Seating group

Seating group

Two benches along the walls that become one bed at night.

If your van is too short for a fixed bed, this is the layout that remains — and it is not a compromise, it is what most self-build packages deliver. Two benches sit along the side walls at the rear with the aisle between them: by day you face each other looking out through the rear doors, at night the two slatted frames slide toward each other into one surface. You sleep across the full width, so your sleeping length is your load width. The galley stands ahead of the benches against the wall. Everything stays below 900 mm, so no standing height is needed.

Who it is for

The self-employed owner of a work van who wants to get away at the weekend without buying a second vehicle. Everything unbolts, so on Monday it is a work van again.

• No standing height needed — everything stays below 900 mm
• Sleeping surface 1,260 × 2,040 mm, along the length of the van
• 320 litres of storage under the two benches
• Everything unbolts: a work van again on Monday

Fits these vans

Min. load length 2,009 mm · Min. load width 1,400 mm · Min. load height 1,000 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.
