It is easy to find these existing holes - they are usually fitted with a threaded dust cap - see photo below. By carefully feeling along the lining (or removing it), you will find a depression where the cap is located. | |||

Seatbelt Fitting
Caravelles have pre-existing holes and threaded nuts awaiting your 3 point belt. If you have a factory converted camper the chances are it left the factory as a panel van and you will need to add your own mounting points. you can tell if your van is converted as the windows in the rear will have a squidgy bit of rubber betweeen the outside panel where the glass rubber sits, and the inside panel which will have a plastic covering strip to hide the edge where the hole for the window was cut.
There are at least 2 approaches to fitting middle seat 3-point seatbelts. If you use the original double (2 person) Caravelle seats, then they are fitted with lap belts as standard. These can be replaced with 3-point seatbelts; the seat next to the window can use an anchor fitted to the side panel (C pillar) inbetween the windows.
