very nice - cost?
about £6500 with the interior conversion
Ford Transit, long wheel base holds 9 bikes & has 9 seats, perfect for clubs or bike companies.
citroen dispatch - anyone got one?
I reckon this thread will still be alive when my van comes back next week 🙂 Todays conversion fun was the gulper pump requirement!!
citroen dispatch - anyone got one?
I have a Fiat Scudo, pretty much the same van. I have the one with the seats in the back. Really good fuel economy, averaged about 40mpg fully loaded with bikes and camping gear while driving around Europe this summer.
pics with bikes in?
What is the payload size in a dispatch/scudo/expert?
Wondering if i could create a space in the back based around an Amdro conversion kit (or similar) - what other options are there??
Ahh I do miss my Bongo. We must keep this thread alive so forge197 can post pics of his conversion!
Sorry, Dispatches are w**k. We've got some at work. Good size, but thta's about it. Price says it all. Luckily they gave me a Caddy TDi. Infinitely better. Just a tad short. I'd go for LWB if I had the choice, But I don't so can't. Managed to fit 2 bikes in next to the Van Vault. They're just a bit pricey though.
Can't do pics as it's sign written.

some friends potential team van pre Morvelo makeover......
I think that's the top trump.
but it's not mine 🙁
101 FC FTW!
wtf?
Hairy, if yours is a V8 with LPG conversion you have my dream car...
Pics of mine to follow once I've got roind to building the bed and bike rack. It's bit different, but built on a budget (when fully loaded the bikes inside will be about 4 times the price of the truck)
whats yours?
101s ROCK! Would love one!

Quite amazed the thread is still running truth be told!!
Those 101's remind of the mad machines at UK BikePark not sure what was more fun travelling in their vehicles or the trails.
[cough] so when does yours come back for photos then Forge? [/cough]
Andy you've teased the thread into page 5 😯
Should be back late next week 🙂
FTW

You don't want to turn up for the global warming talks in Copenhagen in one of those 101's do you?
Picked the van up yesterday, haven't really had time to load anything and workout best places for bits and pieces yet, but it is a bike van and based on that first thing to try was the bikes 😀 and I am pleased the bikes fit!!

Who did the work? Action Vans??
You don't know what the flooring is do you??
Getting my van in a few days..........excited - many decisions to make.
Jerba Campervans did the work, flooring is Polysafe Vinyl.
What van you getting?
Some campervan Paraphernalia that will be going later 😀
Topical Coasters, The side of the van is pre-conversion

2007 T5 panel van. 2.5l, 6 spd.
RIB bed ready to fit, lined/spraylined by vanbodies.co.uk
pop-top roof from Vamoose
and maybe some colour coding.
That's plans at the moment.
Got a quote from Jerba, but found similar services closer to home. Jerba seem like nice folks and fantastic quality. Is that their little kitchen module I see in yours? Does the van have a bed?
edit: that's a Reimo bed/seat is it? looks like 3/4 width with 3 belts - didn't know you could do that?
6spd so 130 or 174? Mine was a Panel Van.
Yes it's Reimo 333 116cm wide 3 seater, converts to a bed, also got a SCA pop-top roof which also has a bed.
Jerba is the nearest convertor for me though I was prepared to travel, I hired a van from them prior as well to get a feel for the workman ship.
The kitchen isn't a module it looks like this along with some storage pictures

Very nice. Can you open the bed out when the bikes are in the back?
Can you open the bed out when the bikes are in the back?
No but I can sleep in the roof with the bikes in the back. As a plan b I have a overnight or need more space bike storage system 🙂

Which attached to the tow bar provides outside bike storage space and also acts as a workstand and packs into a handy travel bag

forge197 awesome that is.
Hey forge197 can you enlighten me, what have you clamped your forks into? Other than the 20mm adaptor is that something you made or something off the shelf?
Cheers
Thanks for the nice comments.
Bagpuss the Fork up is clamped to a Thule 593 which comes with a Thule 592 that has been slightly trimmed to fit the application.
I did have to replace the wing nut at one end as it fowls the thicker fork legs but a 13mm nut sorted that, have to carry a 13mm spanner to secure it but no big deal and is solid and the same solution works with 20mm and QR.
We camped out in the van last night en-route to family it was ace and will be doing so again later in the week, think we'll be having much fun in 2010. 🙂
Forge - you wanna take it back and get them to fit a window you can see out of. Yours is all pixellated!
