Thanks mate.

I'll need to see what Ive got. Its not my best work. more thrown together to suit. Not even sure I have any specific photos of it in action. Yes, it goes to the front seats and sleeps two comfortably, with room for my medium sized dog.

I modified the front passengers seat to lift up and fold under the dash, allowing the bed to flip over into place. the vehicle can be driven with no encumbrances with the bed flipped down.


Here are a few all packed up last month for Alaska. spent 22 days living out of the landy, 10,000 miles total.






We also did a bit of work to the front area. mounted the ham radio, and enlarged the pockets to actually fit things. very useful. looks like **** in the pics, less so in person.





DUring construction

My slides turned up on friday so made a start with the drawer for the fridge,
i used the left over alloy tube plus some 10mm gal rod i got from bunnings.
Fridge sits into the drawer pretty snug and probably wont require any tie downs but i'll check that out once its finished.
Original plan was to have some 1.6mm gal sheet folded for the drawer but decided to use what i had or could get locally, the sheet at bunnings was $37 for 800x600mm so that helped my decision.
