There's nowt easy is there! I'm jolly glad that wasn't me doing any of that. Thank goodness for Mr Beard! Clever man. A gem. An nteresting video, keeping an interested eye on "how things happen" ... always plenty to learn. Thanks for sharing this one. In no time at all the rest of the van will be done... or not!! Take good care of yourself and that lovely Missus. Love, Pam xx
Stumbled across this looking for something similar. It looks a great solution, especially with the slide. Are the seats two distinct seats with a kind of bump in the middle or is it more like a sofa or bench seat and you could spread out and sit in the middle of it comfortably?
Where can i buy these seats? Do you know if it is the same tüv standard for getting the car registrated in Sweden? There are a few conpanies installing these kind of seats but they cost around 40-50000sek!

Thank you so much! Yes I was very glad not to be asked to help this time 😂. Shaun and Jed did a great job!
Magnificent result! I like it!
Experts make it look so easy! 😀
Great video, really enjoying the series. What size and model is the bed, would it fit 2 adults for a journey?
I tbiught you had to drill into the chassis to install seats into the rear ?? I have a crafter and im looking to put seats in the back
Looks a great seat
Where did you get the bracket from?
Great place great guys

Hi we’re did you buy the rib bed?
Thanks

Only issue I find with the RIB is that it can be a bit firm to sleep on. A good memory foam topper is a must. Best seat on the market
Agreed! It is a tad firm!
As well as sliding front and back does it slide side to side?
sorry, how far does it slide sideways?
interested to know which rib bed this is just embarking on my own crafter conversion and this looklike exactly what I need
It’s the RIB Altair 86 👍
I thought with a crash tested bed you had to fix it to the chassis to get the required strength to meet the test results.
When I fitted mine you can get into the cross members.
How wide was yours?
@UrbanArkOverland I've fitted 2 x 60 ribs as I have 2 teens so need them separately seated and sleeping!
@@_marcus_does_ then the brace points are in different places 👍🏻
did you use two brackets around the chassis like Urban Ark Overland or just one to the rear ?
I used just one bracket on the rear and big square washers in the front
@@ABusAndBeyond was thinking 2 was overkill
Hi buddy, sorry to be a pain. Do you know what the measurements are when its in bed mode (Length).
I think you should be able to find all the stats here 👍 www.banwy.co.uk/downloads/dl/file/id/21/product/1091/altair_seats.pdf
@@ABusAndBeyond thank you so much 😁
Will this still allow room for shower behind the Rib?
Yes it will 👍
@@ABusAndBeyond Thanks, Do you remember the measurements for the brace you had made?
I don’t I’m afraid. I left the sketch with the fabricator
@@ABusAndBeyond another question :D. How does the height match the front seats?
It’s not too far off, a little lower than the front seats but liveable. We built the floor up a little but not much
Hi- a question- can you drive that vw van in a standard car license? In other words is it 3.5 tonnes or less with the full camper conversion?
Yes it is.
Roast a nice Turkey on that. 🤣
Click here ha ha. That’s 2 for 2 on the callout. Nice touch doing it in stainless
Jed’s drill didn’t think so 😂
@@ABusAndBeyond ha ha ha
So is your crafter 3500 ton
Yes it is 3.5tonne
Save your time and ears with trash music, seat can be seen 11:45
Please refrain from using that noise,we are not 17 any more !!!!😮
What noise?
