Hello chaps, don't know if you emailed or not but get in touch I'll be more than happy to give advice.

The van was great all last year and we completed about 3 weeks worth of camping in it! Not once has there been any issue with the bed - its surprisingly solid. Planning some more adventures this year but I need to work around how my currently 14month old daughter will sleep in there. She's now too big for her travel cot so can't sleep on a drop front seat.

I also need to build a table this spring. Planning on either a rail and clip system which can be stored against the van door when not used, or one on an offset pole which can swivel round.

Sorry no plans unfortunately but I could give you some measurements to work off. I'm off to France in it today for 16 days though so it'll probably be when I get back. For what it's worth, I'm not sure of the merit of the lifting bed, because of the access point in the front we very rarely need to lift the hatches up.

Replied to you Barney, you could just buy the van instead! I'm just about to sell it!
