Temporary Bulkheads

[Strettyp]

Does anyone know if there's a low cost temporary bulkhead solution out there, which allows you to put it in and take out in a few minutes, in my head the space behind the passenger seats in a kombi is a uniform shape so it would be a common thing to cut with a CNC machine and carpet

I'm looking for something that means when I'm ferrying the family around the noise is reduced and the cabin warms up more quickly, then at the weekends I can just slide the thing out and use the full length of the van

I've seen the exploria one here but it's over £500 which is quite a bit more than what I want to pay for a board with a carpet lining

Surely this must be quite a common need for kombi owners?

Hey, did you ever find a solution for this?

That'll do half the job!

I'm prepping a T6 for us to use primarily for work (flight cases, heavy box loads etc) but then 4 weeks in the year to stick the back seats in and holiday in. Hence the thinking of a removable bulkhead.

Motexion do fibreglass bulkheads which I believe are reasonably quick and easy to fit and remove and may be a bit cheaper.

Their website looks good, the window grilles are a good shout too to make sure boxes don't go through the windows! Can't work out where to order their stuff from though

Think they only supply dealers if you want a new one, although secondhand ones come up on here occasionally.

Really?! That sounds awesome! Where, how, when?

Mine sits behind back seats as I keep it as a kombi as backs enough for my tools but occasionally need it out for longer materials

That's exactly what I'm after. I can't see any available to buy however!

 

[red-gloved-rider]

Unless it's this one? How does it fit?

Tidy, thanks @Chippie1 ! Unfortunately I'm all the way down in sunny Bristol, bit far from Pontefract... I'll think about shipping options!

Fellow Bristolian!!
If you type bulkhead into search bar loads of info and some adverts still which doesn’t say sold! Mine may be up for sale in next couple of months as I’m plucking up the courage to purchase an ovano system

Cheers drive.

I might buy yours then - conversion booked in for mid Feb. Think I can mount it behind driver (for van use), then relocate for behind the crew seats for holidays? Or do I need two different units? It'll be used as a van for 45 weeks of the year.
