That is fantastic. What a thoughtful conversion with attention to fit and finish…nice surfaces, smart ergonomics, and she even kept the back seats! This plan would work great in a Transit Connect. i think the kangoo may be even smaller than a TC…
Pretty awesome huh? I love it! Thanks for leaving your thoughts C Breeze
Btw
Any Transit Connect camper owners if you have any images or details of your build or any other on that size of van I.e. Caddy, Belingo, Kangoo and the likes whether your design or a kit/conversion I would love to see/read your data.
As I am seriously thinking about building one so any help/advice etc links to such assistance, support etc would be of great assistance.
Looking forward to your assistance
