I'm thinking of converting a SWB Vivaro and I love your conversion , In my case I might make the bed easily removeable for using the van to carry stuff .Also I wonder if using metal sliders would make the bed easier to push into bed mode and back to seating mode , I think you can get heavy duty metal sliders which would do this job well .
You built the swivel base? Well done, I bought mine, likewise with the R&R bed...the only way to do it IMHO. Chuck all the bedding over the back. I see you cut of the roof bar lugs like me giving extra headroom, again the right way to do it. The only main difference is I have no leisure battery. Nice job mate. Our Perdigueiro dog sleeps on the double seat. Lots of old towels..
@allanb52 Thanks for your comments. I didn't actually cut anything off the roof, I simply glued the wooden batons to the roof along side the metal beams. 👍
@@raygibbins Okay mines older an 08, they changed to a cam chain in 07, bought mine in 2015. Not sure what the lugs were there for, maybe Vauxhall thought the same. Bonne chance!!
Wow.... I'm impressed, good man!
You've done really well Ray, it looks very cosy 👏👍

Thanks. Funny enough only today my wife is trying to get me to sell it. I have told her that is never happening. 😊

@@raygibbins What year is you van, I had 2 lugs on each roof beam. Mine is an 08.
@allanb52 . Mine is a 2017. I bought new when I retired.

Really like this! Where did you get the table from, or did you make it? And if so, where did you get the parts from?
I got the table from Amazon
Some good ideas for my project just about to start. Did you set alight to the curtains by the gas hob yet lolz
Curtains are still in one piece. I move them out the way 👍
Hi Ray, nice job. Where did you get the double swivel seat base from?
Hi. I got the swivel base from Kiravans.
SWB or LWB?
