Team Westfalia Sven Hedin

[Cgtmiles]

Hi All
Thought I’d made a Sven team page to see how many owners are on here. I see there are a few threads about the Sven over the years but maybe this could help pull us together

Anyway here is our (shortly to be) new van

We have one final trip planned in our T6 then we will collect this when we get back!

I have also signed up to the owners club facebook site so I’m not sure who is on there too (hate FB but needs must!)

The FB group has also arranged a owners club meet at the western warner show in August and I think there is a few places left for anyone interested

Anyway, let’s see those vans!

I've had two but have moved on to pastures new. The Sven Hedin has increased in popularity in the last couple of years.

Seemingly this forum hasn’t though!

Ok so maybe just me then!

Anyway, last night the T6 sold along with all the awnings and stuff and today is the day when we should be picking up the new van!

Doubly big day today as my daughter is also getting her a level results, crazy days. More to follow

Yep, another one here. Same colour as your van - it's the actual 2025 van featured in Will and Sarah's video comparing theirs with the newer model.

6000 miles in since last October when we picked it up from the dealer in Yorkshire. No issues apart from the touch sensitive reading lights don't stay off, my suspicion is there's noise on the electrical circuits that's given off by the solar panel as fitted by the dealer. Got to the extent I've prised out a couple of the worst offenders and discconnected them. Getting it recognised by MAN UK was a little tricky but eventually after emailing MAN UK after sales, they got it registered so the warranty and breakdown recovery is now live.

Now running Michelin CC Agilis all seasons on the standard MAN alloys.
