Hi - anyone able to help me identify this conversion, I've not seen this before.
Also trying to figure out what the wooden slide-out is, a bed perhaps?
Any ideas? |

that looks kinda homebrew. and seeing as there are seatbelts back there, the back of the bench must have folded down. OR maybe the unit you have goes out the back of the bus for the rear tent option? is the unit loose or bolted down?
check behind the driver and passenger seats for a conversion sticker. Some converters put them there. also look for remnants of a sticker on the outside of the bus. More pics would be helpful |

man, neat layout but no idea..
looks like if both rear seats were in place the bed may rest on them for support?

It is a Devon conversion, if I'm reading my book correctly it is a Eurovette.
There are a couple good pics on page 59 of the David Eccles book VW Camper - The Inside Story

| Perfect thanks - I agree it is the Devon Eurovette conversion. Quite neat in my opinion. |

That's a pretty cool lay out. Nice.
