A very productive day. When I put the seat bases in i used a flat bit and sunk 2 5mm magnets in to the panel. Click and forget. Strong as well so no rattle but easy access.

The interior . . . .
well after flip flopping and u turning way to many times.
i think we have a made a decision.
the 120 bed seems to have been phased out.
we made up our bed with storage boxes to simulate the standard 2/4 112 bed width, and well have to make do.
there will always be the rull width bed in the roof anyway if things get too tight.
weve decided to downgrade from the rails system, and upgrade the bed from the RNR to the RIB.
there are many reasons for all the above. but the long and short is the rail system is way more expensive and needs a pro fitter to be done properly.
where as the other options, i can do myself - with some help.
ie
remove kombi 1+1+1 system, seats, brackets, seatbelts, floor etc.- offer for sale on T6F
remove the OVANO - offer for sale on T6F
install one piece floor,
install flatpack kitchen cabinetry,
install fixed RIB bed.
well get prices for fitting as well. - but the first place we spoke to wanted £500 just to remove the kombi stuff!!
+++++++++++
so what we looking at?
this slate grey / dark grey panels with Oak worktop and splash back.
soft close, pop out buttons,
high level lockers
and the Boss wants the pull-out draws under the bed.
+++++++++
as we both decided we didnt want to do cooking inside,
but water and sink WAS required,
a lot of these builds come with the Dometic 9222 or whatever it its call, so we thinking about getting that fitted, and either not using the gas hob,
or maybe just hooking up a C500 can as at temp?
we are also very interested in the Microwave thing, as well as out small kettle and CTIZ coffee machine.
i think well just have to get it fitted. . . then just find out where to put stuff.
+++++++++
theese guys also off the floor as well, 9mm or 12mm etc.
......
as for the bed. . .
it seems that the RIB Altair 112 is best suited for us.
+++++++++++
so we might be able to get the floor, bed, and kitchen for 4-6K.
++++++++++
now we need to get some prices together,
and one place is in Thetford, only 2hrs away from us. for an eyeball.
.
+++++++++++++
the other big deal is . . . poptop or interior first?
we know we would like the VANMAX poptop.
so was planning on getting that fitted first, and having the interior done next?
thoughts?

your 1+1+1 is also worth a pretty penny so could recoup some of the cost of the RIb
great idea. . . ill bear that in mind.
i have a load of neodymium magnets that would work.
can you post a few pics of yours and how/where you fitted them pls.
yes, thats what i was hoping . . also the OVANOs have very good resale value.
Why wouldn’t you get the roof done first? You can then trim before fitting the kitchen. Apart from anything else you can pop it to make fitting the interior easier
yes, that's the plan - roof first (vanmax), then floor, bed, kitchen after.
was asking opinion's to see if people agree.

Can I ask what pattern is on the 1+1+1? Could be interested to change for my 2+1 set up.
I've just been doing the same Kombi to camper but have kept one set of brackets and the seat belt so it stays as a five seater, just removing the single seat when we’re overnighting to give room for the R&R bed
I got my one piece floor from Vanbus on here it is a good quality ply and an excellent fit, he cnc cut round the seat brackets etc for me and I would recommend them
Hurry up please as I would like to follow your kitchen fitting tips etc

I remember going back and forth on the rails, debating the trade-off between bed width and storage. Ultimately, I couldn’t justify the extra expense, especially with concerns about the grooves and little toes.
Honestly, since having the RIB installed and fixed, I haven’t once had a real need to move the bed. I’m sure you’ll be absolutely fine without it too.
And I definitely wouldn’t want any less storage, storage is invaluable in a small space!
Where you getting the Vanmax fitted?
