Here are a couple of quick pics on a cold foggy morning. The side view is thru the side opening door and shows the bike mounted and the wheel in place in the wall mounting fork. There is provision for a second wheel below the one shown.
The end view is from the rear of the van and shows the cabinets and bike from the rear. The cabinets are Maple hardwood and dovetailed together. The one on the left is composed of three shelves behind the one center hinged door which has a brass ring on the opening side.
The one on the right has a hanging compartment for clothes behind the front half of the cabinet door which in center hinged, and three shelves behind the solid portion of the cabinet face.
We can fit a tandem within the van and still have room to lay out a sleeping bag along side it. When there are two bikes in place, it does get a bit more crowded but is still possible to sleep two. By going this route rather than the bike rack on the outside, which we did on other vehicles, the bikes are protected from the elements and you can lock them up inside the van and go off and explore some non bicycle environements and come back and find your bikes safe and sound. The van also provides for the hauling capacity that was formerly done by a pickup truck which it replaced.
