Hi Jim,

Depends what you are after furniture wise but a one option is actually a boat shop or marine supplier as most of the fixtures, fittings and furniture suitable for a boat could also work in the more restricted space of a campervan.   If you are looking for actual units and bench seats a campervan or motorhome supplier such as Reimo has purpose built units but these are expensive and VW-orientated (not sure if there is a transit equivalent?).  If you are half handy with a hammer and nails it's not too bad building some basic units from plywood and then finishing them off with laminate, proper handles etc.  The other thing would be to get existing units from an old motorhome or campervan.  A mate also told me of a company down grimsby / hull way who sold secondhand motorhome bits and bobs, definitely cushions and upholstery but not sure about furniture?  Might be the same place you are thinking of but sorry, quite uselessly I can't remember the details either

Let us know how you get on.
