Counting down...

[Veema]

Should get my finished camper on Friday!!! Excited and anxious at the same time.

Still need to sort mattress toppers, bedding and an awning and loads of bits and bobs!

I hope I like the finished article...I've got one of those faces that can't hide disappointment.

He's had the video camera set up on it, so will have a little video of the conversion too!!

@Victoria Alletson I remember the excitement before we picked our conversion up a few months ago, could not sleep the night before, felt like a child on Christmas Eve.

We have just bought a mattress topper for our RIB bed. Not sure if you have a RIB in your van but here is the link to it. Really comfortable.

Look forward to seeing your pictures.

A Very nice looking van and we'll load out, see your daughter is pleased

 

[Veema]

Because her seat swivels!

Very tidy, I especially like the rounded profile of the wardrobe.

Next to no storage space...thought there'd be some behind the seat, but there isnt.

It depends on what you want to take with you. You have to think what do you need, what can you get away with and what can you do without. Useing a camper is a whole new ballgame compaired to a caravan

I've got two chairs that fold up really small, a table for sitting at outside and a small cupboard thing for the awning (still need the awning)...have no idea where to store the bedding as I imagined it going behind the seat. I also need somewhere for clothes!

Ah clothes, I forgot ladies tend to bring more than guys afraid I'm no help on that though no admit my wife does not bring a lot more than I do

Looks great - nice one!

 

[PukkaT6]

Lools great but never thought about storage space. I suppose the upside of me taking my mega tent means I can fill the van up.

Id maybe consider a roofbox if I was you.

Looks really good - the layout and styling is similar to what Three Bridge Campers offer - you do get a lot more floor space by having the seat so far back but this comes, as you say, at the expense of storage behind the seats. One thing you could consider once you've used the van, and decided if you do need more storage space, is upgrading the seat bed for something on sliding rails so you can pull it forward to create space behind (I'm not sure how practical this would be to retrofit as I think the rails have to be bolted through from underneath the floor?).

Happy camping - enjoy!!
