We are thinking about downsizing from our current (albeit very nice!) van to something smaller, and are wondering about van conversions.
But the killer seems to be storage.
Looking at the largest van conversions (6.3mtrs) there still seems a lack of storage unless you get a transverse bed - which we don't want. Ideally we would like a rear lounge that then makes 2 long singles. But we currently carry 2 folding bikes and these appear to present a problem. (not to mention table and chairs etc)
Yes I know we could get a bike rack but I am reluctant to do that - seems pointless downsizing and then extending the length by adding bike racks! Also we keep the bikes in the van when at home.
Has anyone solved this problem, or am I trying to do the impossible?
Thanks
