Agree. Don't see why it wouldn't work. Top of our R&R seat back is in about same rearward position up as it is when down. Seat bottom moves forward about 35-40cm in bed position. Could measure our R&R as seat and bed for you if needed. Let me know.

Are you spending more nights in it? Or just planning ahead.

i has a look at peets multivan full length R&R bed. if i raised the seat a couple of inches it would over shoot the metal battery box the seat runners are on. once the front seats are swiveled round and pushed back a small but adequate bed can be made i recon.

aether way i could make one fit i recon and was just wondering if i could learn owt off someone else's mistakes.

remember a doka only has one back door too.

i did it to a doka years ago, i made the rear seat full width of the cab, then the double passenger seat i modified to fold back, so like other guys say the seat moves forward then the back folds down and rested on the edge of the back seat .
sorry i dont have any pics.
my and my chick travelled all over the uk and had a great time, it was very cosy!
i had a gas stove behind the driver seat as well!
