    Beach substitute..

    Originally I was after a Kombi Beach, but they I was unable to locate one. I ended up with a Multivan and have fitted it out with some drifta custom drawers/kitchen and a swivel seat.Everything is mounted on the tracks in the van, the captains chairs have been removed from the van for the moment....Taking off next week for a road trip!







    I was able to use some of the posts here on the forum to 'rewire' the power outlets in the back, they only have power now when the engine is running.

    Not too much at the moment. Mrs omo is busy sewing curtains as I am posting...I have also fitted a Fiamma bike rack at the back and attached a shade awning to the roof racks. My big regret is not getting the 4-motion version of the van. I figure that I will keep working on this van and hopefully change all the gear over to a 4 motion at some stage...
    I will post some pics when all is done.

    I ended up getting a base from seats are us in Brisbane. It bolted straight on to the seat base. I did end up moving the fuse block to the rear of the seat for access.
    I forgot what I payed for the base, will check it for you.

    It would be awesome to get some pricing for the swivel seats! Did you do just the passenger or both fronts?? (Or can you only do one?)

    I was going to look into this but never really got around to it... But if it's essentially plug and play! Wooo!!

    (Nice colour by the way... I was tempted by the Olympic Blue myself they do look awesome. I'm really sick of the 12 varieties of grey they have on offer).

    Good looking job!

    Can you still lower and raise the revolving seat, as you can in the multivan?

    I had a swivel fitted to my multi in the UK but you had to lift the seat before turning so your head was very near the roof!

    The seat sat 30mm higher than standard.

    Did you know you can get curtains made to fit in the multivan windows from VW?

    Liking your ideas.

    Correct - it' called "Good Night Package" - not many sales people know about it as it is not listed on the price list & to be honest I found out through this lovely forum myself
    Any one who requires the code, just email me at work!

    Rob, I would be in trouble if I mentioned at this stage that I just could have bought the curtains from VW / Ebay
