T4mation: campervan conversion parts for VW Transporters

T4mation is an online shop specialising in parts and furniture for converting Volkswagen Transporters into campervans. Its catalogue is organised around the T4, T5, T6 and T6.1 generations, and also extends to Ford Transit Custom and Caddy models. The company presents itself as a community of VW owners and enthusiasts rather than only a retailer, and frames its offer around what it calls T-F-S: Time, Freedom, Stories.

The range covers both the furniture that defines a camper interior and the exterior upgrades that change how the van looks and performs. The store describes its furniture as UK-built and its installations as DIY-friendly, and states that orders are dispatched quickly.

Kitchen units and bed packages

Kitchen furniture is one of the central lines. T4mation lists complete DIY kitchen units for the VW T4 in a range of finishes, including gloss grey, super matt grey, dark wood stripe and smoked ash, with options such as solid oak, bronze or gloss yellow worktops and tambour-door versions. Prices shown in the catalogue at the time of writing sit around £1,200 to £1,400 depending on the configuration, and both SWB and LWB variants appear.

For the T5 and T6, the shop groups its offer into units and pods, alongside combined bed-and-units packages. A matt green lightweight ply kitchen paired with an R&R bed is presented as a way to combine cooking space and sleeping space in one build. The catalogue also includes a 12v compressor fridge of 50 litres as a standalone component.

Pop-top roofs and window blinds

Pop-top roof kits form a separate section, with options for a universal front lift, a traditional front lift for the VW T4, and side-lift kits for the T4, T5 and T6. The store presents the side-elevating roof kit as a way to add headroom and versatility, describing it as straightforward to install and durably built.

Under the Blind Podz name, T4mation sells window blinds for privacy, with versions listed for the VW T4, T5, T6, T6.1 and T7, as well as for Ford Transit Custom models from 2013–2023 and from 2024 onwards. The blinds are priced at £130 in the catalogue.

Lighting, suspension and T4 mechanical parts

Beyond conversion furniture, the shop stocks styling and mechanical components. The lighting range includes DRL headlights for the 1990–2003 short-nose VW T4, described as MOT compliant, in chrome and black variants and with LED indicators; sequential-indicator DRL headlights for the T5.1; and red and smoked rear light bars advertised as producing no error code.

Other T4 parts listed include a double battery tray, a combined battery tray with battery and split charger kit, bonnet gas struts and Faulkner springs. A suspension section and a dedicated T5/T6 styling section complete the mechanical and appearance offer.

How the shop is organised

The site is structured by vehicle generation and by product family, with separate collections for T4 units and pods, T5/T6 units and pods, pop tops, Blind Podz, VW T4 parts, T5/T6 styling, Caddy and suspension. Customers can order online, and the store also offers a booking option for a call. Prices are displayed in pounds sterling, with a currency selector offering US dollars, euros, Indian rupees, Bangladesh taka, Japanese yen, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars.

The company also maintains a trade section and a blog, and runs a newsletter for new arrivals and updates.
