Subtitle - A desperate attempt to aviod towing anything !
In our case its a GU patrol, but wondering if any have
configured there wagons for sleeping 2 inside ?
With kids moving into there own cars we are starting to have
more trips without backseat passengers.
We don't like the use of cargo barriers so potentially
we have a significan, but not overly large cargo cavity into
which a double bed arragement might be feasible.
We have multiple setups for our car, and one which has proved useful in the past is to remove one of the rear bucket seats and i constructed a framework to extend the cargo area forward to the back of the driver
seat hence making a flat floor area big enough for one.
Worked
well for one, but now we need a double.
The natural question is how to design things such that ->
A/ You can get into/out of bed easily
B/ Have to be able to carry all your camping gear without
piling it on top of the bed.
My initial idea is to build a flat floor the height of a can of food
above the existing cargo area, and extending to the back of the front row of seats.
This compromise might allow enough headroom for the sleepers and also allow some storage space underneath for chairs ,food etc.
How much headroom is needed for comfortable sleeping (600mm)?
The front 500m of this new floor would be removeable or hinged so that it could be placed where the upright of the current 2nd row seats are, and over the rest of the rasied floor.
Hence forming an emergency
seat, or alternate cargo space setup.
I.E. We wish to have our cake and eat it to.
