The gastly things were on when we bought it. Thank god for those who take off the Devonports on their conversions.
Oh if only I had that space
This is how my van looks at the moment
No space to the left, and the right side free area is already reserved for water storage for washing the bikes, that's in about phase 22 of my build...
Partially disassembled it...
Oh and while I was there, started on the job of routing wiring through the roof for extra lights, leisure battery monitor, and solar cables.
6mm solar cables routed through the tailgate wiring boot, once I could find the hole into the main headlining area that is. I ran out of electrical tape, I'll tape up the boot later.
MC4 connectors with sealing caps tucked neatly away in the roof rail channel under the awning, ready for solar when I eventually get around to it.
My window bags should be here this week so I need to get at least the rear window wiring in unless I want to be continually fitting and removing the window bags.

Seat covers from Leather Inn - hands feel like I’ve been bare knuckle fighting - worth the effort though.
@MikeWillmott. I suspect the wrinkles will work their way out with a bit of use but please let us know how you get on with these after a bit of time has passed.
@z1ts. How were yours when you first fitted them compared to now?

Precisely! OT is now more of a bouncy castle than a fortress.
@dcpen43 - What is that fitting in the final photo?So after my solo T6 Spring camp
Last year threw the orange "light of death" fridge out and replaced it with a chest fridge. In the camp discovered the 12v cable was long enough for the fridge to go in the Driveaway Awning. Absolute Game changer for food prep but the cable was a trip hazard. Solved with a 12v SAE feed under passenger seat.
Don't ask me why I label everything I guess its a sub conscious Gotham City 'Bat cave' thing. Come to think of it the black illuminated VW sign reminds me of something.

Bike wash water storage- you could use an underslung tank to free up space inside.Oh if only I had that space

Yeah it's something I've considered, I don't need a silly amount of water like the 70l tanks give, 25 or 30l would be enough
Tbh if I was looking at fitting a sub, something like this would be my choice
Basser - FBvw21 VW T5 Multivan/Caravelle Fit-Box subwoofer enclosure
FBvw21 VW T5 Multivan/Caravelle Fit Box subwoofer enclosure Fit box subwoofer enclosure is the ideal way to improve bass in the car. By matching to the vehicle takes little space
sklep.basser.pl
It fits inside the caravelle plastic trim!
It replaces the space in the jack compartment, which lets face it, is a useless jack anyway...
I think an Alpine speaker upgrade, and maybe an amp later down the line, will be perfectly good enough for me.
its an SAE connector for the 12v fridge source.
Takes up less rear space that a conventional Cigarette 12v socket but you need to watch out for polarity as there does not appear to be standard for right or left positive. In my case the positive red on the male was on lhs and in the rhs for this female SAE.
