pedestal table
Two ochre velvet benches facing each other with a pedestal table in between. By day a walkway to the rear doors, at night one bed across the full width. Open shelves on the rear doors.
What matters in a T6
Compact means every decision counts double. Sort out these four points in the planner before you buy any wood.
Rock and roll bed instead of a transverse bed
At 1,700 mm wide, the T6 load space is too narrow for a fixed transverse bed. The classic solution: a bench seat that folds flat at night, with a kitchen unit along the left wall – a ready-made template in the planner. In the garage bed and on the side benches you also sleep lengthwise in a T6.
Pop-top with roof bed
Put a pop-top on your T6, with or without a roof bed. The planner shows the headroom under the open roof and the size of the roof bed, and warns you if a wall cabinet sits under the roof opening.
Short or long wheelbase?
The long wheelbase adds 400 mm of load length: 2,972 instead of 2,572 mm. Then the side benches with pedestal table fit too, and with a high roof also twin single beds. In the planner you compare both variants directly.
Keep an eye on payload
In a T6 you reach the payload limit quickly. The planner works from the kerb weight, adds every item and spreads it over the front and rear axle. You enter your vehicle’s gross vehicle weight yourself. The axle load calculation is included in Monthly and the Project Pass.
Three steps to your layout
Everything runs in your browser – nothing to install. You create an account and try it free for 7 days.
Choose your T6
Choose your variant (with Monthly or the Project Pass) and enter your wall build-up. The planner then works with the net interior dimensions – not the bare metal.
Build your layout
Start from a template or drag items in: beds, kitchen, bathroom, water tank, battery, heater and more – over 90 item types, every dimension to the millimetre.
Check and save
Collisions turn red and your design is saved automatically. Weight, axle loads and exporting the parts list come with Monthly or the Project Pass.
All T6 variants with factory dimensions
Load space, wheelbase and overall length come from the manufacturer’s specifications. Click “Open” and the variant starts straight away in the planner.
Frequently asked questions
Can I plan my T6 (2015–2019) with this?
Yes. The T6.1 is the facelift of the T6; the load space and wheelbase stayed the same. Simply choose the T6.1 in your length and roof height in the planner.
Can I plan a pop-top?
Yes. In the planner, add a pop-top from the items under “Roof & exterior”, with a roof bed if you like. The planner shows the headroom under the open roof and the size of the roof bed. The button at the top starts you straight off with a pop-top.
What about the new VW Transporter?
The new VW Transporter from 2025, often called the “T7”, is in the planner too. It is based on the Ford Transit Custom and has the same load space as the new Custom from 2023. Not to be confused with the Multivan.
What does the planner cost?
You try it free for 7 days, without payment details: one design in a set van, with all parts and templates, collision checks and day/night. After that the trial ends by itself: no subscription keeps running and you can still view your design. More designs, a different van or variant, the power and axle load calculations and the export come with Monthly (€7.99 per month, cancel any month) or the Project Pass (€39.99 one-off, 12 months of access). Prices include VAT.
How accurate are the dimensions?
Load space, wheelbase and exterior dimensions come from the manufacturer’s specifications, as do the door dimensions where known. The position and size of the wheel arches and the shape of the side walls, which slope inwards towards the top, are estimates that you can adjust in the planner. Always measure your own van before cutting anything.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. You drag items with one finger, rotate the view with one finger on an empty spot and zoom with two fingers. For fine-tuning dimensions a laptop is more comfortable, though.
Does the planner replace a vehicle inspection?
No. The planner helps you plan and check, but it does not replace professional advice on the construction, an inspection or approval by your vehicle authority (such as the RDW in the Netherlands or TÜV and DEKRA in Germany), or measuring your own van.
