This Cambridge conversion guide compares compact SWB and LWB kits where existing trim, cab seats or a bulkhead may constrain the layout. Measure the finished vehicle before treating any nominal van size as the furniture space.

Furniture layouts to compare
Use the current product drawings and pack contents alongside this guide. Compare the sleeping footprint, usable storage and space needed to open doors before choosing your finish.
Compact SWB bed and storage kit
U-shaped seating 1400 × 1700 mm, extending to a 1900 mm-long bed. Check the required 1420 mm interior clearance, bulkhead removal and cab-seat movement on the product page.
Compact LWB bed and storage kit
U-shaped seating, cupboard storage and a 1400 × 2000 mm bed footprint. Allow the full 2000 mm length and at least 1420 mm finished interior width.
Browse all U-shaped conversion kits, or compare separate kitchens and cupboards and overhead storage. Product images are renders; the listings show current options and prices.
Plan for a compact van with existing seats and trim
Record what will stay in the vehicle
Mark existing seats, trim, flooring and the bulkhead on a sketch. Label anything you intend to remove or replace so provisional measurements are obvious. Include projections at seat height and the position of the wheel arches. A dimension taken in an empty version of the same model may not match the space available in your finished van.
Check sleeping length separately from seating length
The compact SWB kit extends from its seating arrangement to a longer sleeping footprint and requires cab-seat movement and bulkhead removal. Verify those conditions for your build. The LWB kit uses a longer fixed footprint. Compare both modes against doors and seating rather than assuming a smaller seating arrangement automatically gives enough room at night.
Prepare your Cambridge conversion enquiry
Send the van make, model, year, wheelbase and roof height, the kit you are considering and your finished measurements. Include:
- Existing components that remain in place
- Finished width through the furniture height
- Cab-seat movement and bulkhead plan
State the receiving postcode and whether any floor, lining or equipment measurements are still provisional. Use the contact form, call 0330 043 2427 or email contact@888VanRacking.co.uk.
Delivery and Medway collection
For delivery to Cambridge, enter your full postcode at checkout and check the service for the selected kit. Provide access details for a home or workshop delivery and leave time to inspect and assemble the furniture before your first trip.
The featured conversion-kit listings offer £80 pallet delivery where that service is available, or free Medway collection by arrangement. Confirm service and price for Highland, island or restricted-access addresses. Rates for other furniture depend on the item and address. Check the shipping policy and your checkout options, or ask us to confirm delivery and lead time.
Before choosing your kit
Can I order from another owner’s measurements?
Use them only as a planning reference. Check your own model, generation, lining and installed components, then compare the finished measurements with the current kit drawings.
What work and equipment should I plan separately?
These are furniture kits. Check the chosen listing for assembly hardware and optional catches or fitting packs. Appliances, cushions, mattress and table support are separate on the featured kits. Confirm your vehicle fit and structural mounting arrangements. Use the lounge and bed while parked; they are not travelling passenger seats.
