Tiree Campervan

The Tiree is one of our VW T6.1 campervans

It features a rear double seat/bed and full kitchen with storage along the driver’s side.

A practical design with lots of space and storage – this VW T6.1 campervan is less than 5m in length making it no bigger than many everyday cars.

In mid 2024 VW will be ceasing production of the T6.1, so we are sorry to say that we are now unable to take any new orders for our Tiree campervan built on a brand new vehicle . A new design van is soon to be launched in conjunction with Ford – as soon as we have details they will appear here!

Campervan with a Pop Top Roof on the road with trees and grass on the background

Jerba Pop Top Roof

Exclusive to our camper van conversions, you won’t find our pop top roof anywhere else. High-End Features engineered to perfection, make our elevating roof an innovative step ahead of the rest.

Campervan Features

Our base price includes a wide range of standard features for both our campervan conversion and the VW T6.1 base van – we also offer a wide range of optional features from which you can choose.

Click a section below for more details.

Our T6.1 standard campervan features include everything you need to set off on a trip – we don’t leave out vital elements, our VW campervans are ready for the road.

The key standard features of our Tiree campervan include:

Elevating Roof
Our own design elevating roof with a maximum closed height of 2 metres, fully removable and breathable Ventile cotton canvas, stainless steel parts and locking closure – only fitted to Jerba VW campervan conversions, we don’t sell our pop top roof to anyone else. A solid high top roof option is also available on the Tiree.

Seats and Bed
Belted seating for 4 (option of 5) tested by Jerba to full Type Approval safety certification, converting into wide bed measuring 120cm x 186cm (with option of 129cm wide and 200cm long). Integrated headrests, contoured seats and flat bed make for comfy travel and sleeping. Cab seats fitted with VW factory swivels to turn and face the rear.

Cupboards and Tables
Side and high level units provide very generous storage that’s accessible with the bed up or down. We don’t simply assemble pre-made furniture kits, we scribe, cut and edge band all our furniture in house which lets us work with you to create a layout that suits your needs.

Fridge, Sink and Hob
An easy to use kitchen area that contains a wide two burner SMEV gas hob with matching glass lid sink, located above a 51 litre fridge that is complete with freezer box. A 38 litre underslung water tank maximises your storage space and gives a plentiful water supply.

Gas & Electrics
A fully sealed steel gas box, top grade Sargent electrical system and individually tested certification from qualified gas and electrical engineers are standard in our Tiree campervan conversion. A top quality VW Varta AGM factory fitted leisure battery system ensures excellent 12v storage and longer battery life.

Insulation & Flooring
With a fully insulated bonded birch plywood floor and side cavity filled with Non Itch cavity insulation we keep you as warm as we can. Our commercial grade non slip vinyl flooring is as tough as it comes, is simple to wipe clean and looks great.

We offer a wide range of optional campervan features on our Tiree – just click on any in the list below to see a more detailed explanation;

  • Awning Rails, Awnings and Sunshades – to attach any awning to the side of your T6.1 then you’ll first need an awning rail. The rail we use blends in to match the van and we stock a small range of high quality free standing awnings and sunshades.
  • Bike Rack – an easy fold down bike rack system that can carry up to four bikes with a tailgate or two bikes with double rear doors. No need to remove the rack when it’s not in use.
  • Cassette Toilet – simple to use and lightweight to handle, we design all our conversions so that the toilet is very easy to access and can always be simply stored out of sight.
  • Grill or Warming Oven – if you can’t be without your toast or crispy bacon then a grill may be a must for you –  but remember that it will be at the cost of cupboard storage space. You can easily make toast though on our Wallas diesel fuelled hob option, so that’s worth a look!
  • Leather Upholstery – change the look and feel of your campervan with full leather seating on the cab and the rear seats.
  • Extra Wide Bed / Travel Seating For 5 – for those whole like an extra wide bed and travel seating for 3 in the back of the campervan. This will upgrade the van to a total of 5 belted travel seats.
  • 2 Metres (6ft 6) Long Bed – for taller customers we offer an increase in the length of the rear bed to 2 metres (6ft 6) in all of our conversions.
  • Slide Window Midge Screen – keep the smallest of biting insects out of your van with our midge screens made specifically to fit rear side slide opening VW T6.1 windows. On the sale of every individual midge screen that we donate £5 to ShelterBox, who supply emergency aid, including mosquito nets, to people around the world who have been affected by natural disasters.
  • Elevating Roof Double Bed for Adults and Children – at 112cm wide, all our elevating roof beds are wide enough for two people to sleep, and with the strength to support 150kg, you’re OK with either adults or children.
  • Roof Rails and Roof Rack for Elevating Roofs – with strength carrying capacity of up to 100kg it’s possible to carry a decent load on the elevating roof – two sea kayaks for instance.
  • Safe Box – with 3mm solid steel sides and a high quality 8 lever lock, our safe boxes are always securely located fully out of sight. Easily big enough for an ipad and other essentials to be hidden away.
  • Solar Panel – 100 Watt Roof Mounted Solar Panel – gives you great independence in the summer months away from a mains supply or the need to drive in order to recharge the leisure batteries.
  • Solid High Top Roof – if you’d prefer a solid high top roof instead of an elevating roof on your campervan, then with our Tiree, Cromarty and Taransay conversions this isn’t a problem.
  • Soft Thermoflex Lining to Beds – this internal lining layer not only makes your bed softer but also allows air to move beneath the fabric and quickly dry out any condensation.
  • Wallas Diesel Fuelled Combined Hob & Heater – for a gas free camping experience try the diesel fuelled hob & hot air heating all in one option – enjoy more boot storage space, an easy clean glass surface, a single fuel source, no gas worries and reduced condensation. There are plenty of positives!
  • Waste Water Tank – there are definite pro’s and con’s to having a waste water tank on your campervan, we hope our explanation will help you decide!
  • Webasto Airtop Hot Air Heating and Cool Blowing Fan – to use your campervan all year around you’ll often find a hot air heater is a valuable friend – we can also adapt heating systems into cooling fans for the hotter summer days.
  • Webasto Thermo Top Evo Combined Hot Water and Hot Air with Optional Shower – blown hot air and continuous hot water from a heat exchanger plate – not a small storage tank. All from a diesel fuelled system. You can even have a shower at the rear of the vehicle.

Van Colours To Choose From

Dimensions

The VW Transporter T6.1 is available in two lengths;

  • Short Wheel Base – total length 4.9m
  • Long Wheel Base – total length 5.3m

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;

  • With mirrors folded – 1.91m
  • With mirrors out – 2.3m
  • Ground clearance – 0.2m

Payloads

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:

  • Gross Vehicle Weight – the overall maximum weight the vehicle can be without a trailer.
  • Gross Train Weight – the overall maximum weight the vehicle can be including a trailer.
  • Unladen Weight – the weight of the manufactured standard vehicle without any options & extras and before it’s converted into a campervan. This Unladen Weight figure includes the driver (assumed at 75kg) and a full tank of fuel, but no passengers.
  • Payload – the maximum weight that can be carried in the vehicle. Basically this is the Gross Vehicle Weight less the Unladen Weight.

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!
