    Hi, can anybody show me where should I fix the ceiling cabinet? I have the westfalia manual but it is not clear and in my van there are not holes nor mounts, thanks

    You need an angled bracket that bolts to the van on one side the other side bolts to the wardrobe

    Yes I know, but where in the van? Directly to the ceiling?

    The Berlin uses bolts through L shaped brackets that mount into these which are on the upper bed base. Peel back the cushions upstairs & have a look:D
    However, is it a pop or tin top....o_O

    ok Charli, do you have a picture of the roof of your van? From inside and outside?

    I don't know how you can fit a Berlin interior into a turret top camper. Maybe some others here can help??
    What do you think @davidoft regarding fitting the ceiling cabinet into a late tin top such as yours? Are there roof strengtheners Charli could find under the headlining?

    Your gonna have to make a bracket and fix the bracket above the rear window frame
