I'm constructing a two berth camper in a 2013 van.
An issue identified early on is the loss of what would, in a car, be rear footwell space, due to the loading platform extending over it. I don't really need the loading platform but I'd like to use it for a leisure battery, and storage.
I've been quoted £60-90 to have it cut out and neatened off, which from the perspective of someone without the tools or skill to do it, sounds reasonable.
I don't think it will affect the integrity of the centre belt attachment, but it's fairly difficult to see down there to be sure. However, I am intending to remove the middle during seat soon as we only need 2 front seats and would rather have the space and access between front cab and rear living areas than a 3rd seat.
Is anyone familiar with this issue and think this is a good solution, or have another solution?
