I'm interested in getting hold of the 'middle' seat rails, if anyone is currently converting and removing them from their Alphard, I'd be interested in taking them off your hands. Leave a message here or DM me. Thanks

Did you get to see a camper at all?

Another question hybrid/battery related. Assuming if people have Alphard Hybrid Campers, the vehicle may not be their runaround they use all the time. Anyone had any experience of the battery not maintaining charge when parked for long times? Toyota recommend running the car for an hour each week (just static) to keep the battery in tip top shape. https://blog.toyota.co.uk/coronavirus-toyota-hybrid-car-maintenance This seems a boring job! Anyone do this? In practice is this not necessary?

Can anyone settle a discussion we've been having. We are newbies, we've done one long trip in a VW California and loved it. We have settle on getting an Alphard as the best option as our own first vehicle. We'd convert to a pop top but the keep the below seating mostly as it is, perfect for us. The pop top in the VW was plenty of room for us to sleep, we are both 6 foot. We've measured out the dimensions and we think the a Pop Top on an Alphard would be sufficent to sleep in (if like in the Mazda Bongo you sleep on the 'hatch'). However, I've read various reports that people only recommend kids sleep in the top. Can anyone about the same size (6ft) confirm they also sleep in the pop top? Ideally we'd like to visit one and get in the top to try it but given we are all lockdown/distancing, I don't feel I can ask anyone to let us try it out (all the local dealers only have uncoverted vehicles). Let us know your thoughts please.

Hi, we are planning the same so very interested in the answers to this. Only one I can put some weight behind is Q1 - we asked a garage that had done lots of conversions and he indicated that it wasn't possible to swivel the driver/passenger. I think it's as there is a standard swivel mechanism (I'm unaware if there are different types though perhaps). Be very happy if you or anyone found out anything different.

Any update on this? I'm looking at a 2003 hybrid and be interested to know if anyone has got the convertor to work or everyone has to rely on the physical dial change.
