TallPaul's Caravelle - MTB wagon!
Progress on the same bit above, it's now almost done. The 2 ducts in place, with one going to the front of the unit, in between the fridge and the back of the drivers seat, leading to a vent on the front. I'll have storage to the right of the vent, big enough for cans of food. Then another...
Normal van/car seating for 4 adults (Inc driver) and space for 2 full size mountain bikes, and a full kitchen with sink, fridge, gas hob. Also space for one person to sleep in the van WITH the bikes inside (yet to be built).
Oh and it's in a SWB caravelle and is all fully removable with zero modifications made to the van.
Quirky enough for ya?!
Literally no one offers this sort of set up so I've had to design and build it all myself.

Nope, a pop top would obviously give a greater bed area, but being a Caravelle it's out of budget at the moment. Maybe I'll look at one in a year or 2 once I've used the van for a bit.
Mine still in the planning stage. Van is a SWB startline 9 seat window van, down to 6 seats currently. 2-3(2/1)-1 configuration
We both like camping but not sleeping on the floor on air beds. Want 4 seats. Dont plan to cook inside so no pop top. Want a full width comfy bed. Will mainly use camp sites with a drive away awning tent.
Looked at RIB / rock and roll / Caravelle seats - all minimum £3k
Current thinking is to use the Kombi single and shuttle middle seats in row 2 to get our 4 seats. Then have a reverse U shape set up with the long row of floor cupboards down the drivers side with maybe a draw fridge / top loader. Short row of cupboards down the passenger side to finish behind the seats with an extra shelf / box to make up the rest of the bed base.
Row 2 seats will come out when we go camping. Standard leisure battery set up and diesel heater.

Yeah it would change everything mate. Definitely worth investing in.

Sorry to jump in here - with the rusty lee beds can you adjust the angle of the seating position?
You mean like recline etc? No I don't think so. But just to ask the question, why would you want to do that?
