VW T7 & Ford Transit Custom Kombi Bed & Drawer System | Switch
Switch fits the VW Transporter T7 and the Ford Transit Custom from 2023, using the van's own mounting points. It goes in without a hole drilled and comes out in about twenty minutes.
Drawer, bulkhead and full-width sleeping platform in one unit: 18mm black phenolic birch ply, A4 stainless hardware, runners rated to 180kg. Secure tool storage during the week, a bed 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. 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.
Goes with it
- Drawer mats — stop tools sliding and scraping on the move
- Bike Mount Rail — bikes on the floor alongside, up to six depending on sizes
- B-Pillar swing out table
If you need load capacity rather than a bed, look at the Crew Cab Storage System. The rest of the range is in T7 & Transit Custom.

Questions people ask
Which vans does it fit?
The VW Transporter T7 (panel van or Kombi, with or without rear seats) and the Ford Transit Custom from 2023 (panel van or crew cab; on crew cabs the rear bulkhead comes out), with tailgate or barn doors.
Can I reach everything in the drawer?
Yes. The runners are full extension, so the whole SWB drawer comes out to you. In a LWB the drawer pulls out 1,200mm of its 1,500mm, and the rear flap lifts so you can reach the rest from above.
What fits in the drawer?
It's 1,085mm wide and 495mm tall inside: stacking toolbox systems, power stations and camping kit.
How quickly does it change from bulkhead to bed?
About five seconds. Lower the bulkhead and the bed is there.
Can I still use the drawer when the bed is down?
Yes. The drawer works in all three configurations, so you never lose access to what's underneath.
Will I fit on the bed?
The SWB bed is 1,900mm long, which suits most people up to about 6 ft 2 in. The LWB bed is 2,300mm.
I have a panel van. Do I need to buy legs?
No. The legs that support the bed in a panel van come with every Switch.
Does it need drilling? Can I fit it in a leased van?
It fixes to the van's own 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.
How long does it take to remove?
About twenty minutes.
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.
Will it rattle?
It's built not to. Threaded inserts instead of wood screws, anti-vibration mounts and side supports as standard.
How is it different from a kombi bed platform?
A platform gives you somewhere to sleep and leaves whatever you carry on the floor underneath, out of reach. The Switch gives you the bed plus a full-extension drawer, so everything under the bed comes out to you. That's the part owners use every day.
Switch or DualDeck?
The Switch if you want a bed. The DualDeck if you have a crew cab and want two levels of load storage instead.
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.
The team were incredibly welcoming and it was a pleasure to see the system fitted in person. The build quality is something else! I cant recommend enough
Great piece of kit unreal but would love if when the draw was out I could lock it in place but other than that amazing
