What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[PapaJay]

This is awesome, great work, is it the right if he to support the ovano in bed mode?

So… short answer is no.

I added the raised backing to prevent anything coming through the gap on trips. I was also going to add a storage net as well.

Without the backing the unit is the right height for the bed to come down, pure chance rather than design!

It would be easy enough to have another replaceable backing that could be swapped around for bed use. Or version 2 needs working on with a bit more design thought

Bit of a labour of love this one.

We had our 2+1 back seats changed for a 1+1+1 set-up to give us more options with how we use the van. One of the options I wanted was to remove the middle seat and have a central unit so the back seats had more usability storage especially for longer trips.

I'd searched and couldn't really find anything on the market and after getting the Ovano unit was inspired to just do it myself.

Quite happy with the first attempt. There are two sections underneath for bags etc... along with an elastic storage net in each section. On top I added some drinks holders and maybe in the long run I'll run a usb charger to the unit.

All secured to the seat floor mounts using M6 J Hooks so it aint going anywhere.

Amazing work. I presume the height is such that the Ovano sits on top - in which case will provide more support than the seats folded down.

Thanks mate! If I removed the back section then I think the Ovano would sit flush across the unit

Very nice you could possibly put back section on a hinge perhaps

VERY nicely done

Bit of extra storage for the week away. Stealthy brackets homemade since couldn't find anything right online.

No it’s a bike and surfboard carrying machine/changing room on wheels for now
Just nice to have it insulated and lined to keep it from feeling like a builders van.

Well not just today but yesterday aswell. I removed the headlining seats and front seats, fitted shark fin aerial, sound deadened the roof and cab floor then insulated them. I've rebuilt most for now. Also half installed the halo 11 I had. Just need to get some screws and another cable then can finish stereo install.

Well, after just over a year of regret (since selling my previous T6) and feeling sad every time I saw one of you coming the other way in your Transporter, we are back with a bang - she is lowered with STX coilovers and sitting on some Canteras…. just waiting on the centre caps

Is this easy enough to fit? Can you let me know how much this cost, PM if you prefer.

Get in touch with Jason @Absolut5 for pricing depending on your headunit I believe

Fitting , I’ll keep you updated , I don’t see it being that difficult once roof panels and pillar covers are removed

My pillars and head lining are currently removed which is why I though I’d ask the question. Must have missed this when I was working out the extras I need to do when the van was apart in bits.

Front and rear sensors fitted today, lads were great, Adam in particular.

Yeah made a massive difference, only problem is because I've only done roof and cab area first the noise from the rear wheel Road noise is deafening. So I will be doing the rear floor, doors and rear inner arches very soon.
