Finally got 'me baby'

My neighbors cats called Nala and it's a lovely cat. It's a rather long overhang at the rear but a nice van.

Ive got reversing camera's, they are brilliant, I keep them on all the time , theres two, one looks straight down and the other looks right up the road behind you, its makes driving it a lot easier than i every imagined...
 
Just noted that child side seat is not advised and you must advise ins co due to whiplash and sever neck injuries.
All seats for travel must be forward in new vans,i went through all this with veh construction and use when doing my self build which is exempt from belts in rear if i wish though i fitted all seats and got them passed for ins .

Looks like the child seat is just sat there pure coincidence, from a picture point of view. Pic 11 shows forward facing belts within lounge area, which is where child seat would be installed.

True but there should be no side seats fitted in vans these days as belts dont work in that mode.
If it were mine it would be back to get sorted or remove the belt and use seat for static use only.
 
Very nice

Incredible that one so big can be so ( relatively) light. Bet you were pleased at the weighbridge

Froggie 2 is off to be weighed on Thursday, be interesting to compare weights

Enjoy!:juggle:

All the seats are forward facing if you so wish, as its illegal i think to be facing sidewards whilst travelling , due to the horrific injuries that are sustained if you get hit when you aren't facing forward or backwards.

The side seat has a removable part of the cushion, and then a fold away piece of wood folds up which then forms the back of the chair. The seat belts are already fitted in position. The seat is a factory fitted seat belt and conforms to all the regulations.The person then is facing forward whilst travelling.
I would never put my grandchildren in danger, this is why it took some time to be able to find a van with five seatbelt that were factory fitted and legal.

The belts do work, as the seat is adaptable to face forward.

Trev, I just noticed the female part of seat belt system and, from Bentleys above post, pretty clever side seat can be configured to face forward.

If you look under the cushion , you will see a piece of wood which is currently part of the seat about 20 mm thick, well that pulls up into position and then forms the back of the forward facing seat. The female part of the seat belt is towards the floor and the other bit is on the wall.I expect what threw you is the booster seat thats in there facing the wrong way ! However it really is only suitable for a child i think and it doesnt give much room between the drivers seat and the adapted forward facing seat. But it was something that i had to have ........
