Still the best interior for a small campervan!? We’ve made a V1.2 U-Shape, Ideal for VW Transporter

We’ve done some custom changes to our regular U-Shape for this amazing VW Transporter T6.1.
This time we were brought a super cool, very high spec twin sliding door kombi.
The twin sliding doors are a rare conversion for us but I think you’ll see why we now think this could be the most practical and easy to use camper we’ve done.
The second door where the main cabinet is now reveals access to the rear of the cupboard as well as opening up the van space so immediately feels bigger. You could even use this as a serving area using the worktop as a counter top.
The auxiliary heater duct can also be swivelled 180 degrees so if you added a drive away awning to the drivers side you can use the vehicle heater to warm this space too.
We’ve used birch ply throughout the entire build which makes these very strong and durable as well as offering better protection against moisture.
Birch ply also has a much denser and cleaner edge which enables us to leave the edges exposed to give a very contemporary look. Once we’ve given these a light sand we apply a special oil which protects and enhances the look even further.
The exposed edge compliments the warm feel of the oak worktop perfectly.
Some further specifications of this vehicle include.
Kardean ship deck style floor.
240v hook up through the front grille badge.
Full leisure battery 12v power
Dometic CRX 50. Colour matched to the interior.
Exclusive burgundy laminated birch ply cabinet and U-Shape made to our spec by the guys at Cymru Camper Furniture.
Autoterm fully programmable auxiliary heater.
VanShades thermal black out blinds to all the windows.
Passenger seat swivel base.
Interior table with matching oak top.
Rear pull out drawer
Side drawer on offside
Drawers on the main cabinet.

    Red and black! Great retro 80's look mate. No cooker so takeaways is the way to go. Perfect blokes van. Useless for a family and my missus thinks it's made for lads fishing trips.

    This is a great set up, doing something very similar. How do you create the black strips for the flooring? Love the ship deck look

    Love this layout. Seriously considering this layout for my future van. Have you installed this layout with seatbeats?

    Good question, and one we get asked a lot. The ideal position for the seatbelts would be at the very back of the van facing forwards. If you have two people facing forward their legs would be pointed into each other at a bit of a diagonal to miss the cabinets. Unfortunately there is no ideal solution to fit people comfortably without compromising either safety or cabinets. Our recommendation for those wanting seat belts is to fit a rock and roll style bed.

    Looks great!, Quick question, the kitchen unit on the non drive side I take it that could be adapted to put the other sliding door side, just looking for inspiration for my build :)

    Yeah for sure. The U-shape is actually more of a J so the passenger side is longer. You could have a small cabinet, ie the size of the fridge next to the longer section. We’ve also made both sides the same length and reversed round for LHD vehicles so lots of possibilities.

    Interesting and good to see something a bit different, not sure about the staggered bed layout though...can see my knees/shins getting battered during the night!😅 also think youd definately want rear panel windows to optimise the lounge area.

    Surprisingly the cupboard vs shin has only happened once, luckily quite lightly too! We mainly sleep on the main bit with just our shoulders into the wider section. Our demo van has the rear windows to maximise the seating view and works well. Although I haven’t cut the tailgate window as I like to lean against that while in bed.

    Is that a flat pack set up that I could do myself? It’s a super set up. Would be ideal for what I need. 😊

    Looks amazing, I have just had this layout fitted to my Renault trafic. Can I ask how the support leg is fitted to the corner of the bed? Ours doesn't have one and definitely needs it!

  • @dcdtransporters

    I would definitely recommend you have one or the corner won’t be supported at all if you put weight on it. We fit a flip down leg with a hinge so gravity takes it when you flip the panel over. The hinge supports the leg once down.

    Yes two seat belts in this one. You could have the double passenger seat which would give you three. These are really designed for when the kids have left!

    Hi, it’s pretty strong. It’s 15mm birch ply which when cut and jointed correctly is really strong. Comfortably taking two adults.
