Hi All,
This is my first post. I just bought a 2018 ford transit custom and have started the conversion. I have no experience of converting a van before so will be getting professionals to do the scary things like pop tops, gas and windows but going to have a bash at everyThing else.
Anyone else converting a custom? It would be great to hear your ideas.
I love the layout of the ford transit nugget, which has 3 separate areas for seating, kitchen and sleeping and the ability to walk through the van from rear to side doors. So I am trying to recreate this layout without the expense of a brand new nugget.
So far, the ideas are to
- install a hilo roof, which gives standing room at the back and a double bed in the roof
- Bench seat with table at the front, though this won’t be a crash tested one, I’ll be making it to fit so no back seats in the van, this will be sitting and sleeping only. The swivel passenger seat will create a seating area around a table.
- L-shaped kitchen to rear with fridge, hob, sink and oven - to save space I am going for an underslung LPG gas tank.
- Large locker to rear for kit and various bits of storage stashed around the walls.
Just stripped the van and started the insulation...
