Hi guys!

Iam thinking of buying my 1st camper and quite fancy getting a vw t25. my only concern is that i have 3 kids (7,5,&1) a 4 berth would be ok as the little one can sleep in a hamock or awning. but can t25's be fitted with 3 rear seat belts.

ive seen them with 2 (1 lap & 1 normal) but is it possible to have 3.

any help would be great

Without going into great detail, the vast majority of T25 campers may only have the possibility of 3 lap belts. inertia reel belts might be possible on either side on a few versions which will be left hand drive but 3 normal belts are not possible. You will not get modern safety standards in an 80s vehicle.

Depending on your rear bench layout, I am not sure I agree with the above that 3 full belts is not possible.
I have a VW T2 with a full belt on the right hand side (shoulder point attached just below window) and a full belt in the middle, with the shoulder anchor point attached to the rear pillar by the hatch ( a bit like many modern car with the middle belt coming off the ceiling..).
My rear bench is only 3/4 hence no need for a left side belt, but I cannot see why i would not be able to fit a 3rd belt if I needed to..
So unless the T25 is somehow different I'd say yes it is possible..

Hi, we previously had a T25 westfalia and had 2 inertia reel seat belts in the rear. Both were fitted to the framework inside the side vetilation panel (one had an extra long belt to reach). It worked perfectly with two forward facing child seats. If you have a T25 with units all down the side you will struggle to get 3 people / child seats across the back seat. However, some T25's had a wider rear seat which might be ok for 3.

Try these companies, one of them does a mobile fitting service which we used and were very pleased with the service.

After a brief and fairly disappointing period with a toyota granvia which i have now sold i would love to have a T25 again as there is so much more space.

My T25 had 3 lap seat belts. I agree depending on design you may get 2 inertia and 1 lap.
