Awesome
I would love build one this, and I was going to before I brought my Transit Van but I decided I’d like the use of the van for the motorbikes ect also I was going to get a 70 Series Landcruiser (very popular in Africa and Australasia) which are a bit exspensive and hard to find in the uk.
You’ll be surprised how comfortable a small space can be.
lookforward to hearing more

Congrats and best of luck

gets a lil bit wet
Hi
It gets a little bit wet from spray on the outside but theres rubber gaskets to stop water from entering the internal bits.

you could put a plastic flap just before it or one with a case if you were concerned, (I don’t think its needed)

Theres enough room under mine to fit an external flush mount hookup which would protect it more from spray and dirt. But in my opinion its fine.

Seats
I’ve fitted my seats but havn’t informed anyone yet :S
But From what I could gather (very Little) as long as the seats are secure (I heard M10 bolts are fine with large washers) and secure seat belts there fine, but I think the best thing is probably to call someone that does the conversions for you and get as much info out of them as you can. and maby call an m.o.t garage.

But heres some quotes I found;

1) I had a transit van which I insured as a six seater, because I had a triple bench seat in the back. I used some kee klamp brackets bolted through the floor, so it was secured, and legit. You could have the seat either parallel with the sides, behind the driver, or parallel with the front seats behind the driver, or right at the back…
All I had to say was that it had been modified, when I insured it

2) If you want to change the number of seats in the van you need to make sure your insurance reflects this.
If you are adding them make sure the seats are correctly installed [they usually require a reinforcement plate under the floor of the van at each mounting point and that the seats all have seat belts. [Try and avoid mounting seats where you will need to drill through the chassis – its a bad idea and a pain to do.] Once the seats are correctly fitted you should be able to send off the V5 for updating without any trouble and they should also pass an mot like that.

all the best
