Are Transporter Camper Vans cost-efficient to own and operate?

Yes, in general. However, you might need to pay attention to the model of choice. For example, the T6 model benefits from Volkswagen’s Bluemotion Technology, which is designed to reduce fuel consumption. Moreover, the T6 transporter camper can also come with regenerative brakes that store energy lost during braking, and then uses it later to accelerate or start, thus burning less fuel to get going.

Depending on each specific model, Transporter Camper Vans come with different features. Some Transporter models offer perks, such as a 5-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port, a heated windscreen, and an automatic driving light control, which is ideal for long drives. Other model-specific premium features include parking sensors, a digital radio, colour-coded bumpers, and a leather multifunction steering wheel. Check the manufacturer's site for exact details.
