Bench bed only

Just the bed. The only layout that fits an L1.

A short van simply has no room for a fixed bed and a galley. This layout is honest about that and delivers what does fit: two benches along the side walls with a 700 mm aisle between them, and 380 litres of storage below. In the evening you pull a slatted frame out of each bench; together they fill that aisle and you sleep across the full width of the van. You cook outside on a portable burner, or add a Kitchen 643 later once you have a longer van. Everything stays below 900 mm, so no standing height is needed.

Who it is for

Anyone with a short van who wants to sleep in it now and then without cooking in it — festivals, races, a night at the start line.

• Needs only 2,140 mm of load length — fits any L1
• Sleeping surface 1,260 × 2,040 mm, along the length of the van
• 320 litres of storage under the two benches
• Extendable with a galley later if you move to a longer van

Fits these vans

Min. load length 1,366 mm · Min. load width 1,400 mm · Min. load height 700 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.
