interiors, peoples favourite

[dirtty dogg]

thought i would start thread (if thats what there called!) to see what interior tops the charts. I started with the devon but am now favouring the westys.

let us know what your choice is by pics you tube what ever.

just a bit of fun!

Stock microbus (with Z bed hinges) for me. Most practical by far

I am very much torn between an early Westy and an Early Devon.

I think the Westy has the better bed set up and pop top roof design, but I love the English charm of the Devon. One day I would love to make a combination of the two in a RHD Early.

Obviously I have ended up with a Westy because of the availability of solid LHD buses and the roof works better for me.

Great question!!!!

 

[dirtty dogg]

with you on that one faux, westy roof, they look neat especialy with a lowerd bus......Mmmm

 

[jacks906]

Devon any time

even like the roof, after a weekend drilling the old rivets out an replacing , but works wonders and is soooooooooo more usable for me

 

[dirtty dogg]

as i mentioned earlier, my new interrest of the westy interiors has poked me into making one, i chose the So42 as its gotta be the rolls of them. this is the progress so far.

the first picture has been laqured so is slightly glossy.

 

[dirtty dogg]

OK its a split bus on an early bay forum..............but put that aside this is my interior at the moment. devon....ish

i was after an early bay but just couldnt find the right one for the money i have, best keep looking. :|

 

[mattd1984]

I like the early westy interior but especially the helsinki version

 

[Bricktop]

Gotta be the Dormy! theres nothing like waking up in a packed campsite with your bare backside winking through the curtains at everyone due to the height of the bed :lol:

Do you remove the middle seat completely or how to you work it when you want to recline the seat to a bed?

Im early devon (wood not laminate) all the way. More hassle setting up the bed but i love them anyway.

Depends what I'm doing

Either remove the middle seat completely before camping, leaving the van as a 5 seater with (Dormobile under-seat) cooker and bed. I've got a wooden cabinet with a sink in the top to go behind the passenger side bulkhead when the middle seat is out.

Either that, or when camping, rotate the middle seat 180 degrees and lean it against the bulkheads if I want a lounge type seating area, or to carry more people, rather than a sink

Loads of room

ive got a devon which i love (loadsa character),but its a pain screwing the bed legs in.
but i can see the westy being more useful.

 

[dirtty dogg]

simple no frills and effective. like the idea of the seats facing if you have a few bods in there.

 

[K@rlos]

Can't go wrong with a Westy imo. I've altered mine slightly to suit my needs better by removing the sink and replacing it with a Sony X-plode 12 inch sub-woofer :mrgreen: and ditched the overhead rear shelf, the Westy pervs will scream I know but hey :lol:

Devon for me.

Although travelling light at the moment, bench seat, Z hinges and a swing out cooker.

:mrgreen:

i know what you mean about the legs, my plan of attack now is

arrive at site
set up sleeping area
then beers

failed once and got the last two muggled up :?

its REALLY hard work to screw the legs in late on at night, after a few beers and your a little worse for ware :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[dirtty dogg]

here what your saying karl, Mr westy never made room for all the essentials but im sure the perves will appreciate it .
the "perves" on the samber said about my westy looking interior that it was nothing like one? thought they were being funny but what they meant was it wasnt made of the same wood! but got some good feedback from it.
nice tidy devon sparky, like it alot, they are everso time consuming to make though. the travelling light pictures look like a real mans van.
