I have been working on a platform bed arrangement that is removable and means we can get away for the weekend with 'her in doors', the dogs and some kit.
Here is the mark 1 version.
The base frame which acts as a kind of large parcel shelf has two legs that slide out to create the length of bed appx 195 cm and almost full width of van. The frame was self fabricared and welded together
The frame simply lifts in bolts to the existing anchor points in the van floor. The seat that I fitted is the folding type and is fitted so that it can be un bolted from inside the van. All this means that I can convert to and from a van to weekend camper. Still needs a little finishing.
I have covered the boards in the carpet that was left over from my lining project.
Cheers.
