Our Sanna campervan is one of our VW T6.1 campervan conversions and is the ultimate independent home on wheels. With two single rear seats making two single rear beds and an option to form a double bed, this VW T6.1 campervan has a fixed toilet with privacy door, full kitchen, ample storage and a deep working surface. The best in campervan conversions, go anywhere anytime without the need of campsite facilities.
From October 2019 the VWT6.1 replaced the T6 model. The T6.1 includes a number of new features built within the standard base vehicle (such as Cruise Control, Multi Function Steering Wheel, App Connect & Slide Opening Rear Windows) plus a range of new options built around the vehicle’s upgraded electronics system – learn more about the VW T6.1 on our blog.
We are a 100% Employee Owned business and place customer safety at the very top of our list. We offer VW Registered T6.1 campervan conversions and have full certification for the two vital safety schemes of Full Type Approval & NCC Approved.
Our base price includes a wide range of standard features for both the VW T6.1 vehicle and for the conversion – we also offer a wide range of optional features from which you can choose.
Although the sections below provide details on both, it’s impossible to list everything – so if you can’t see something you think should be there, then please don’t hesitate to contact us and ask.
Our standard conversion specification includes everything you need to set off on a trip – we don’t leave out vital elements, our campervans are ready for the road.
The key standard features of our Sanna conversion include:
Elevating Roof
Top quality rear elevating roof designed by Jerba Campervans – closes down to a max height of 2 metres. Fully breathable and removable Ventile cotton canvas, with stainless steel parts – we only fit our roof to Jerba conversions, we don’t sell it to any other converters. Our Jura conversion offers a solid high top roof variation on the Sanna layout.
Seats and Beds
Fully belted seating for 4 people, tested by Jerba Campervans to Type Approval safety regulations. Rear seats converting with swivelled front seats to form either 2 single beds, each measuring 60cm x 185cm, or the option of one double bed measuring 120cm x 200cm. With integrated headrests and contoured seating these French made RIB seats are comfy for both travel and sleeping. Both cab seats have VW factory fitted swivels which turn easily to face the rear.
Cupboards and Tables
The clever design of our Sanna furniture squeezes a lot into the rear of the T6.1 and combines a full kitchen, with ample storage and a fixed cassette toilet with privacy door. We don’t simply assemble premade furniture kits, we scribe, cut and edge band in house and treat every camper van as an individual project. Our furniture board is always made from laminated lightweight poplar ply, making it tough and decreasing your vehicle weight.
Fridge, Sink and Hob
Fridge, Sink & Hob – with the same worktop height as a standard domestic kitchen, a huge amount of counter space, a three burner SMEV gas hob with sink alongside and a 51 litre fridge that is raised up for easy access, the Sanna has a lot of plus points when it comes to cooking. A 38 litre water tank fitted on the van underside frees up your cupboard space and gives a plentiful water supply.
Gas & Electrics
A fully sealed steel gas box, top quality 12v & 230v Sargent electrical parts and individually tested certification from qualified gas and electrical engineers are standard in our Sanna T6.1 conversion. VW Varta leisure battery system factory fitted by VW which gives excellent 12v storage and longer battery life.
Insulation & Flooring
We fit a fully insulated bonded birch plywood floor and fill the vehicle side cavities with Non Itch insulation in order to keep you as warm as we can. Our commercial grade vinyl flooring has a non slip finish, is as tough as it comes, simple to wipe clean and looks great.
All our campervan conversions are based on the Volkswagen Transporter T6.1 Window Van or Kombi. Classified by the DVLA as Passenger vehicles, these vans are supplied to us by VW with factory fitted rear windows.
Our starting prices are based upon the 110 bhp T6.1 with manual transmission and our standard specification also includes all of the following Volkswagen factory fitted features;
Volkswagen offer a wide range of optional extras on the Transporter T6.1 Window Van or Kombi – below is a list of just some of the choices that are available.

The VW Transporter T6.1 are only available in two lengths;
The height of the van original low roof van straight from the VW factory is 1.99m, however, the fitting on our pop top elevating roof adds slightly to that giving a finished converted height for the Tiree, Cromarty, Sanna and Taransay of 2.0m.
Our Jura campervan is based entirely upon the factory fitted VW high top roof has a finished total height of 2.58m – this includes a Seitz roof vent at 0.1m which we add to the roof.
The width and ground clearance of both base vehicles is identical;
It’s always important to understand exactly how much you can carry in your campervan, as overloading your vehicle can be dangerous and is of course illegal. All vehicle manufacturers publish a variety of weights and payload information for their vehicles and they are usually described as follows:
With the VW Transporter each vehicle also has a separate number after the letter T which denotes its Gross Vehicle Weight – so a T30 has a maximum weight of 3000kg and a T32 a maximum weight of 3200kg.
How We Calculate Our Payloads
All our calculations are based upon our standard Tiree, Taransay, Cromarty, Sanna and Jura conversions and the overall weight of each of these is the total of the original Unladen Weight, published by Volkswagen, plus the extra weight that we add on when converting the van.
In addition to this extra conversion weight, it is required under European legislation, that when publishing payload figures we must also include the weight of the following items in our final sums – basically these are must haves for your campervan to be used for what it’s been designed!
Full tank of fresh water – based upon 38 litres
Two full LPG Propane 3.9kg canisters
230v mains lead – 10 metres
Remember that any additional VW factory vehicle options you have chosen on your base van, as well as any other internal conversion options, will of course add to the overall weight and so reduce your overall payload, however, as an average passenger is around 75kg, then even with three or four passengers you will still have a considerable payload to take everything you’ll need for your trips away!
