I'm going to compare/contrast this summer... My 2wd suby lifted full westy, vs. a syncro 16 eTDI reimo high-top conversion. Let the best van win! Whichever loses will get sold in august...
Expect a writeup by then... |

Due to the raised deck-lid (actually NOT for engine clearance in this case?!), i may have to remove the above-bed cabinet/storage area so that I don't whack my head constantly. |
Really interested in that raised deck and couch/bed and the hinges used. |
They use the hinges for the split and bay. It lifts the bed 16cm. i have the same in my -85 reimo. The space is 80x140-160x15cm i store 2 good chears, the camping table and som other stuff in there. I realy love this space. i just wish it could lift another 5-10cm. I have newer had anny big problems with my head hitting the roof cabinet.

I whacked my head all the time on a stock Westfalia camper storage-area (above rear bed), so I actually removed it and mounted speakers on each side - that gives me a channel to sit up in, without hitting my head.
I'm guessing on this one, I'll be whacking my head even more, because the deck height is raised ~6" (16cm), and there is still an overhead cabinet in-place. I'll likely end up having to yank that overhead cabinet out...
