Description
Conversion done in 2023 when I bought the van. Click through images for photos of full vapour seal - fibreglass insulation - secondary seal underneath the wooden cladding.
Bench/bed that pulls out into a full size double. Lots of storage.
We are 5'11 and 6'3 and fit comfortably. When the bed is in 'single' mode, you can fit 2 large mountain bikes into the back of the van.
I decided against a cooker and electrics as it's a weekend van, and I prefer to use a camping stove outside. There is a cable running from the battery to the back behind the cladding, if you want to add electrics.
See below for works done on the mechanics to get it to where it is today. Any questions, just ask.
I am selling reluctantly as we are having a baby and need to buy a car suitable for child's seat.
