    Sleeping in a 90 - Any Ideas?

    A friend of mine bought a PUMA 90 recently and wants to build some sort of sleeping arrangement in there.

    The rear seats are in and she wants to keep them, she's thinking of a platform that she can fold out and by tilting the front seats forwards, give her plenty of room. 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.

    Cheers
    Bobby

    I saw a good idea in a 110. A cargo rack that folds down over the folded up seats and forms a bed base with the false floor in the back.

    That's sort of along the lines of what I'm thinking. Camp stretcher/ simple platform. Thanks mate.

    It was easier in the Series 2 and 2a the capping on the tub and transom are at the same height as the top grab rail on the firewall so all we did was have 2 pieces of plywood one for the rear and another over the front seats.
    Just another time that new things are not always better than old. 😉

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
