Joining the chat now that I've got my 2018 Tourneo albeit a little 'non-standard' as it's an ex WAV so a bit more work needing doing on the back of mine to lose the ramp. Thanks to helpful people on this site I've got some info and tips to go on when I get a secure place to work on it.
Question for those with a front passenger double seat - has anyone tried the Custom Shop Designs swivel (Kiravans don't do a double swivel - yet)?
This one?
https://www.customshopdesigns.com/produ ... uk-model-1I'm wondering about getting one of these but assume that I'd lose the underseat storeage 'box' area if I do? I mean, the space would still be there but not the enclosure - or, am I wrong and you can retain this - but access the swivel fixings from within the box? I guess it would have to be clear of extraneous items to allow the swivel to work though...
Also, am looking for bed solutions and the Infinity design had me excited until... I realised that it takes up tons of space - basically the whole of the area behind that first rear seat row. I'll need some of that space to carry bikes/kayaks etc so I'm looking for a design that is much more compact in length - probably more folds - that just sits at the back.
Looking at Campal for their bespoke solutions - I do like the idea of the slide out cooker business underneath the tailgate.
https://campal.co.uk/campal-split/This is what I'm hoping to replicate - my bed solution for my (sadly non ULEZ compliant) VWT4 kombi. It worked a treat. I had wider boards for when there were two of us, and an extra fold out mattress. So simple. Bit of a faff to set up quickly as it involved taking things out the van etc but cheap, effective and so comfy.
A couple of pop ups and two identical boards resting on them. You can see where the two boards meet in the second image. Both just lay on the pop ups without any problems - the front one obviously lying on top of the seats at the front.
Some non-slip rubber matting to stop squeaks etc and the fold out mattresses were from somewhere like IKEA ages ago.
The only thing was accessing my stuff under the pop ups but of course, the Tourneo has double side doors.

Not sure about the image embedding - my pictures are HUGE - so this is the link to my pics on Flickr:

Has anyone taken down the trim to insulate behind? I want to put sheeps wool in - it's what I used in the T4 and it was fantastic for sound and most importantly thermal, insulation.
I actually used hemp for the roof - it was all in a kit from AMDRO but they don't sell it anymore as you can readily get the sheeps wool from B&Q.
I've got the prying tools and have heard about the strong magnets in the roof lining to hold the middle up so I'm getting ready to give it a go.
Any tips and/or advice would be gratefully received before I make a start.
Looking forward to getting away in it. Loving the tip up rear seats already - so much extra space in the back.
Oh, but when I go off camping alone I've a mind to turn the back seats around so that they'll be facing the tailgate to act as a sofa. Plus, I can actually stretch out across them when they're all folded down so I'll be working on an ultrasimple bed idea that just incorporates the seat backs.
More when I get going on it.
