Sleeping in a 90 - Any Ideas?

Len Beadell had a similar set up in his shorty. If I recall there is a photo or two in his books. All very basic but it works.

...The 90" wheelbase!

I've stretched myself out over the boxes etc I have in the rear. Feet were draped over the center console, and head was against the back door.
Hammock might not have the length to get a good drape on the the sleeping area (inside, as least!)

As for the stretcher design, that pic is a hard top with the bulkhead. The wagon puma 90's have the cross bar, which may impact on such a set up.

This was a fellow called Herbert Zipkin's idea (in a 109, but it would work in a 90). Should work well, so long as not much hanky-panky is planned.

Not then length for a man giant such as yourself...which is really why you should upgrade to a 130

Stretcher in back at same height as folded rear seats?

She's only 5'4" so length isn't so much of an issue, it's more about the ease of carrying the platform in the vehicle, folded up while in transit.

I think it's easily doable, but am keen to see if anyone has thought of or done this before and explore what sort of solutions people have come up with.

Perhaps you could get some ideas from this... http://caranex.com/pdfs/brochure.pdf

Or you could use the idea of an extended sleeping bed as in small pop top campers Screen Shot 2017-08-17 at 1.34.59 pm.jpg
