I am always very appreciative of the people who offer helpful and constructive advice on here. Unfortunately, there is occasionally ,a comment which is neither helpful nor constructive.
I can understand removing the bunk etc. We have done that with a couple of vans as there are only 2 of us.
If theOPs van is within the 85% guidelines it should be perfectly ok. I can't see the point in removing much else-other than unessential clutter which tends to accumulate over time!
