I bought a VW Caddy Maxi today and should be collecting it on Monday. I have a 325L compact Facelift system going in, talked about it on another thread.. bloody thing has been sitting out my back garden for last few months waiting to go in a van. Lot of my orders went missing in post over christmas, eventually found but has slowed the whole process down massively.
The garage I bought van from won't bolt through chassis (As I expected insurance purposes, big commercial garage) and recommend I seek a van modification place. Anyways, as the title suggests not sure whether to go along back of bulkhead or lengthways. I know a few guys mentioned it will depend on whats underneath the chassis that could get in the way of the SS plates i'm bolting into which makes sense. Is there anybody on here with a Caddy maxi with tank bolted that could give me some advice on what's underneath etc? Also, what's the general consensus on working out of side vs back? Does it make a difference from a parking point of view domestically vs commercially as domestically surely you park sideways outside houses on the estates, where as commercial there is a lot of straight parking if that makes sense? Lots of other questions about people's setups, putting ply over floor after you waterproof, pole racks from roof or hooks on side ply, hose guide etc but a conversation for another day. Genuinely undecided which route I want to go, so many quality setups on here, it's difficult to know which way to go with it.
