    A premium Volkswagen Transporter conversion for versatile touring.

    The Volkswagen Platinum Wave is a high-specification campervan conversion based on the T6 and T6.1 Transporter chassis. It offers a refined driving experience with a 4.9m length and 1.9m width, making it suitable for use as a daily driver. With a 3000kg MTPLM and a 550kg payload, it features a side kitchen layout, M1 tested seating, and a signature pop-top roof to accommodate up to four berths.

    • Built on Volkswagen Transporter T6 and T6.1 chassis with a 3000kg MTPLM.
    • Compact dimensions of 4.9m length and 1.9m width for car-like handling.
    • Flexible sleeping for two to four people via a Rock 'n' Roll bed and pop-top roof.
    • Side kitchen layout featuring a 50L fridge/freezer and dual-burner hob.
    • Payload capacity of 550kg for equipment and personal belongings.

    Worth knowing: Internal living space is compact for four adults during extended touring. Pricing sits at a premium level compared to entry-level campervan conversions. Insurance groups may be higher due to the high-spec conversion and VW chassis.

    Buying a Volkswagen Platinum Wave campervan.

    Who it suits

    • • Couples or small families seeking a vehicle that doubles as a daily driver.
    • • Drivers who prefer a car-like experience and compact dimensions for coastal roads.
    • • Buyers prioritising high-end interior finishes like CNC cabinetry and Dometic appliances.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • Strong resale value associated with the premium Volkswagen brand.
    • • High build quality featuring safety-tested seating and gas systems.
    • • Compact 4.9m length allows for easy parking and motorway cruising.

    What to check

    • • Verify the specific cabinetry finish and upholstery options on the individual unit.
    • • Check the operation of the CBE power management system and LED lighting.
    • • Ensure the M1 tested Rock 'n' Roll bed and swivel seats operate smoothly.
    • • Inspect the condition of the scenic canvas on the pop-top roof.

    Worth knowing: Confirm the specific chassis version as conversions exist on both T6 and T6.1 platforms. Assess the compact interior dimensions if planning long-term trips with four adults.

    Compare the Volkswagen PLATINUM WAVE with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Volkswagen PLATINUM WAVE43000 kg4.90 m£45,000 to £75,000
    Panama P/1243000 kg4.97 m£48,000 to £59,000
    Auto-Sleepers Broadway Fb43500 kg6.30 m£45,000 to £85,000

    The Volkswagen Platinum Wave occupies a premium position in the campervan market, focusing on high-end finishes and the T6/T6.1 chassis. While alternatives like the Panama P/12 offer similar dimensions, the Platinum Wave is distinguished by its bespoke CNC cabinetry and M1 tested components. Larger alternatives such as the Auto-Sleepers Broadway Fb or Elddis Evolution provide more living space and higher MTPLM ratings but lack the compact, car-like manoeuvrability of the 4.9m Platinum Wave. The choice between these models depends on whether the buyer prioritises the luxury conversion of a Transporter or the increased volume of a coachbuilt motorhome.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Managing your Platinum Wave conversion.

    • Utilise the 550kg payload efficiently by choosing lightweight camping gear.
    • Make use of the swivel passenger seat to maximise the 1.9m wide living area.
    • Regularly inspect the pop-top elevating bed mechanism for smooth operation.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Overloading the 550kg payload when touring with four occupants.
    • • Neglecting to check the scenic canvas seals before inclement weather.

    Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 550kg; ensure heavy additions do not exceed the 3000kg MTPLM. The 2.05m height may restrict access to some height-limited car parks.
