matt007 - fine conversion there.

What seats are you using in the back there?
Which donor vehicle are they from and will they fold flat or come out easily?
Sorry one more question.
I am assuming your conversion will stay as a van (with increased number of seats) rather than a V5 change to a motorcaravan?

Thanks

It helps that over there Toyota HiAces are common, cheap, have windows and every mechanic in the country will have worked on loads.

Totally, they're pretty much an exotic here. They're the opposite of VW really, super cheap and it's great being able to get spares anywhere for a few $

DVLA are very reluctant to change vans to motorhomes. Apparently because they still look like a panel van that is what they should stay as. So even with windows and a full fit out it will remain a van.

I am loving the Fiat Ducato. Good space, flexible options for conversion and possible to have a garage to keep the bikes indoors! Also without the VW price tag...

At the smaller end of the scale but I'm dead chuffed with my self build

http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/yet-another-stealth-campervery-pic-heavy

Me and the missus spent the weekend in it last weekend at the World Cup. Admittedly no bikes in it but I slept up on the raised bed and she was on a big single air bed on the floor where the bikes would go. You can go as daft as you want spec wise. My next build will probably be a bigger van but for what I need for the foreseeable the current build suits me perfectly

Have stripped my van (as posted previously in this thread) ready for a internal rebuild - have an Eberspacher Handiwash unit - sink and hot and cold water in a self contained unit and also a brewing/hot water urn, both 12volt and good condition. £30 each?
