    Same as you we didn't see many Hyundai iMax or iLoad conversion so I am happy to have a tour of yours. Thank you. FYI: We put a 9 litre brass monkey freezer between the front seats to supplement the 40 litre waco fridge. Meat for a week, and ice too so I don't need to put water or wine in the fridge. We kept the back seats and removed the middle row. The tri-fold bed is behind the front seats and the backs of the back seats is our 'headboard'. When in campervan mode we use the space under the bed for storage. The bed is folded up against the front seats when in passenger mode and we can have five people in the van to get around town. The kitchen box is in the 'boot' and we have a reimo tailgate tent for privacy. There is 40 litres of water on the roof, 240 watts of solar and an awning on either side of the van. We kept the factory lining as is but installed limousine tint on the windows and have travelled in -0° - 30+°. Each night we hang our beach and bath towels around the mattress to trap our body heat in winter, and to block light pollution too. Thanks again for the tour...

      Hey Tim. The windows were pretty easy to black out, little bit fiddly cutting it to the right shape but wasn't too bad. And we actually couldn't get the sliding brackets out for the centre row of seats, so we pushed them forward and built the platform on top of it. The back ones all came out easy.

    Great wrap up, we experienced the exact same things especially the Instagram moments compared to reality, Its a shame people feel the need to edit their photos so much that it doesn't resemble true life experience. Any photos or videos I took were never edited to enhance them so I have true memories of our travels. Therefore we have a lot of grey day photos , but hey that was our reality.
