Reinforcement Plate on Single Chassis Cab Vehicles
5.1.5 Cab Van Floor
NOTE: Cab Van Floor Models are currently only
available for use in Motor Caravan applications.
Please refer to general advice and warnings for
Chassis Cab. For the Cab Van Floor vehicle, the
following guidelines apply in addition:
•
Design a sufficient connection in the B-pillar
area (sidewall to cab connection) as shown
in Figure E74864.
•
The body side skirt reinforcements are the
main area where the floor and/or the sidewalls
of the conversion should be connected to.
For this purpose, use the holes and M8 weld
nuts provided on the top land and on the sides
of the side skirt reinforcements.
•
It is recommended to use additional U-type
fixings around the main rails and cross
members for floor fixings wherever possible.
•
For additional seat fixings behind the cab.
Refer to: 5.5 Seats (page 209).
(Figure E74532 Typical Design Principle for
Cab Van Floor Seat Frame fixing).
•
It is not recommended to cut the side skirt
reinforcement for e.g. a doorstep.
Attachments to the base vehicle.
Refer to: 5.11 Frame and Body Mounting (page
