Looks like you might have an awning there? Good to see another front toolbox, I have a Carawagon one on the front of my Dormobile :gold: .

I'm trying to work out if there is any furniture on the right hand side behind the rear seat, also wondering if the rear window on the left hand side is blacked out because of the height of the unit :stars:

Obviously the two door variants have narrow windows but I'm curious what was done on the four door variants.

Jerry, the rear arrangement is a double seat facing forward, then a single sideways facing seat behind that on the driver's side.
On Patrick's there was originally a fridge between the sideways seat and the rear of the vehicle - the rearmost sliding window pane on the driver's side and the rear quarter light had been replaced with 6mm aluminium.
There was a fridge vent in the middle of the rear quarter 'light'.

On the other side the top of the cabinet is a few inches higher than the bottom of the window :stars: - unlike the 2 door version where Searle made a special narrow height window, it looks like they used standard windowed sides for the SW version.
From the outside, this means you can see the back of the cabinet - which does look a little strange :stars:

In Karl's pictures, the blind has been pulled down to cover the window on that side.

If Patrick's was here I'd take some pictures.

Cheers,
Robin.

Good evening gents,

There are two slides still fitted in the rear next to the inward facing seat, when it purchased the vehicle the seller advised that a fridge had been fitted but broke down and was sent away for repairs and never came back.......
There are blinds on every window in the vehicle, even the windscreen. All perished beyond repair, will need to replace them all. I still can't figure out what the two plastic fittings are that look like they should mounted to windows......

Hi Karl, The plastic items look like they go on the outside of the drivers and passenger doors, wind deflectors of some sort I think :shrug:

Thanks for the info Robin although I'm still a bit confused about the lay out :tiphat:
