Campers Road Trips

Really? VY is larger than HQ-WB
Have you ever measured it? Having the rear wall and glass removed or modified helps.

I have not measured, more a feeling thing, I haven't been in the back of an original for a long time so I might be dreaming.
I was under the impression that I could not remove the back glass in the Monocoque Chassis, would definitely be interested if its possible. Guessing it would involve quite a bit of work to strengthen the chassis. Would also have to sort the seal on the back first or end up with dust everywhere.

It would require an engineers report (as mine did) and you do need to over engineer it somewhat. The VU-VZ are basically a station wagon just like the FJ-HG panelvans. I'm not so sure about the VE-VF. I believe the Ute liner hides a lot of holes in the VE-VF and without the liner, crap would just full on the road?

I have seen a VE done on the Vanning show scene. So it can be done.
Dust seal in another thing you would need to correct.
Maybe a tail tent would be best suited to you?

Here is a picture of mine done back in 2014/5
I lifted the original Ute turret 4 inches through the centre area as well. Then fitted a Caprice sunglass console and interior light

That looks great!

You're right, there is not much to the bed under the liner, I had mine removed, thinking to seal it with a spray on liner.














I would not sell mine, but rather give up my unit/apartment in favour of a 4wd Iveco van for longer trips, something with a shower and small kitchen that I can just pull over and sleep in safely.
I live at work 2 weeks out of 3, so really only need a place 10 nights a month on average.
Giving up the unit would give me the finances to have both cars and maybe a storage shed somewhere, as well as saving for a bush block.

That's not as bad as I thought. But still they are relying on the plastic bed liner. Reminds me of the old single skin Ford Escort panel vans.
