    my Caddy camper also has that LED strip :P but it lacks so many awesome features from yours. I really like the cardboard trick and the L shape bed. Brilliant!

    Found the images and description you put online earlier and now stumbled across it on RUclips. This is the exact layout I have been thinking about. How is it working for you, anything you would change and do you wish you had insulated more?

    @IRVisionPrints 4 года назад

    Hi, I know this is quite old now but wonder if you can help?
    Do you know off hand the dimensions of the unit in the passenger side? Mostly the length between the rear and side loading door.
    I’m getting a SWB caddy and looking for a unit to fit but without having a van yet I don’t know the dimensions to look for.
    Thanks in advance
