Kombi camper conversion

Got the heated seats connected up today, just in time for the winter
R&R bed ordered from Rusty Lee's and will be fitted next month........would like to think it's almost finished but the list it's getting longer rather than shorter...... :rolleyes:
 
Obligatory T6 license plate added.....thanks to my Mrs for the xmas gift ;)

Is your bed fitted yet. Would love to see photo showing space available underneath. Can't decide between Exploria Kombi Bed or Rusty Lees
 
Swapped the factory H4 headlights for H7's today
Not the best job at this time of year when your laid on your back on a concrete drive
Done though and am happy with the results
Led's fitted in the drl's & side lights along with Night Breakers in the main & full beam

Rock & roll bed supplied & fitted by Rusty Lee's.....well impressed
Next it's off to Spartan upholstery to get it measured up to match the front seats

I've added the photos you wanted @Another planet, there's nothing underneath that will get in the way of storage, I'll be adding some ply & carpet lining under there with some panels for access

Also fitted the spare wheel replacement after the original got nicked :mad:
Added a locking bolt & security shroud to hopefully stop it happening again

Thank you very much. Looks fabulous. More space than I realised - for snowboards, paddleboards & lots of other toys. Did you get crash tested or non?
 
Non tested, it will hardly ever be used as a seat as both my kids have thier own cars so couldn't justify spending the extra
Spoke to Rusty Lee's at the time of ordering and they assured me this is just as well made, just not as heavy gauge metal
Plus the tested version is higher at the back so by the time I've got headrests in I wouldn't see out of the rear window

Those photos show loads of space - leaning towards Rusty Lee now. Just noticed you had rear windows put in. Trying to decide whether to have them or not. Are you very happy. All the light and views must be fabulous
 
That's exactly why I had them cut out, was gonna go for the fake ones just for show, but decided as I'm not having a full camper the extra light would be nice, plus when your parked up and sat in the back you wouldn't be able to see out
The guy who did them said it would be same price whichever I decided as it's only 10mins work, so I went for them cutting out
Obviously though, if you have a full camper you would probably have cupboards in the rear, so fake windows would be best

Going for full width bed - no cupboards - going to check price with guys doing the work now. Thank you very much for info

Sorry to bother you again but could you possibly tell me measurement of space from floor to bottom of metal bar when extended? Trying to figure out if I could fit a fridge underneath when extended. Have you chosen a fridge yet? Figured out where to put it? Thank you very much.
 
I dont think I'm having a fridge under there, for the amount of camping I'll be doing I'm just going to get a cool box as I don't want a fridge in there all year round just for a dozen or so uses
This link is the type of thing I'm intending to do under mine......this guy has a dometic slide out fridge under his bed if you check his other vids....

I'll add the measurements later :thumbsup:

These are the measurements with it laid into a bed
The higher measure is where the foot of the bed is
The lower measure is the frame (that's what you'll have for storage/fridge)
Last 2 photos show how much space you have left when its flat

Engine & battery cover fitted today
Wasn't sure I could justify the cost for 2 bits of plastic, but the before & after does make a big difference so am glad I did it
