Try looking at www.rtmr.org then click the tab at the top that says “various Trafics”. You might get some inspiration from the photos on there.

Sorry, Anna, can't see your pictures. Could you try putting three of them (you can change them later) in your Image Gallery (via Members Only button at top right of this page) ?

Just found the bed instructions for my 1993 Renault Trafic Leisuredrive. It states two singles only.
You have to drop the seat backs and swivel the seats. Then lift the base cushions of the back seats, and pull the top of the box forward with it's supporting leg. Now you have room to put both cushions from the back seat down to form a line with the front seats. Slide the front seat for and aft to fit snugly. This will give you a single bed that is two cushions, plus the seat and back of a front seat long. Twice. God that sounds complicated!
I have two narrow cushions that fit nowhere. I could put the two table tops between the rear seat bases, and a home made piece of MDF between the front seats, but my two long narrow cushions are not quite long enough. Two singles are enough anyway.

Bit tricky to look at the photos because they just turn themselves round all the time! but my thoughts are :
The seat by the sliding door. Pull out the bit at the front of the seat. This should reach the front passenger seat, which, as said above, you will probably have to swivel and put the back down. This will make one bed. The other side you’ll do the same with the front seat and that should make another bed.
Is there a name on the van? There should be something on the passenger side wing, the back door or over the cab at the front.

I can only see one photo, and that is upside down. It looks like it once had windows over the windscreen which were blocked off. That would make it a Holdsworth, but it could be just an artifact on the photo?
Don't be in a hurry to buy an awning, they are expensive and you might find that you never use it.

I agree. There's a recent thread just about getting an awning - or not. Use your MH for a year first. If you move on every few days, you'll waste hours putting it up & taking it down. If you stay put for a week, and also if your MH interior is cramped, it'll give you storage space, room for the porta potti if you don't have an on board loo. But awnings are bulky and may be heavy, and you do have to be careful with weight in a MH. It's surprisingly easy to carry too much weight & then you are illegal (if you're caught in a random police check). Google motorhome weight limits as too complicated for me to explain.
Most important, enjoy yourselves - head off for a short trip close to home before a long adventure, to iron out any snags & find out what you forgot to pack.
------------- 2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.
