Saw a UK company making l-track bench seat mounts. Amazing brackets available too to allow for cabinet install that could be removed easily too. Loving this l-track rabbit hole.

interior of my 93 weekender, took the seats out and going to use it to transport my scooter. for the short journey I was going to use the seat rail for the rear seat and the loops in from for the jump seats. I am sure they are ok for a temp fix. what have folks been using to mount a more permanent and strong mounting point.

On our EVW -- we have an ARB Touring awning (supplied by PO) and it works just great. Its armature seems a bit flimsy compared the Fiamma - but its easy and light to set up. I believe it is limited to three sizes. Not sure, but I believe we have a 2500mm model (~8') -- enough for us in a short wheel base (SWB) van.



I know the cost is much cheaper than Fiamma -- but one thing I recently discovered that is a big bonus -- is that ARB also makes tents and mosquito net fittings for the awning.

great looking rig, the awning support is attached directly to the van panels? Any close up pics install points?

Looking for roof rack options and seems like a goose chase already! :-(

How about a few coats of plastdip?

My concern with paint is the surface is never dry so how the paint will cure properly? might be worth a try, I don't have a extra piece to experiment on. Still not gotten to the decal test yet either!

where are you located, does your interior plastic have the sticky illness yet? What color?
I don't have info on the removal but interested in some of the parts depending on location etc.

will need to experiment myself too, since it is sticky maybe some 3m wrap might work best, can even get it in wood design or plain colors. I doubt a paint would work but never tried it.

would be great for a walk through on some of your upgrades so we might be able to tackle smaller jobs. I was looking at more lights up front to help spot the deer on the midnight mountain hill drives, having never worked on cars only bikes this dashboard stuff is confusing :-)

a pictorial like your other projects would be a great resource.

much of interior is sticky, cannot seem to find a eurvan related search on samba or the like. My beetle has a similar issue but that is easily removed as a coating. guess it is guess time with some nasty solvent stuff that won't go through the plastic!

Any online guide or documents you used. looks like mine is in need of replacement and I am not a mech but I do some basic stuff, wondering if this is something I can manage but wanted to look through the steps or manual first.

My 93MV has some very weird sticky plastic on the cover near the rear bench seat by the sliding door. Cannot figure out how to clean it, used soap and water and a simple green solution.
I have found sugru.com for smaller cracks and missing parts works great and can be blended to match the color of the trim fairly easily.
