No. Simple camper van conversion modules are designed to integrate with your vehicle without the need for any vehicle modifications or fixings and you do not need to remove the rear seats to use the module. The vehicle’s rear seats are actually integral to the design of the module since they provide the support structure when the module is unfolded. To use the module in your vehicle, you just need to fold the back rest forward on each rear seat so that it rests on the seat base. Please read the Installation section on our website for further information.
The back seats can be removed if you are looking to increase storage space within the vehicle, but you will need to use suitable storage boxes (plastic boxes with lids are a good solution) to replicate the rear seats so that the module is supported when unfolded. The storage boxes will need to be the same height as the folded rear seats.
Our camper van conversion modules are designed to be used in standard passenger vehicles with rear seats fitted, however, our modules can usually be used in a Wheelchair Adapted Vehicle if the vehicle is returned to its original condition by removing the adaptations. Typically this will involve:
- Removing the spare wheel from the boot (if it has been relocated here).
- Removing the ramp and all the associated winches, belts and fixings.
- Returning the boot floor to its original height by filling in the sunken centre section where the ramp was located.
Replacing the missing passenger seats; or supporting the module in the centre section when it is unfolded by using suitable storage boxes (sturdy plastic boxes with lids are a good solution) or by fabricating a simple wooden support structure to replicate the support that the rear seats would normally provide.
There are numerous different Wheelchair Adapted Vehicle styles and if you are unsure if your vehicle will be compatible, please send us some photographs (you can find our contact details here) and we will happily advise you further regarding your specific vehicle. If you are yet to purchase a vehicle, we would advise buying a standard 5 seater passenger vehicle for best fit with our conversion modules.

Please note that our camper van conversion modules will not work in vehicles with:
- 3 front seats installed (unless the van is a LWB version).
- A fixed bulkhead behind the front seats (although these can usually be removed).
A front passenger seat that does not have backrest adjustment, meaning that the seat is either upright or flat and cannot be angled in between these 2 positions (unless the van is a LWB version).
Less than 1150mm between the wheel arches if ply-lined.

Bear in mind that it is unusual to sleep completely stretched out and taller users can stretch out by placing their feet between the front seats of the vehicle when lying down, or folding the front seat/s flat if your vehicle offers this feature. We recommend sleeping with your feet facing the front of the vehicle to maximise vehicle space and make entry/exit through the side doors easier.

Our thermal window blinds fix to the windows using easily removable suction cup attachments and are manufactured in the UK using a high quality 3-layer construction: a reflective foil coated exterior layer helps to reduce excess heat build-up inside the vehicle, an internal air pocket system helps to keep the interior cooler on warm days or warmer on cooler days, and a black polyester damp resistant interior lining helps to reduce condensation.
Please note that all our thermal window blind sets are specifically designed to be non-reversible. Reversible window blinds do not work well for camper vans since they allow light to penetrate through the attachment points. Our thermal window blinds feature blanked attachment points inside the vehicle to reduce light penetration and create a darker interior that makes sleeping more comfortable.

If you wish to coat your module to increase the water resistance and/or to protect the module surface from spillages and stains we recommend using Osmo PolyX Oil 3062 Clear Matt. Osmo PolyX Oil uniquely combines the advantages of natural plant oils and waxes in one product and is stain-resistant, water repellent and abrasion-resistant. Osmo products can be purchased online at Wood Finishes Direct. A 375ml tin will provide full coverage.
Alternatively, you can also use any suitable wood paint or wood varnish but please note that applying any product (and in particular, gloss products) to the surface of the module may reduce the friction between the module surface and the cushion set, causing the cushion pieces to slide in use.
