With a build date pencilled in, I’m firming up my conversion plans. Specifying equipment is part of my day job, but the vendors for van stuff seem to be competing for the most opaque product info. I think the marketing brief was “can you make us look like two blokes in a garage with an angle grinder”.
Pop tops - possibly my preferred vendor has a site plagued with circular links, at least 3 different prices for the same item, dimensions missing, no comparative list of variants. Two days of trying on the phone and I got a similarly vague response. Apparently a new site is 8 weeks away. At least they do prices and detail their canvas material. Most of the others miss this bit out.
Tanks - that well known underslung tank company. They must have some CAD drawings, but the public info looks like it was sharpied on a beermat down the pub.
Beds - how high is it? How long folded up? Volume under the seat? No, there’s only one European company that has all that online, and it doesn’t have the features I need.
If I want a full conversion, or a sliding bed that’s twice the price of everyone else, the info is out there.
