What fits
- Standing: 1.37 m floor-to-headliner, about 1.30 m after a typical 7 cm floor and ceiling build-up — a sit-down van; adults crouch or pop the top.
- Bed across: 1.67 m between the walls, about 1.61 m after 6 cm of finished walls — too short for an adult across; plan the bed lengthwise or add wheel-box flares.
- Parking: 1.91 m tall outside — clears a standard 2.0 m garage barrier (French motorway class 1).
- Payload: about 1,100 kg — 3,000 kg gross minus 1,900 kg kerb. After a typical 600 kg build and the EN 1646-2 two-person reserve of 146 kg, roughly 354 kg is left for water, gear and people.

Who makes this
I'm Vladimir. I'm planning my own conversion, and none of the tools I tried could tell me whether a layout would fit or what it would do to the rear axle, so I made this one. I work on it alone. If something's wrong or missing, write to me — the address goes to my inbox.
