Transporter owners?

[malley]

We have recently bought a lovely T4. Mechanics, belt, suspension and service done. Ply lined.

Now for the interior! Lots of conversion s are done to a very high standard - like a 50s cafe - anyone done anything a bit more " natural"????

Have you had a look on the t4 forum?
Should be a few ideas there..
I've got a t5 but have to use it for work so it's just really a bench/ bed.

 

[malley]

Aye, cheers Tommy. Been on that forum A LOT lately!!

Want a more flexible design - one where it can be used as a day van, for mtbs, dogs, gear, etc most of the time, but able to quickly add a bed and stove for trips away.

Cake and eat it?!?!?!??

That'd do it!

Have a wee look at Amdro for some ideas. LINK.

Don't go the r&r bed route if you want to put bikes in the back... I'd look at a bed going along the sides of the bed with removal table in between if that makes sense??? That way you can slide the bikes down between the two beds...only useful if your going out somewhere for the day as they have to come out to make the bed up.
A bike rack would be easier mind.
I'd try and live with it for a while first... Got to say the best thing I did was buy a kyham awning...

 

[malley]

Cheers. The ones in the link look good.

Tommy - any pics of how you did yours? As you say, it does seem best to take time considering all ideas first. I'm changing my mind every week!!

Malley, mines got a rock and roll bed.
I insulated, carpeted , but a floor in the r&r bed... If you look on the t4 forum on layouts lots of great ideas. I as said wouldn't rush into it as your will prob fund your needs are different to what you think.
I love my pop roof on mine but it does preclude me from putting a canoe on it... which I'd love to do now....
Keep us posted and if you want any advice on suppliers or tips etc let us know .

Happy days

I put a removable hammock stand in my T5;

It's a work van so I needed it to be removable and as a SWB, it had to go diagonal. Lose the bulkhead and put it in a LWB attached to the chassis and there would be room for 2.

Grand stuff!

I'd love a shrafting van.

I only wish I could afford to keep one on the road... I like seeing others though, some really cool stuff out there.

One thing I saw recently was a really nice mitsubishi delica camper with a good suspension lift and decent tyres.

no affiliations etc.etc.

 

[malley]

Yup - that would be canny!!

Tricky on the school run? Or a bonus??

Love that truck - one for an overland adventure.
