Got the new van. Love it. Things have come a long way in the 14 years since the old one was made. Unsure what I am going to do with the fitout but I don't think I need the almost full camper, kitchen, bed set up I had. As a start I'm keeping it as a 5 seater, removing the two individual seats and moving the 3 seater bench foward. I've bought some waterproof carpet, and made some mats. Will try and keep major sand out of the front of the van - the old one was pretty disgusting at the end with sand from roof to floor from me and the dog.
With the 3 seater bench where it is there is still 1850mm behind it so I have room to set up a bed there. Have started to look at the back, setting up some hanging racks. I like to keep all my gear, wetsuits, towells, paddles, boards etc in the van so I don't have to prepare for a trip to the beach - everything is there. Need roofracks at the moment.
But the fridge is in!
