Sorry to hear that, mr duck. Need help?

@@EternalJourneys what state you in?

@@crazyduck1254 Bali ;)

From what I’ve read, from people with way more understanding of thermodynamics than me; insulation only really works to a degree. Basically, it will keep the heat out to a point - then once the van is hot it will keep that heat in - longer than it would if there was no insulation at all. I experienced this in FNQ where every day was around 35c and full sun. The nights stayed hot, and so did the van. Avoid leaving the van closed up in the sun. Shade is better than insulation, in this case. I didn’t test any really cold conditions. I guess the coldest I got was around cradle mountain area in Tas, early summer - still pretty cold at night. Never had a problem with being cold, but I had a really good blanket and extra layers to sleep in if needed. I imagine insulation would help more in cold conditions.

@@EternalJourneys Thanks so much for replying. Getting some insight from actual owners of one of these conversions is invaluable. We may not stress as much about insulation and prioritize not adding any thickness, or at least as little as possible, to the walls instead.

It been a while, but im pretty sure mine flipped backwards as well. But if you fold the backrest forwards then lift the seat - it doesnt actually need that much room behind.

@@EternalJourneys I honestly didnt know the seat could fold that way too, never had a reason to try😅

Thanks mate! Bumper was already there from previous owner. That was what caught my attention when we were looking in the first place :)

Thanks mate! Yeah, if you look back at the floorboard installation you'll see ive left a cutout for the access panel on the floor. Which can then be accessed through the two cupboard doors under the sink. Theres no backing on the cupboards either, so everything is accessible from the front as well. I had a major service done after the build, so it's all suitable. I made all of my measurements with the engine bay open (passenger seat access). That way you know how much space you need to leave. Your newer model will obvs be different, so just take all precautions before you start.

Hi! Thanks so much :) It was done slowly over a few months. So, hard to gauge really!

Hey sorry I didn't see this. Yes, I intentionally left enough space to lift the seat.

Thanks mate! I reckon the tubes would be strong enough, but I’d be concerned about the plastic joiners. Being out in the sun theyll probably get brittle

@@EternalJourneys strooth ..that was quick ..i.ll give it some more thought .. thanks 😁happy trails and pip pips

Hi, can you go into a little more detail? I’m not quite sure what you mean.

Hey thanks! Definitely easier with aluminium. But more expensive. I don’t have the costings anymore but I remember it was around $200AUD for the bed frame.
