Front Shelf

Books, maps and the Scrabble tend to accumulate at the front of the van. The shelf illustrated holds a copious amount of literature freeing up the horizontal surfaces for other uses. Made from 8mm MDF it is shaped a little steeper than the roof so that the items can be left there while travelling (well on smooth roads it's OK!)  The  fastening is by screws placed through the aluminium from outside (not through the roof itself), and all dimensions are critical to maximise size without fouling anywhere when the van is folded down.
