Lovely layout,but please answer people’s questions. I’ve seen a few not answered. You seem very professional. It wouldn’t take long. And one answer may be enough for what other people were thinking 👍
Even in demo it looks awkward accessing the storage in the kitchen area. You have to be on the open side as there's very little room to be in front. Can't help thinking side out drawers would give far better use of this space
Midge screen? Not just a Christmas present, I am surprised they are not mandatory in Scotland! Nice van, good layout. Does the diesel heater/Cooker have a separate fuel line/pump from the tank? I don’t like the idea of using gas bottles in a van, but I am probably even more worried about diesel leakage. (I am sure you have good answers about all of this to give me peace of mind). How about solar panels on the roof, and maybe an induction hob? I assume you have standard external 240 volt hookup? Obviously, the van wouldn’t then have a heater (when wild camping - you could use a portable electric one on a site). To be honest, I don’t consider a pop-top to be an “all seasons” van ( and I probably wouldn’t be wild camping anyway). Is there a ladder for the bed in the pop-top?
Very informative video. Love the layout but I think a portapotti on a pullout slider would be a good and them you could put in a toilet tent during the day. Above a tall wardrobe above. I would need to carry two sets of golf clubs and would like them put away. What is the time line for a new one if order placed soon.
Very impressed, would have liked to see how you access the bed in the pop top. We don't have offroad parking for our existing SWB T6 and the local council has a 5.25m length restriction on parking permits so unfortunately we can't 'stretch' to a LWB model.
Much improved cabinetry, not as dated looking but I keep hoping I’m going to see one of your conversions that’s designed just for one or two people! If you removed the two rear passenger seats and put the fridge unit on the other side, where the passenger seat by the door currently is, you’d have an extended kitchen with more workspace and you could have a full length sofa bed on the other side, using the wardrobe side as a bedhead, with reading lights and a shelf for your glasses and phone. It would be a longer, far more comfortable bed than those rib seats and you wouldn’t have to faff about turning seats around and converting into a bed. So much better for a quick daytime nap. You’d also have a seat with a view out of the side door and plenty of easily accessible storage underneath. You could also have a Lagune table mount on the sofa bed, storing the table on the inside of the sliding door. You could still have one swivel seat at the front and a flip up table on the side of the extended kitchen unit opposite rather than having to store a table top and table arm somewhere. Also as the sofa bed would now be partially opposite the kitchen you’d be able to use the kitchen whilst sitting down. At present you’d have to put the roof up to use the hob and make a brew and with the weather in this country there’s many an occasion where you’d want to leave the roof down. Although I must say I think the rear elevation is much better than the front elevation design and I love how it unzips. Having the fridge by the door makes it really convenient when cooking / entertaining outside, and for loading shopping. Or you could put it where the loo is and have a standard camping loo in the extended kitchen or underneath the sofa bed. Having the fridge in the rear where the loo currently is would also be a great location for entertaining and loading shopping and you could have a larder cupboard above, currently unused space. The sink by the back door is a good location. Have an extendable hose with a trigger head as the tap and you’ve got a shower head you can also use outside. Ditch the glass sink top for a wooden insert chopping board and you’ve got more workspace. Putting the fridge at the back would mean losing the loo. I’m not convinced about the benefits of a fixed loo anyway. It sounds convenient but the truth is chemical loos are smelly. That unit takes up so much room and you’ve got to be at a campsite to empty that cartridge and I don’t want that job or to have to clean it. A pee bottle and for emergencies a bivvy loo lined with bags should suffice. We all manage to travel in our cars without an inbuilt loo and there are plenty of public loos as well as loos in garages, service stations, cafes etc. I think I’d prefer using that space for something else rather than carrying my waste around. The diesel hob / combined heater is brilliant. No gas bottle so more storage space, safer not carrying gas, you’ve always got fuel and it’s a dryer heat and produces less condensation when cooking. The sofa bed design I suggest could extend from a single to a small double. The system on this one is marvellous, one handed movement with fixed cushions so no storage needed, and creates a bigger bed in seconds.

It’s what I am looking for and I would imagine there’s a market for solo or duo camper cars. By the way.. you never mention insulation. Do you insulate the vans?
@@foxtrot608 I suppose they’re presuming there’s more call for 4 passenger seats but I also think there’s a huge market for solo and duo travellers, retired people with the time and the money!
