Transverse bed

Transverse bed with seating

Transverse bed, a big galley and a bench to sit on.

Because the transverse bed costs so little length, a van of around 3.50 m also fits a full 1,060 mm galley plus a bench opposite the worktop. That is the layout that lets you stay inside on a rainy day without having to sit on the bed — and that is exactly what most self-builders regret not doing.

Who it is for

Two people who travel outside the season too, when the weather drives you inside.

• Full 1,060 mm galley with a fridge bay
• Bench opposite the galley: sit inside when it rains
• Garage under the transverse bed

Fits these vans

Min. load length 2,809 mm · Min. load width 1,800 mm · Min. load height 1,550 mm

Manufacturers measure load spaces differently: sometimes at the narrowest point, sometimes at the widest, sometimes with and sometimes without the original wall lining. The difference can be 30 to 50 mm — and at 'tight' that is exactly the difference between fitting and not. Measure your own van and enter it in the configurator. Your measurement always beats our table.

How big is the sleeping surface of the Transverse bed with seating layout?

1400 by 1870 millimetres, worked out for a Fiat Ducato L2H2. That is the real dimension including wall thickness, not the nominal mattress size — in a wider or narrower van it shifts, and the configurator recalculates it for your own measurements.

What does the Transverse bed with seating layout weigh?

The furniture itself weighs 173 kg. That comes straight off your payload. Water, gas, batteries, luggage and the people are on top of it; reckon on another 350 to 450 kilos for two people travelling.

What does the Transverse bed with seating layout cost and when does it arrive?

€2,045 as a complete layout, against €2,270 if you order the same sets separately. Fronts are included. We cut to size on order, so the lead time is 5 working days. Order today and it ships on Thursday 29 October.

How much aisle is left with the Transverse bed with seating layout?

770 mm in a Fiat Ducato L2H2, with 1.67 m³ of garage left over. Below 550 mm you pass sideways; above 650 mm two people pass each other. In a wider van it grows automatically.
