I have a small counter and was only planning on a sink in this space but found a tiny sink stove combo available in the UK so installed it. Fit perfectly...

I really like that sink/stove combo. Is it an SMEV? Could you tell me which one or shoot me a link? I'm looking for the right solution for my build too.

Thanks

The SMEV units are nice but even the smallest was about an inch too big front to back for my space. I found this Can unit in the UK -

They wouldn't ship to the US so I ended up having it sent to a friend in the UK and had him ship it for me. Ended up costing quite a bit more doing it that way but it was the only unit I found that would fit my needs so well worth it.

I hope that works out. I've been using mine for a while now and it works great, So much more convenient!

I had a chance to see this rig in person and it is definitely a beautiful interior and looks awesome!

...Any advice or what not on this top?..

: ) what 12xplore said :

I love the solid hardtop. I am often in wet and cold areas...

My wife and i've had our 24" fiberine hardtop on our 2010 van (info-image link) since it was ~2 months old off the lot new back then. We luv it. It is also my wife's daily driver. She has no issues with driving it like a mini-cooper in town : )

It's been a long time since I've posted but made a couple recent mods so decided to share a bit. I have swivel bases for both front seats but always found when they were facing the rear they seemed lower than I thought was comfortable. I chopped some 2x3" steel and put the blocks on the corners to give it a 2" lift. Much more comfortable when interacting in the main living area and I like the higher view out the front windscreen as well. Two inches doesn't sound like much but it made a noticeable difference. Also, 2" is about as high as you can go or the seat will interfere with the inside door handle. As far as head room, I'm 6'2 and still have plenty of clearance to the headliner.

I also built this bench and installed a Lagun table mount. It allows me to position it high for extra counter space or lower it to use as a table for the bench seat or the front seats when swiveled around.

Very well thought out van. I hope to build something similar. Still in my dreaming phase right now. Yours gives me lots of ideas though.
