Boards in. Floor space kept.

Switch Narrow is the same system in a narrower footprint, so long items still fit alongside: light stands, tripods, step ladders, surfboards. It fits a T5 or T6 without cutting or drilling, and comes out in twenty minutes.

18mm black phenolic birch ply, A4 stainless hardware, runners rated to 180kg. Secure storage during the week, a full-length bed or load platform at the weekend.

Supplied as standard with our OneTouch drawer system, so the drawer opens with one hand when the other one is full.

It comes out when you sell the van. No holes to fill, no bodywork to make good. The system moves to the next van, or comes off the price of this one.

Made to order in our workshop in Clevedon, and backed by a 2-year Ovano warranty.

Goes with it

If you do not need the floor space alongside, the Switch XL gives you a wider bed. The rest of the range is in Transporter T5 & T6.

So far so good!

Expensive but if you buy cheap you buy twice! Build quality is superb, I expected some rattling but it's silent! All the fixtures are high quality and fitting is easy. I'm using it in conjunction with the forty winks mattress, also great quality although a little hard! The draw has enough space for a total cool fridge and a battery power station with room to spare. I will be exploring the option of adding a second drawer as a kitchen station.
