If you’re driving a VW Transporter in North Wales, rust can become your worst enemy. Known for their versatility and iconic design, Transporters often suffer from corrosion — especially around the sills, arches, and underbody. Fortunately, Kinmel Campers specialises in VW Transporter rust repair in North Wales, offering professional solutions that restore the integrity and value of your campervan. Whether you’re a weekend adventurer, full-time vanlifer, or family camper, we’re here to get your van road-ready again.
Why Rust Is a Major Problem for VW Transporters
Rust isn’t just a cosmetic issue — it’s a structural and safety concern. Especially with ageing models like the T4, T5, and T6, you’ll find that:
- Sills and arches trap moisture, leading to hidden corrosion
- Factory underseals often degrade, exposing the chassis
- MOTs can be failed due to visible rust or weakened panels
Ignoring the problem can mean costly repairs later, or worse, an unroadworthy van. That’s why early inspection and professional repair is essential.
