Fits on Volkswagen Transporter Caravelle/Multivan/Combi

Some vans, like the Volkswagen Transporter, are equipped with a rear bench, sometimes with a partition separating the front of the vehicle (driver's seat and passenger seats) from the converted space in the back, optimizing the conversion and interior space.

The tourism model is available in several finishes, including:

  • The Combi, simply finished, which can be used as a van or bus to carry up to 9 passengers.
  • The Multivan, better finished inside, equipped with removable benches or seats that can slide on rails embedded in the floor. Some seats are rotatable.
  • The Caravelle, intermediate between the Multivan and the Combi, with non-sliding benches.

Also fits on extended cab Transporters

The utility version has only 2 or 3 seats at the front, usually with a partition separating the back.

The utility model also comes in 5 or 6 seats; they are called "extended cab" and are available in 3 types:

  • Fixed extended cabs with fixed seats and a fixed partition at the back.
  • A removable rear bench with or without a partition.
  • Independent removable rear seats, sliding or not.

In these extended cab vehicles, we can install a sleeping space of 1.58 meters wide by 1.84 meters long only if the Length is: L2.

Which Transporter should you buy for a van conversion?

It all depends on your taste and your needs:

If you rarely go to city, the L2 version will give you more space. If you frequently visit the city, then stick with an L1 for easier parking.

If you prefer well-finished and equipped vehicles, choose the Multivan or Caravelle model for a camper van ideal for camping.

When your priority is multi-use, meaning a vehicle that can carry many passengers while also being used to transport professional gear, you'll have several options. Go for the Combi to carry up to nine passengers; or choose an extended cab utility for a maximum of 6 passengers.

If you want to occasionally convert your Volkswagen Transporter Diesel (auto or manual transmission) into a camper van, go for removable benches or chairs.

Lastly, if you always travel with 2 or 3 people, choose the utility version for the most affordable van conversion kit (lower price).

What's the price of a converted Transporter?

By choosing the Combeing solution, you opt for a modular van conversion, designed and manufactured in France with high-quality materials. The average price is around €3,500, but the price varies depending on the finishes, options, and accessories selected when configuring your converted Volkswagen Transporter.


Unlike motorhomes or fixed van conversions, which range between €60,000 and €90,000 (California, Westfalia…), our modular concept offers a much more affordable alternative. This kit allows you to travel while optimizing the space and comfort of your vehicle.

Used converted Transporter?

One option available is to purchase a used Volkswagen Transporter (check ads) with low mileage (or high) and install our Combeing conversion. This solution is entirely removable and modular with many compositions.


When changing your diesel Transporter van (auto or manual transmission), you can sell the converted vehicle or keep your kit and use it on your next van, with only the floors potentially being modified.

Adjust your sleeping space according to your needs

With the patented Combeing concept, you no longer need to worry if the sleeping space will be big enough. The proposed length is 184 cm; but it can be extended to 2.10 m for taller people.

If I travel alone, I would like to make space for my bike; so a single bed of 53 or 79 cm wide will be enough. I can sleep peacefully with my bike inside the converted van, as it's safe from theft.

Traveling alone with my bike is possible with Combeing

And if I travel with my best friend, I don't necessarily want to share my bed with them! So, with the kit, I can set up 2 separate bunks in my converted Transporter.

Making 2 bunks in a van is fully possible

But when traveling as a couple, we enjoy luxury! A Queen-size bed of nearly 160 cm wide (wider than in a California, for example). Sleeping space is truly a luxury when two people share a small volume. It's even possible to sleep 3 adults on a 160 cm wide bed.

I had put my kit in the basket. Sent an email with a question, Mathieu called me straight away, and even advised me on a better configuration. Appointment made 2 days after installation, with removal of my partition. And I was so well received that I added the kitchen module. A lovely, warm team. Go there with your eyes closed. I'll go back and do my insulation later... Thanks again... Sandra

We ordered our kit in September 2023 for our Opel Vivaro H1L2, we have used it well and made it profitable since. Received on a pallet with a very fast turnaround. A smooth and simple installation with several layout choices. We do not regret our investment. The materials after a year and a half are like new, you just have to take care of them. I recommend ??

We bought a Combeing kit a few months ago for our VW T5 transporter and we are very satisfied with it! Delivery was free and fast. Customer service is top notch, whether for information or responsiveness. The kits are adaptable to your type of vehicle but also to your use whether it is road mode, night mode or day mode (with table). Very good value for money. We highly recommend. And a big thank you to Mathieu for sending goodies!!

A great team, a high-quality product, a very competitive price. We sold our converted van because our annual usage time did not justify such an expensive investment. We bought a utility vehicle that we converted to our taste with the possibility of modifying its configuration according to our needs following the many very professional tips received from COMBEING. The team took the time to welcome us into the company and to assemble our modules in order to have a tailor-made layout with everything necessary to live independently: gas, water point, electricity, toilet, solar panel, shower... In short, everything necessary to live pleasant moments according to our desires without having to have our vehicle approved in VASP. Thanks again to the whole team for their welcome, their availability and their professionalism which really deserve to be highlighted

Really great, the team is really cool, the products sold (sports kit for VW T6 for me) are really great (but I didn't doubt that, I had already planned everything thanks to their website, but with their advice I made some changes that suit me better). I also did the sprayed cork insulation before going to get my kit, super simple and beautiful rendering. I really recommend more than ever. Thank you and good luck in your new premises.

I was looking for a van that could be used as a daily, utility or leisure vehicle and with the Combeing Full kit, I found exactly what I wanted for my L1H1 van. I spoke several times with Mathieu and Raphaël, their listening, their responsiveness and their availability as well as their advice and services were very valuable in guiding me in my choices... In short, very well-made kits, easy and quick to set up, as well as a great team mean that I highly recommend this friendly company...

We made an appointment, Mathieu welcomed us warmly and showed us around the workshop, then we went to the selection area to recap and make the quote. We had all the necessary technical explanations as well as his advice and feedback. The guy is sincere and super professional. Our choice validated, he helped us throughout the time needed to set up the modules. Again, lots of advice and tips, thanks to him. I thought the idea was absolutely brilliant on paper but it's even better in the van, the possibilities are endless, the quality is great, everything is thought out down to the smallest detail. In the end, it confirms that with my 1m70 we can sleep across without any problem and therefore keep the table in place during the night. Conclusion: we are satisfied beyond our expectations. Thank you COMBEING, thank you to the brilliant inventor and thank you Mathieu for your advice
