Westfalia owners: help with dimensions please?

[richlaz]

Could any Westfalia owners please do me a favour and measure the width and depth of their 3/4 bed base?

Reason I'm asking, I'm in the middle of "butchering" my original Westy bed base, which used to be a full width bed (which is also a lot deeper than a 3/4 model for some strange reason)

Many thanks

when you say deeper...what do you mean ?

and which bit do you mean when you say bed base....

[richlaz]

The actual wooden bed base. The width of the "kick panel", and depth of the wooden frame from front to back.

The side pieces of the wooden frame, when in place against the contour of the engine bay, it blocks the socket/circuit breakers on the side (water tank) cabinet, so the depth will need to be cut down to match that of the 3/4 bed base

E D I T: it's difficult to explain, will take a photo when I get home

from end to end (width) is 122cm






depth is 35cm



hope that helps

Back to front is a tadge over 40cm

Thanks very much for that - exactly what I was after

If you see my pics below, the depth of my original full width bed is slightly more, and it blocks the socket outlet. Also, the left hand side of the base protrudes infront of the sliding door - in which yours doesn't.

I'll probably end up cutting around 5-6cm from the front edge of my "side pieces", then re-attaching the brown edging strip (rather than cutting the angles at the rear and drilling more holes for the hinges).

They're also a slightly different design, as in your hinges are hidden behind the wood, and mine are on show - not sure if this is just an early/late difference or if it's to do with the 3/4 or full width options.

Thanks again for your info and photos - it's much appreciated
