VW T7 & Ford Transit Custom Crew Cab Storage & Drawer System | DualDeck
The Crew Cab Storage System (DualDeck) is a two-tier drawer and storage system for the VW Transporter T7 and the 2023+ Ford Transit Custom. It bolts to the factory mounting points behind the crew cab seats or bulkhead, with nothing cut or drilled.
A fixed upper deck carries long items, ladders and materials, or two mountain bikes with the Bike Bar. Below it, a full-length locking drawer runs on runners rated to 180kg: 1,200mm long in a SWB, 1,500mm in a LWB, 1,085mm wide and 495mm high inside. 18mm phenolic-coated birch ply, A4 stainless hardware, threaded inserts throughout. The drawer stays fully accessible with tailgate or barn doors, and you can still reach the vehicle jack.
It comes out when you sell the van. Nothing is cut and nothing is drilled, so the load bay goes back to standard. That also makes it lease-friendly: the van goes back exactly as it came. The system moves to the next van, or comes off the price of this one.
Built for tools, materials and site kit rather than sleeping. If you want a bed in the same van, look at the Switch for T7 & Transit Custom. Also fits panel vans and Kombis with different fixings; let us know your van when you order.
Made to order in our workshop in Clevedon, with a two-year warranty. Free installation here takes about an hour. Prefer delivery? It arrives fully assembled on a pallet and can be in the van within an hour of delivery.

Questions people ask
Which vans does it fit?
Crew cab versions of the VW Transporter T7 and the Ford Transit Custom from 2023, with tailgate or barn doors. It also fits panel vans and Kombis with different fixings, so let us know your van when you order.
Can I sleep on it?
It's built for tools, materials and site kit rather than sleeping. If you want a bed, look at the Switch for T7 & Transit Custom.
How big is the upper deck?
1,400 × 1,475mm in a SWB and 1,800 × 1,475mm in a LWB, at 580mm from the floor.
What fits in the drawer?
It's a full-length locking drawer, 1,085mm wide and 495mm high inside: stacking toolbox systems, power tools and site kit.
Can I carry bikes?
Yes. With the Ovano Bike Bar, the upper deck carries up to two mountain bikes.
Can I still get to the jack?
Yes. The vehicle jack stays accessible, and the drawer opens fully with either tailgate or barn doors.
Does it need drilling? Can I fit it in a leased van?
It bolts to the factory mounting points with nothing cut or drilled, so it's suitable for leased vans. The one exception is a factory-fitted rear auxiliary heater: that needs one small hole in the plastic trim and a small modification to the unit, which we take care of.
Will it fit with boxed wheel arches?
Yes, though a small notch may need cutting in the boxing so the unit's feet sit in the right position.
If I have it delivered, how long until it's in the van?
It arrives fully assembled on a pallet and can be in the van within an hour of delivery.
Can I see one first?
Visit us in Clevedon, near Bristol, or see one at Transporter HQ, Leighton Vans, Van Haven or Combe Valley Campers.
