I was thinking 'OK, and where do you put all your wet, muddy gear then?'

But then I thought 'hang on, the seems to be hardly any storage space at all... or a cooker!'

I love a tricked out van but I've seen much better. There's not much to it. Nothing compared to what's on my wishlist anyway...

'OK, and where do you put all your wet, muddy gear then?'

In California? I'd hit the bar on the rainy days.

Like. Looks like the one from the ADVrider megathread.

He's clearly had plenty of similar vehicles in the past and has worked out what he needs and what he doesn't.

Personally I think he's a bit lazy not putting his saddles down, but he;s the boss.

I think this is more like what I would be doing with the back of a van:

Though probably with more rubber (eg. Rubberised floor) and less chequerplate.

Hannah Barnes conversion is way better than lopes and that one above.
