Philip, I have, actually registered as a two seater now. I have a 40lt fridge in the middle, just behind the console and made up some frames to locate commercial fish box with lid on either side, drinks are stowed behind the fridge. I am considering redoing the area and have got a few ideas from FB pages. If I was doing it again, think I would locate fridge on one side and have a false floor level with top of fridge and mesh to stop stuff falling on the fridge. I am also looking at modifying door hinges to allow them to open wider. Still thinking about the change.

I ran
mine as a two seater all the time that I had it. Racking in the centre between 2 cargo barriers.
If you go down that path Philip, it may
well be worth looking at beefing up the rear spring tower supports with a kit to deal with added weight.

Mick

Philip , I removed 2nd & 3rd row seats and put in a removeable flat base which is 1900 X 1200mm and which allows you to sleep in the car. Takes about an hour to convert back to 5 seater.
However its so useful to carry things around town that it only gets switched over 2 or 3 times a year.
By careful choice of camping gear we are able to carry everthing required for long trips inside the car.
We have several iteration's of this and attached is photo showing a small fridge which fits (just) between the front seats.
This photo has the 6 inch foam mattrest removed.
It has a removeable platform across back , same height as the
camp chairs, which carries stove water and picnic case .
Chainsaw is electric so no fumes.
