Thread: sleeping in a disco

sounds like you have plenty of room there. i have not slept in the disco, but a gu patrol wagon i had did a similar things with draws in the back, and then the rear seats folded up it was a nice level sizable bed. with a 2 inch thick foam mattress. you sound like you have a good plan. was good sleeping in the back of the patrol as everyone was setting up tents my bed was pre made haha. on cold cold nights it did get damp in there though, dew on the inside of the windows.
ive found a roof top tent that opens and closes with solar power, so will be saving my pennies for one of those rather than turning my disco into a bed

Something like this (seen at Cooma in 2008).

I figure, if I remove the back seat and build a base, with the usual draws etc. I could build a bed base with the front piece on a hinge which when folded back would allow for the front seats to move into their normal position.
My question is, Has any one else tried this before? Will it work for weekends away? It would save all the trouble of putting dew soaked tents away.

Got lazy up in the snow last year when arriving at about 2am. My double swag fits well in the back of my D3.

Mmmmm, music would be a bit loud for sleeping, wouldn't it??? and all those flashing lights ! :0

Yes a groan button would certainly be a useful addition to deal with people like me

Here's a thread from a few years back, with some photos of what I did for our D1: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-...ping-d1-3.html
