Conversion interior advice needed!!

[sparkes1210]

Hi, after some advice please if possible on options for conversion of my T6.
I've changed the front seats for 2 captains chairs which are perfect.
The plan (in my head!) is to have bench seat in the back but I'd like a cupboard with power installed under the window on the drivers side (opposite the sliding door).
I've seen on loads of images that if you have a bed installed, the seat sits over the wheel arches but if a row of seats is installed then this sits in-front of the wheel arch.
Problem is, if I have the row of seats installed in front of the wheel arch, it doesnt leave any room for a cupboard?

Any suggestions or anyone done anything similar.

What is the cupboards purpose? To provide a place for a consumer unit and fuse board etc? If so why not build it into the seat base?

If you want storage but keep the seats where they are my only suggestion is a top locker above the window.

right im doing....
up front x2 captains..
behind that a nearside outer single and a middle single.. pod goes to right of these under window with hob, fridge sink microwave, small gas tank, water etc....my night heater mounted underneath also exits through this in to rear cab...
behind this..another row of singles....far right bottom clasps modded to have the pull cords from a centre single so can pull chords and it pops up (close behind pod on right)....but like it being in there to sit on the lot sofa styleeee..
plus...i lob clothes bags there...plus...i need for..
van king style bed at rear of this... but not there's....i'm making own bespoke...

so.... i will prob use without the second row seats in most of time...will use fronts and third row .....
we have space to sort little one into baby seat...room to get to pod, dog bed etc etc...
and if i need more seats..i merely grab them two out of the garage and click them in.
rug made to measure for over the floor mounts to cheer the job up...

kombi, people carrier come day van come overnighter...
pics when i can... in middle of and pods not in yet...all thats in stoorage from my old t5 and needs mods to fit with new setup etc..

hoep gives another idea?

by the way i have a front double bench that i modded the base so it could go in the rear... and i have the unwin rails for it..
an inch was removed from the rear height so it sits level/straight in the rear.. and moves back and forth...and fits next to pod..
this was my idea.....then we started having babies....plans change...for sale if interested...message me
