New project? Vito conversion.

[plasticflower]

Mine is a Vito conversion. I wanted to keep the 2 side doors and as I'm short I was able to utilise configuration of seating built along sides over wheel arches which then convert to bed going width ways. My kitchen unit then goes across back of front seats. So I can leave bed up and still have access to all kitchen stuff. (I'll try and post photos later)

My battery is under passenger seat too. Took ages to figure out it was there!

What about headroom / standing up ?

Vito conversion

I am only 5ft 4ins so can almost stand up, but there are so few times when I need to stand it doesn't come into the equation. Tuppence has her kitchen along the back door as it is a hatch-back, so I have been able to make cupboard space under the sink and cooker that can be reached from the inside and from the back door. Then I have cupboards down the right hand side too, one of them housing my leisure battery.
On the opposite side I have the couch which has two layers, the top one is pulled out to make the bed, which can be single or double. I did consider a rock and roll bed, but I too found it took up too much space and a lot of it would be wasted because there is nothing you can do at the back of it, whereas my bed is a 3/4 seater during the day, bed at night and has storage underneath which does not get in the way.
The front of my van is standard 3 seats, battery under passenger seat and wish they had put it elsewhere. Once we are into the new year I will post some photos on here so it would be easier to understand what it is that I have done. I find that I have plenty of room for what I need, even when the grandchildren come with me on trips, or perhaps I have just got used to her now. :lol-053:

Definitely no headroom for me, as its for just a night and the wife has said its just a night, it should not be a problem. With us even if it's for 3 or 4 nights bikes etc get involved there is an old dog and an over tall teenager that's why we have 7 berth for 3 of us! The vito is a bit of fun probably more for me as it takes me back to my early camping days when we would find a field or stay on the beach on a cold windy February night.

Thanks, would be interesting to see photos I only have 2 front seats but need 3 belted at the least.

Just finished mine,kitted out as an overnighter to tour Europe in. Many of the vans had 3 front seats and you can get the double passenger seat to swivel with a kit. Can't wait until June as we are heading to Austria.
