Hi all,
After some advice from those that have been there and done it!
I've got my LWB T6.1 into a half-decent position now, where it's ready for electrics/furniture, and I've come to the conclusion that my initial layout may not be the way forward (notably due to cost). I've a factory Kombi with front captain seats, and a rear bench, and my initial plan was to replace the bench with two single RIB seats, to facilitate our kids when traveling, and they'd lay flat for beds in the evening (the wife and I would be in the pop top).
However, the cost of the x2 RIB single seats was too much for me to swallow, therefore I'm re-thinking my plan. I am now thinking I'd have the two captain seats up front (I still need to add a swivel to the drivers seat), keep the factory bench seat behind, to transport the small-people, then have a U-shape style social area at the back, where we'd eat/play and ideally cook.
Similar to this image - Tailgate to the left of the pic, with potentially a small double sized bed length ways covering the long storage, other storage and porta-loo spot, which would be seating down the drivers rear side and behind the bench seat, and an area (potentially slimline) to cook with via a gas hob, and a small sink to wash up/brush our teeth.
We will, at some point have a tent off of one of the side doors too, for additional storage/living space.
Appreciate your experienced thoughts!
, but for the price of the 2 RIB seats I can pretty much cover the furniture, and electrics - hence the pontification!
