Have a look in Argos at the Coleman tent awning.
Its green and costs £29.99.
Their excellent,takes minutes to put up and will fit off the back or side of your van.
I've used mine on my mk1,mk2 and mk3 trannys both high and low roofed theyre bloody excellent :)

you've done a lovely job on your van,nice n neat in there.
in my "new" van i get waved at not glared at ...Yeyyyyyyyyy :)

Hi, excellent conversion, just a quick question, where did you get that tap from? Is it a manually operated tap, if so its just what i,m looking for.
Cheers Chris

Nice work.

Being a minibus I notice you didnt insulate it at all? Is it cold? or are minibusses insulated anyway as stock?

That was exactly what was going through my mind too. I am hopefully going to be obtaining a 19996 extra High Top XL transit minibus to do a conversion with and I would love to know before hand.

Its a fantastic conversion mate. Really neat, well made and looks usable.

What do you mean, No Transits??.. Transits will have been morphed into Cybernetic Humanoid extensions to the civilian race's telekinetic Photon sensing Skelital Frame work.. Transits will rule the World!!!!

Okay okay, I'll hang my head in shame.. :oops:
:twisted: You know it should be 1996
