You might want to check orton's DIY thread here (as you may have done already):Looking for some Transit cargo 148WB MR 2D drawings for laying out camper/conversion plans. Easily found for Sprinters, but have seen nothing for Transit.
The Transit 148wb interior cargo length appears to be 11" longer than the 144wb Sprinter,...but both the same width (69").

What format do you want the drawings in? I have 2D drawings for a 148"WB high roof (not extended) van. At least they would be a start.Looking for some Transit cargo 148WB MR 2D drawings for laying out camper/conversion plans. Easily found for Sprinters, but have seen nothing for Transit.

I found this 3D Sketchup model. Maybe you can play around with it.

You can use a free version called Make. I found it very easy to use.

It is not the 2015 US version but it is easy to resize.
Bought a 148WB, Medium Roof, 3.5L today. My build is to be similar to the Sportsmobile 131S....hmmm, cannot seem to download that,...it calls for a jackknife sofa behind the driver seat, and cabinets on both sides. In the far back, a low structure on one side for a Thetford 550P.What format do you want the drawings in? I have 2D drawings for a 148"WB high roof (not extended) van. At least they would be a start.
I had the same problem. Using a free program Inkscape (which produces easily editable SVG files), I took some images from Ford manuals and promotional literature (which I can't seem to find now), lightened them and put them in the background. I had to do a little surgery on the floor shots to produce an extended length van. I drew in the layer above using a scale factor to create dimensions that matched those found in various Ford documents.Looking for some Transit cargo 148WB MR 2D drawings for laying out camper/conversion plans.

Those are informative,...a blank of #3 is one thing I'm looking for,...so I can print and draw on it. Something like the attached,...but of course, in a 148WB MRI had the same problem. Using a free program Inkscape ....
I saved copies in pdf format for sharing. This was done some time ago and have not updated the attached drawings lately. The whole approach is a bit crude but when I actually get a Transit maybe I'll overlay more detailed drawings over photographs. Depends on who needs what.
I am not convinced of the accuracy of the dimensions shown in those drawings.Those are informative,...a blank of #3 is one thing I'm looking for,...so I can print and draw on it. Something like the attached,...but of course, in a 148WB MR
Orton has a ton of great information, including his drawings here:Hi Orton,
Could you possibly send me these files as well? It would come in very handy for our conversion layout. Cheers, Terence M.

The trick for sleeping across the back of van is to utilize the window indents. Minimum insulation at window location to maximize the width. My bed platform will provide a 74" bed length at a 32 1/2" elevation above the top of the corrugated metal van floor. I removed the factory floor covering and will have a 1 1/2" composite insulated floor. (Pictures soon if I do not exceed this site's data limit)
The bed platforms (4) pivot down to rest on top of the 30" high table top. The bed platforms are 27" wide and are hinged at the side walls. Two on each side. Two back ones down for one person sleeping platform and four down for two people. Use two self inflating 24" wide camp pads/person for the mattress. Four total. During the day the bedding for the front bed is placed on top of the bedding for the back bed. Front two panels then pivoted back up so front half of table is usable for two people during the day.
Go to ortontransit.info for printable PDF drawings. Also lots of conversion information that may be of use.Any chance you could possibly share these with me if they exist? new to the forum and planning my first van conversion
