Sleep Across Your LWB Van and Unlock Room for a Full Kitchen, Shower & Garage
You bought the long van for space, so don't let a lengthways bed swallow it. These bolt-on GRP side pods widen your LWB Crafter or MAN TGE for a full 6'6" sleep width across, freeing over a metre of floor for the proper kitchen, washroom & garage you actually planned. Hand-built to order in the UK & backed for a year.
Will these fit your van? Check before you order.
These pods fit if:
- It's a 2017-onwards VW Crafter or MAN TGE
- It's a long wheelbase (LWB) van
- You have a sliding door (works on either or both sides)
- You do NOT have a factory mid window fitted
Good to know before you order:
- They won't work with 270° opening rear doors. Hinges must be swapped to the 180° option.
- They require a pair of side flare support beams to replace the beam cut out during fitting.
- Supplied in gloss-black gel coat & will need light prep before painting, or order them colour-coded to your spec.
Still unsure? Send us your reg & we'll confirm the fit before you spend a penny.
You bought a long van for the space. The bed still takes half of it.
- ✓ Did you go LWB for room, then watch a lengthways bed eat most of it?
- ✓ Are you choosing between a proper washroom & a usable garage, when you wanted both?
- ✓ Have you redrawn the layout again & again, always a metre short?
You're not imagining it.
Even a long van is too narrow to sleep across as standard.
So the bed runs front to back & quietly steals the length you paid extra for.
Every layout ends the same way.
The bed wins. The garage shrinks. The fixed shower gets cut.
You've probably already tried:
- ✓ A rock-and-roll or pull-out bed that turns every night into a reshuffle
- ✓ Sacrificing the washroom to keep the garage, or the other way around
- ✓ Telling yourself you'll "make it work" with the space you've got
Meanwhile the build stalls. The van sits on the drive. And another season slips by without the trips you bought it for.
Here's the good news.
You DON'T need to compromise the layout. You DON'T need to choose between a bed, a bathroom & a garage.
You need 6'6" of width.
Our GRP side pods bond onto your LWB Crafter or MAN TGE & give you exactly that.
A fixed transverse bed. Over a metre of floor back. Room for the full kitchen, washroom & garage you actually want.
Hand-built to order in the UK. Backed by a 1-year warranty. Trusted on real Wildworx builds & rated 4.9/5 across 101 verified reviews.

FAQ
Will these fit my exact van? They fit a 2017-onwards LWB Crafter or MAN TGE with a sliding door & no factory mid window. They won't work with 270° rear doors unless hinges are swapped to 180°. Send us your reg & we'll confirm before you order.
I already have a long van, do I still need pods? Yes, if you want a fixed bed without losing your floor. Sleeping across the van frees over a metre of length for a washroom, garage or larger kitchen that a lengthways bed would otherwise take.
Do I need to paint them? They come in gloss-black gel coat that needs light prep before painting, or you can order them colour-coded to your spec for a finished look.
Can I fit them myself? Yes. They bond on with the included approved adhesive. Prefer it done for you? Book professional fitting with Wildworx.
Can I have windows? Your choice: a blank panel, or opening windows with blinds.
How long until I get them? They're made to order in the UK, typically 2 to 3 weeks, then 3 to 5 working days to deliver.
