Red and black! Great retro 80's look mate. No cooker so takeaways is the way to go. Perfect blokes van. Useless for a family and my missus thinks it's made for lads fishing trips.
Good question, and one we get asked a lot. The ideal position for the seatbelts would be at the very back of the van facing forwards. If you have two people facing forward their legs would be pointed into each other at a bit of a diagonal to miss the cabinets. Unfortunately there is no ideal solution to fit people comfortably without compromising either safety or cabinets. Our recommendation for those wanting seat belts is to fit a rock and roll style bed.
Interesting and good to see something a bit different, not sure about the staggered bed layout though...can see my knees/shins getting battered during the night!😅 also think youd definately want rear panel windows to optimise the lounge area.
Surprisingly the cupboard vs shin has only happened once, luckily quite lightly too! We mainly sleep on the main bit with just our shoulders into the wider section. Our demo van has the rear windows to maximise the seating view and works well. Although I haven’t cut the tailgate window as I like to lean against that while in bed.
If you wanted this layout I’d recommend you had a LWB van. That way you’d have a bed that was over 6ft in length. They end up with approximately 1900mm of usable space. The SWB van is always going to be a compromise of bed length vs how much the units protrude into the door opening.
Yes two seat belts in this one. You could have the double passenger seat which would give you three. These are really designed for when the kids have left!
Looks great!, Quick question, the kitchen unit on the non drive side I take it that could be adapted to put the other sliding door side, just looking for inspiration for my build :)
Yeah for sure. The U-shape is actually more of a J so the passenger side is longer. You could have a small cabinet, ie the size of the fridge next to the longer section. We’ve also made both sides the same length and reversed round for LHD vehicles so lots of possibilities.
Looks amazing, I have just had this layout fitted to my Renault trafic. Can I ask how the support leg is fitted to the corner of the bed? Ours doesn't have one and definitely needs it!
I would definitely recommend you have one or the corner won’t be supported at all if you put weight on it. We fit a flip down leg with a hinge so gravity takes it when you flip the panel over. The hinge supports the leg once down.
