My Way Of Over Nighting In The Van
Discussion
I Bought A Transit Just As A Means Of Transport Originally But Idea's Started To Grow .......... It Now Has Double Removable Seats An Insulated Floor, New Plywood Floor, Insulated Roof Using Bubble Foil Spray Glued On , And Now I'm Building Some Benches That Will Convert To An Overnight Bed Across The Rear The Bed Will Be 48" Wide by 69" Length As Im 6ft I Shall Have To Bend My Legs To Sleep , But It's Only For Occasional Use So No Probs.
So Iv'e Bought The Plywood , A Sheet Sander And A Router ! Now Iv'e Never Ever Used One Of These So Fingers Crossed It All Works Out.
I Intend To Build Two 4ft Long Benches Down Each Side With A Table In Between For Day Use , Then Night Time Use The Table Will Remove And A Slatted Base Will Make Up The Bed Hopefully
Photo to Show How Far Ive Got
Pic Showing first bench Fitted Still need Varnishing Yet
Both Benches fitted Now
Centre area fitted
Bed down (need to get end piece of foam covered) now I Have to Take Out And Varnish and Sand Then Varnish and Sand about 4 coats I Reckon
