Are you designing your interior around transporting your moto inside? Or are you using an outside carrier.

Kind of both. I will primarily be using a moto-caddy when I am solo, but I want to be able to have the option of carrying 2 bikes inside the van for security purposes.

Hope they work out for you. Freight is picking them up between 12 and 2 tomorrow, should be at your shop by Tuesday. I may be making a trip to Bellingham towards the end of the month, I'd love to check your rig out in person if I make my way up there. Can't wait to see what you do with the inside.

They should work well, thanks again.
Definitely LMK, maybe we could stop by MG's too if he's available.
Looking forward to seeing your updates...

Not too much to report as of late. Been up and down the coast doing some training courses for work, and was racing a 24 Hour this past weekend at Glen Helen. However, I just ordered some L-track, Fatmat, and my moto wheel chock yesterday, so that is some progress. Going to go pick out some flooring, and some OSB for underneath today, so hopefully I'll get a floor in the van by the end of next week. After that, I'll finalize my interior plans and go from there.

24hrs racing what?

Looking forward to your progress with FatMat and L-Track.

Motocross race at Glen Helen. 6 guys, and 2 bikes. Unfortunately, we DNF'd. Locked up one motor about 5 or 6 hours in, and then had a fuel tank issue during the night. Oh well, always next year. We've raced it a few times before, always a good time. And thanks! Got 75 square feet of FatMat, the thick stuff. I think that will do the areas that I want to get done, and then I can go from there if I need more. I only got 1 stick of L-Track to see if I like it, but I think I will end up with one or two more. I also got my flooring today at Home Depot. 1/2" OSB for the base, and 3/8 "Click" flooring, strand-style distressed bamboo. Pretty dark to hide stains and marks, I think it will end up nice. I'm excited to get going on it.

So after pulling everything out of the van, and starting to measure things up, my plan to have two seats facing each-other behind the driver may be a little far-fetched. I was going for a VW-style interior, without the full bench across the back. However, with the RB van, that looks like it may not work with the idea I have for my bed in the back. Anyone have any suggestions on places to get, or types of vans to look up that had a two-person bench seat? Thanks in advance, pictures with the FatMat and floor will hopefully be up this week. Looking to get it in on Monday and Tuesday.-Tucker

I think some Sprinters had them. I've seen them in OutsideVan builds. There's one in their Camping Van section IIRC with a Getman Shephard in it, brown van interior. Has what looks like a 2person bench seat. Pretty park bench like tho.

Yeah, it is pretty park bench like. Going to check out a couple of seats tomorrow hopefully. It may work out, I just need to see them in the van first and see if its even conceivable. Thanks for the tip.
