Is this a silly idea

FTS800 Bus.......
OK guys and girls.

I am still havent come up with a Canter just yet. I had one all lined up, however the history of the vehicle didnt match the stories told.

Give me a week or two and I should have one.

In the mean time. I have come up with a sleeper cab. But bigger than I wanted but perfect maybe.

It is about 1880mm long, 2200mm high have to add a bit I think for the mounts.and 2400mm wide(maybe a tad wide. Its a bit bigger than what I was looking at. But has a double bed in it, fridge, own a/c if you hook a compressor to it off then engine. You can stand up in it, has little cupboards. The double bed may be able to modified to make a table during the day, like caravans etc. Also there is room to put toddler beds on each side above.
It is a walk through from cab design. I could reduce the height by about 200 or 300 mm by taking the top bunk extension off. But that would require a new roof etc.

I was thinking of having 3 seats in the rear of the dual cab instead of 4, using the 4th space to cut the cab for a walk way and having the window out. Using the same stuff trucks do.

Best part is I can have this cab for around the 2500 mark. I reckon it would cost around 2k to have someone fit. Any one know who could do this job?

Then just need small rear canopy tray, however it will only be about 1300mm? Is this too short? Really only need a canopy for kitchen and other camping stuff?


Whats peoples thoughts?

Cheers
