How long is a piece of string?

i did mine with a 2nd hand t25 one but you can get new ones now, i cut the bulkhead off and made a frame for the existing seat

 

I have not done swivel seat myself but understand that most of passenger bulkhead is removed just leaving a corner to retain some strength. You then need a swivel to mount passenger seat on

EDIT ^^^^ there you go!

 

Yeah the earlier devon interiors were impractical really, luckily I have a late moonraker one that's perfect, be careful removing it as I've seen them sell for a bit on ebay

 

Thanks Matty - looks like you have been through the full process looking at your other photos...... loving the layout of your interior.

 

Lord Congi - it will be advertised as a kit once I have got it all out and cleaned it up. I did think it might be worth something to someone and help with the cost of the refit.

 

Thanks i have changed a few things since those pictures i have a bigger solar panel and controller now
I built it to make camping self contained and as easy as i could, we do have a small awning but dont use it much

 

What was the rough cost Matty? Might have to pick your brains for the suppliers you used

 

when i did mine there was not much options for off the shelf interiors but there are loads of suppliers for interiors now

a few suppliers i have use in the past for parts

There are pluses and minuses for all interior types really. You'd do well to check a few out in the flesh. As @Lord Congi says the cupboards down one side see to be about the most practical if you can manage on the 3/4 bed. Iv got the same interior as Congi and I like it. Because these vans are really quite small inside its always a compromise and you have to spend a few trips working out the most practical way of doing things in such a cramped environment. Good luck and show us your progress with it.

 

it's definitely a case of each to their own where interiors are concerned. For a long break, I'd aim to take as little as humanly possible and have as much free space inside the van, ie less fixed storage. In good weather, most of your time is spent outside anyway, so a decent 'quick-erect' awning would be a priority.
The 'cupboards down one side and 3/4 bed' layout works well for wider buses, but not for a bay IMO. A better compromise, in my mind at least, is where the width of the rear unit is reduced to accomodate a wider seat/bed...it may not seem like it at the design stage, but having an extra 4 inch width makes a big difference...a good quality bespoke interior will set you back at least £1K plus, including fixtures. Plenty of manufacturers to choose from, so I'd opt for the most local to you, so you can nip down and chat in person as and when...

avoid laminated mdf....

 

This is winning for me so far....... but with the bed, electrics, fridge, door cards etc this I think would be hitting close to £3.5k for a fully trimmed and ready to go with a bag of clothes and some food van.

Give CamperShak a call. Mike is very helpful. They do all sorts of conversions on a supply and fit or supply only.

Couple of peeps on here have had conversion from them including me.

Isn't he on here?
Forget who it is.

 

Who - the carpenter responsible for those cabinets?

 

Yeh. I could swear it.

The website link is in his signature.

 

@sjhjoinery

 

Yes.
The vanwurks one looks similar to mine. Ask for pics of the rear, think cheapy bodged in kitchen using the "doesn't hurt if they can't see it" approach.
@MorkC68 raves about his sjs interior.
