Whilst I realise you want a basic/simple conversion would you not be better fitting a rock&roll bed. At least you'd then have somewhere to sit at night if you did use it as an occasional camper van.

We have looked at rock and Roll beds and they are exactly not what we are after. This is going to be a van that you could use to sleep in or bring out the tent. If we want proper nights out we will use our small coach built Motor Home. Or our caravan.

Rock and Roll beds effectively take out the ability to use this as a Van and load in lots of stuff.

We may never ever sleep in this van or just on the odd occasion. We also have small blow up chairs that could be used to sit on if we wanted to watch TV for a short while. We might even get a Roof tent but then you run into height issues and car park height barriers.

Lots to think about and we are keeping it all very flexible and just doing the stuff we know we want at the moment.

Did a little bit more work on the Transit Custom today. Fitted some very useful pockets in the rear Barn Doors

So another very simple but seems to be incredible effective product bought for the van £20 well worth the money. Lets see if it leaks

Did a bit more on the Van yesterday (Went out in the Boat today). Me and her indoors had our first go at 4 way stretch carpeting. Quite satisfying it was

Yet more done. If I could get a straight run at this it would be finished in no time. Work keeps getting in the way though

We think it is important to make use of all the space you have on these smaller vans. We therefore just made these side pockets that we think will be very useful. Took quite a while but the weather was poor so we were happy doing this
