Club 80-90 Forums

Really could do with opinions from all angles please - all help appreciated.

I've bought the van (my forever van hopefully). Its currently a blank canvas in the back- totally empty- I intend to make it a full on camper.
We have had T4's and T5's for years and have kept them more as day vans and requirements to a minimum - this is going to be a bit different i want to do away with the drive away awning and the camping style approach.

in general, here is my list (in no fixed order)

-Tracker, Alarm, ignition kill switch, locking wheel nut etc
- Decent 4 speakers stereo system (currently nothing in there - don't want a boom box or amps , just a nice sound and functional)
- 12v power points in rear - 2 or 3 (euro socket type)
- LED Lighting (+ decent exterior lighting for awning)
- Diesel night heater.
- Decent black out curtains
- Westfalia interior (Atlantic) with LPG for fridge/cooker (can anyone suggest a better alternative?)
- Split Charger + leisure battery Q? Do I need a leisure battery if lights are LED and fridge is LPG?
- Westfalia pop roof
- Bike carrier
- Fiamma Wind out awning


Where do you buy Westy interiors from?
I would consider the multivan set up with cooking pod as the full bed is always good - but I do like the storage in the full layout?

Collecting van next week, dont want to hang around as Sprin is just around the corner. Any thoughts/helpful suggestions welcomed.

Photos of new van will follow - as will my build thread hopefully

Oh, and for some strange reason, i want a CB Think its why i want the leisure battery really

Hi Jim, well unless you get someone to make one up then eBay and on here are the best place for Westy interiors. Expect to pay ALOT though.

Best place for a Westy interior is probably on ebay.de, although you might need to go over there to collect.

Hi,
Is your van left hand drive?
If its not you are seriously going to cut down your options for a Westy interior.

One on fleabay at the moment. But as Craig said...if your van isn't lhd then you'll have a loooooong search on your hands. Here's the one on the bay Vw t3 / t25 full lhd westfalia interior

Cheers guys, i've been looking through classifieds pretty regularly,it is LHD.

Copy the design and build similar yourself. Not as hard as it looks. Even routing a slot for rubber ectrusions is fairly simple. If you can make a simple cabinet you can do it with a jigsaw, drill, screws etc

TK103b, Locking nuts? I doubt your ancient alloys will be desirable to yoofs

go to halfords find a 50 watt tereo you like and buy it off the internet, also buy a stereo spacer (brickwerks) for fitting in the dash
