We decided to mock up the layout with cardboard. A local warehouse has 4×4 pallet pads that are 1/2 inch thick. They work great for building boxes and getting a feel for the layout. Held together with white glue. And they’re free! The mock up allowed us to check passage ways, door clearances and get an overall feel of the vision.

We ordered SeeMore with only the rear and sliding door windows. While the black out factory windows are a great look, we didn’t like the slide openings and we wanted tip-out bottoms with screens so they could stay open in the rain. Not a problem; surely CR Laurence will have windows to fit the bill. Wrong! While they had a window for the regular body, they did not have one for the long body. We even got so far as to get a part number only to find out they weren’t going to make it. Recently they did come out with a universal window that is a much better fit for the space on the Transit. We think it’s a really good look and provides the tip-out feature. We added the MaxxFan MA00-06200K to take advantage of the tip-out feature.
