Volkswagen Transporter T5/T6 SWB L1H1 Side Panels – 5mm Poplar Plywood

VW Transporter T5/T6 L1H1 Linings: the van life benchmark

The Volkswagen Transporter T5 and T6 L1H1 is one of the most popular vans for van life conversions. Its compact but well-proportioned cargo area is perfectly suited for installing wood linings. This kit is cut to the common T5/T6 L1H1 template – compatible with both generations whose interior dimensions are identical.

5 mm Poplar for a neat conversion

5 mm poplar is the natural choice for a converted van: lightweight, stable, and visually warm with an oiled finish. It easily accepts wood screws for attaching furniture, electrical panels, or storage rails. The panels are pre-cut to the exact shapes of the T5/T6 walls – wheel arches, door pillars, roof edge.

Options: door and finish

The T5/T6 L1H1 can have one or two sliding side doors. Please specify your configuration when ordering. Tailgate or double rear door – the kit adapts to both.

Technical questions

Is this kit compatible with T5 and T6? Yes – the interior dimensions of the cargo compartment are identical between T5 and T6 L1H1.

Can I soundproof before installing the linings? Yes – applying acoustic foam to the sheet metal before installing the panels is common practice on the T5/T6.
