Isn't she pretty! :)
Last weekend we visited Vanfest hoping to get some ideas for our MTB van conversion, but Malvern's vanfest proved immensely disappointing, there was plenty of the run of the mill conversions on display but unfortunately Amdro conversions (the top contender for our bespoke conversion) wasn't there, the only other company that may be suitable was dirty weekenders. It appears there is a gap in the market for mountain bike conversions.
Hopefully we will be able to get down to Bristol soon to be able to see one of the Amdro conversions in the flesh, they do look good, and they appear to have enough room to store two bikes in the rear. The only con against is the cost.

Dirty Weekender's design is slightly different, positioning the bed on high legs about 2 to 3 foot from the roof of the van, I can see the advantage of this if you transport long sports equipment like surf boards but not practical for our MTB van. They are willing to design a conversion bespoke to our needs though, and are very local, but we are yet to get a proper quote for the conversion so its hard to make an informed comparison of the two companies.

Awnings seem like a practical way to solve the issues of cooking/hanging out when the weather is pants, but some of the designs are truly awful, the reimo davos 2 seems to be the best on the market but after a search on t'erweb they don't appear to be readily available. Shame!
