Day Van

[Alasdair]

We took ownership of our Day Van today and absolutely delighted with the conversation from 8 seats to 7 with a sink and single hob burner. It's exactly what we have been looking for and Fantastic Campervans of Dairsie in Fife, Scotland have done a great job for us. They undersealed the van, replaced the HU, fitted a pop top roof, an awning rail and a tow bar. Looking forward to a weekend away as soon as possible now.

Very nice.

 

And you have a 'Cyclist' mirror.

Haha you have no idea how delighted I was to see it 🤣

Very nice. Thanks for sharing the pictures and ideas. Did they do the head unit too?

[Alasdair]

Thanks. Yes the head unit was swapped out from the original Japanese one that was there

Nice alternative to most, do you have 2 lap belts on the middle row seat as I see it's facing the rear and the side that has the head rest is usually the one that has the full 3point seat belt

[Alasdair]

The headrest seat facing backwards has the option of lap for rear and 3 point seatbelt forward facing....very adaptable

Thanks was not sure if that seat had a lap as I only have a 7seater, is it a tight fit turning it to face forward

I think the seats will be rear facing a majority of the time.....and love that the 2 seats at the rear fold flat then up against the sides to create a huge space for our dog cage.....a huge bonus we were kof aware of till we picked it up and had it demonstrated to us by the dealer.

Yes, thanks Alasdair for sharing with us, looks a treat especially the head unit with sat nav also, i thought my unit was fab till i saw that. Excuse my ignorance but could you define lap for me when you were talking about the seating? a great looking layout though with still quite a bit of space.

[Alasdair]

The lap strap is a single strap coming up from the side of the seat....up and over your lap with no shoulder strap attached

Single strap meets the MOT standards; must be worn when travelling

Thanks guys for putting me right on the lap straps
