You're right, this is a great idea, thanks Dormouse.
I'm a painter and decorator so I want to leave the shelving that's already in there as it's perfect storage.
I need my small step ladder to slide in on the floor and to be able to put trays and scuttles under the bed too.
I made a bed in my old transit connect that folder out over the folded seats and was planning to adapt this as it's made out of 15mm birch ply.
It need to sleep me and my 7 year old but still be able to carry 5 passengers as we often go out with her friends.
I would take my work stuff out for longer trips but might leave most of it in if it was for a night or two as I could just chuck in the mattress.
I have a portable stove but it would be good if I was able to have it on some sort of pull out table from the back of the van.
I suppose I'm hoping to do the conversation cleverly so the van holds value.
I don't need much other than an easy to fold out bed, passenger seats and good storage.
