the bedding stays.I have had vans for over 50 years and find this the best for a couple with a small van.The only problem is
if the one next to the doors needs the portaloo in night.

this is a great project.Good luck to all involved.


In my van I installed a webasto sun roof from a mk2 escort complete with frame.I did this so at shows or events I could stand up inside the van and view the goings on from a slightly higher viewpoint in the comfort of my van.
Also it is nice on a sunny day and would let plenty of light into a xlwb van like the one you are buliding

:D

how about this idea for the interior :?:

:arrow: :arrow: :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuhzmaAY ... re=related

mabe not bother with the crystals but we could cover the panels like that (mabe just the top half??) and it doesnt look too tricky or expensive :?

to hide the screw heads we could use these :arrow: Image

i'm thinking of doing my van this way :D
