Re: How much room in the back...
We have 17.5" bike frames. The width of the van wouldn't even begin to accomodate a bigger bike frame, like our road bikes with 21" frames. You may have to take the wheels off and if that's the case it probably isn't worth pursuing recessed walls. We may loose some insulation, not sure how much if any. We made a point of not going any wider than 71" so that we could salvage as much insulation as they can possibly fit in there. The recessed walls cost extra since it's custom. The selection of lonplate for the recessed wall covering also cost extra (it was going to be standard cloth or vinyl otherwise).
We're leaving the method of tie-down installation up to SMB, but we did specify heavy duty and they know what our intended use is. $30 each including installation.
Working with Jeff at SMB West. He's great.
Good luck with yours! We're so looking forward to getting out with the bikes and the van.
