Before sales tax $50,000 base model up to $70,000 top model. Plenty of extras to add whichever model you go for. 5 years ago my brother's T5 was pushing $70,000 by the time he added up the options. I think you can add $10,000 easily. It's not a cheap option.

Showed this to my daughter. She said she did not see a place for the. Apparently she didn't watch long enough to see the upper deck sleepin. 

@Eoin can I borrow yours for a week or so when I come over?

@northGAcock I'm a bit protective about my camper and it's not always the most reliable vehicle at 46 years old. Modern T5 or T6 campers like the one in the video are readily available to rent, VWs are definitely the most popular of these smaller size vans.

When are you visiting here and where are you planning on going?

Only kidding my friend. No plans at the moment.

$55k for a 10yr old E350 van?

I'm thinking and hoping that was a misprint. Hopefully they meant $5,000. Gotta admire the guy though. Seems Humble. Then again when you are single, young,and worth millions from playing a game for a living you can afford to give everything away, "find yourself" for a year or 2 on the road and then come back to a lifestyle that most would envy. Living the dream, living the dream.

That's an interesting guy (and article).  I'd rather share a bev with him, rather than anyone in hollywood.

Yeah, I mean, who wants to have a beer with Donald?  He doesn't even drink.
