Ferns on the wheelbase look at the brochure for loadspace but from memory my lwb is approx 3.3m.

Thanks for the response, but does anybody who has a a crewvan actually put a 3m length of pipe inside it?
Short wheelbase?
I suppose what I'm really asking, is can you physically somehow slide a length of copper through the back door, somehow through the bulkhead, under the rear seats and then through the front bulkhead?
On a normal short wheelbase crew van?

The crewvan has a solid bulkhead behind the rear seats, so unless you cut a hole in it, you can't slide something under the rear seats.
Ther is no 'front bulkhead', but there is a plastic cover on the back of the storage compartment under the dual passenger seat.

If you were to cut a hole in the bulkhead, then you would fit a 3m pipe in.
The non-crew SWB has 3044 loadspace at floor to bulkhead. So you'll have slightly more than that to the rear of the front passenger seat.
This is for a full fat Transit...

I doubt anyone has tried it because crewvan sales are tiny and most people woulnd't then cut a hole in the bulkhead.
