Oddly enough it never entered my head - it just seemed obvious to me that you would have your head at the tailgate end like a headboard and some lights to read by. Perhaps we've been doing it wrong for the past few years, but personally I think it feels the right way to be..... :D

I suppose that the way you get in and, the way you get out come into this discussion.
For example when we are both in bed I find it easier to "extract" myself without disturbing swmbo if I am feet to tailgate, but I have to say it is easier getting in if you are head to tailgate.
Forget about rust or gearbox or engine probs, this seems far more complex a subject :run

I find the bed moves less while I'm on it if I am head to the tail gate, plus it is easier to get into that way, especially if you have company :wink:

6' 2" tall here, so head at the tailgate and feet hanging off the other end, every time :)

Always used to do it normally (head to tailgate) until this year's holiday on Western Isles with 1 year old on parcel shelf bed. This forced us to change around.
At 6'3" I was concerned at not fitting, but found it was better as my feet did not hang out the end in the cold.
