Well, enjoy yourself! I'm hoping to do something similar if i can ever find any time to get my Crafter built! Make sure to post some piccies.
The most recent Crafter build sent me this pic from his month long trip to Spain the other day, made me very jealous!!
That looks fantastic, great colour combinations
How do you find the width of the seat when used as a seat? I wanted a 120 2 seat but they only seem to offer the 3 seat 120XL with the glidemotion kit (out of stock also at the moment until 2025). Previously had a shuttle with 3x individual seats and often just removed the middle one to ease access to the rear but the 3rd seat option is 'nice'
Previously owned a caravelle with a full width seat which wasn't needed and made storage difficult and a shuttle LLWB which was great (9 seats) but very inflexible and heavy to remove seats so looking at a sliding option with a narrower seat i.e. glidemotion or california seat.
Currently have a Skoda Kodiaq with cream leather which is very luxurious and comfortable in the rear seats so any downgrades will meet with much complaining!

Originally i wanted a full width bed, but we settled on the 130 rib with the Devanco slim units fitted, been very comfortable and happy with the set up
Pic of interior, thats not a full grown human!
Love the back lit orange VW logo.
I’ve not long finished ( when is it ever finished ) my T6 in the back and I went with the 130cm + slimline units. I didn’t go with a Rib bed I went with a Vulcan slimline, but storage wise it’s pretty good to be honest. I’ve yet to purchase an awning still on the lookout, but me and my wife are taking our son away this weekend for the first time after having it fitted so will see how it goes. Personally I’d rather have the bed room than the storage.

Hi, sorry to jump in but at 6ft 2 does your head touch the roof when sitting in the van. I cant have a pop top due to carrying 2 sea kayaks on the roof. I like the look of the rib but am concerned given some of the height comments I've seen. Im about 5ft 10 but i would say im shorter in the body and longer in the legs if you get my drift.
No my head is clear of the roof bed board when sat in the back of the van.
Am 6ft 2 and can sit in the back with the roof down. My son is 6ft 7 and he definitely can't.
The rib bed is also great for when you have it in the bed set up, as the top third can be elevated so you can sit up in the morning with a coffee and chill.
The foot section does similar, so great if you like your feet slightly raised at night time for sleeping

Sorry to jump on the thread but I'm trying to make my mind up what seating/ sleeping arrangement to have. Has to be full width.
RIB. Are they comfy as seats? I've heard some people say they aren't. The kids will in car seats for the foreseeable but the occasional adult will get in.
Bench seat in the third row. Cheaper option but the extra hassle of fitting seatbelts and a fold out bed system.
Or should I just remortgage the house again and get caravelle seat and rails?
