From minibus 9 seats (3+3+3 seats) to 2 people bed a little kitchen a table and mini chem WC.

The bed closed lie on the rear of 3 places rear seats, without change the internal structure.

In Italy minibus must be drive without bed, kitchens, table Is allow only baggage! not fixed structures

is allow only remove some seats to obtain more space for baggage.

to realize the bed base I use betulla ply wood painted with blue water enamel.
