The Rear Kitchen Has Arrived...

[Gasy]

It says wheel box covers and table extra

So is it just the big box at the rear for £400
Any electrics included in that?

Hi
No...that's just for the box of bits , as you put it!... ...seems a lot, but I've just been in contact with them myself, as i'm thinking i might fancy their rear conversion...I think value is an individual thought, really, ...I'd pay that money for what looks to be a well-made item, as it looks almost "factory"

Looks the biz, Id still appreciate a photo of your bed setup though.

Saw a rear kitchen recently with a second table mount rail mounted on the rear of the kitchen unit which then allowed the table to be mounted outside the van on the rear side of the kitchen, allowing the owners to sit out at the rear of the van with the tailgate open.

Hi
I'm with Brian on that issue...I'd like to retain the forward-facing bench, and just remove the rear fold-ups

Will do next time it's up.

It consists of the from & mid seat folded, it's pretty comfy with the mattress topper on.

Did you not use the Barjoguards then Helen?

[helen&tony]

Hi Liz...
Oh, yes...they're in, and I had them modified so that I could still have the rear fold-up seats in place...BUT, I could further modify the rear one so that the top half of the guard will fit. I have also had the front guard modified to take apart into 2 halves, so that I can remove it through the side door with the seats in place! Eventually, I'll just have the front guard when Helga has finished her current stage, and calmed down a bit
We are still considering a move to warmer climes, as , whilst the summers are hot here, the winters are too cold...Southern Spain beckons...it's slightly cooler than the summers here, and winter's a doddle!
Hope you're doing well?...and your gorgeous doggies!
Cheers

P.S. Your dogs would be perfect pulling a sledge here!

Enquired today..£129 for the table and two wheel arch boxes. Quite tempting. My problem is I want to leave space at the foot of the bed (for dog, and in/out space). Has anyone used just the front and mid seats successfully as a bed? Steering wheel is obviously a problem on the driver's side.

Just back from Murcia..25 degrees, swimming in the sea in November..Nerja is nice as well, further South, very Brit-friendly and a pleasant little town

Hi Derek
No problem with the steering wheel...yours is a '95, same as mine. Buy an aftermarket wheel, and a quick-release bush, and you can remove the wheel in an instant...also a particularly good anti-theft device.

Airbag- what's that then?

[Dr Fingers]

Current steering wheel has one..

Hi Derek
Ah...problem...Mine's a '95 without airbag...Yours must be a '96 model???...I haven't heard of a '95 with an airbag???....anyway, you can't fit a remove-able wheel to an airbag model, as you'll fail MOT......but....thinking out loud, I thought it was only LATE '96 that had airbags fitted???...so if yours is definitely '95, it sounds strange???
Three things occur if yours is registered '95
1/. perhaps in '95 airbags were an option?
2/. the UK authorities got the date of manufacture wrong (you can check the Russian site)
3/. someone fitted an airbag wheel to yours because the original was damaged, and they used a later wheel with the bag removed
I'm curious
Cheers
