Ford Transit Custom Conversion: Furniture and Bench Seat Kits

Which generation of Transit Custom?

The Ford Transit Custom exists in two main generations:

• Older generation: 2012–2023
• New generation: 2024–

Interior dimensions and some anchor points may vary between these versions. It is therefore essential to check:

• The exact year of the vehicle
• The length (L1 or L2)
• The height (H1 in most cases)
  

Some modules are compatible with both generations, while others may require slight adaptation or be specific to one version. Each product sheet clearly specifies compatibility.

The aim is to avoid any confusion between old and new generations: make sure to select the furniture corresponding to your exact configuration before confirming your order.

Which Exokit furniture for Ford Transit Custom?

The collection brings together the main modules needed for a complete or progressive Transit Custom conversion kit.

Side furniture

Side furniture optimizes space along the walls of the van. It offers:

• Closed storage with doors
• Open niches
• Possibility of integrating a sink or a worktop
  

They are designed to respect the available width and maintain a comfortable central passage.

Benches and beds

Several sleeping solutions are available for the Ford Transit Custom:

• Clic-clac benchconvertible into a bed
• Front U-shaped bench transformable into a bed
  

These systems allow you to create a modular living area during the day and a bed at night, without complex disassembly. Bed widths vary according to layout and vehicle length (L1H1 or L2H1).

Rear storage

Rear columns and complementary modules make use of the vehicle's depth:

• Vertical storage
• Technical cupboards
• Modules combinable with benches

They allow the rear space to be structured while maintaining easy access from the hinged doors.

Gas boxes

The sealed gas boxes are designed to house an R904 type cylinder or equivalent, in compliance with safe installation principles. They are designed to integrate cleanly into a Transit Custom conversion without excessive loss of space.

L1H1 and L2H1 compatibility

The Ford Transit Custom is mainly converted into:

• L1H1 (short)
• L2H1 (long)

The main difference concerns the usable rear length.

In L1H1

• More compact layout
• Necessary optimization of sleeping area
• Priority to combined modules

In L2H1

• Greater freedom of layout
• Possibility of increasing sleeping width or depth
• Easier addition of columns or complementary modules
  

Modular furniture allows the conversion to be progressively adapted according to the chosen length.

Installation and scalability

The furniture is delivered in kit form, cut from 15 mm birch plywood, ready to assemble.

Difficulty level

• Accessible for DIY
• Requires rigor and method
• Installation possible with standard tools
  

Tools generally required

• Screwdriver
• Clamps and/or mallet
  

Modularity allows a module to be added later: for example, start with a bench, then complete with a side unit or a rear column.

The conversion can evolve over time without having to dismantle everything.
