I sleep with my head at the back of the van, mainly to stop the pillows rolling onto the floor!
Never really though of sleeping the other way though...

Head to the tailgate.

Head at the tailgate, it's the natural way.

We top and tail - that way there's much more room! Unless we've on a slope, in which case heads to the tailgate and ready to turn over .... one, two, three ...

Heads at tailgate...nice and toasty...good view in the morning, and anyway that's where the overhead spotlights are!
Also much easier to slither forward and land on that pile of clothes that you discarded on the floor in that drunken state the night before! :shock:
and...dog sleeps at front and much as we love our Staff his wind and bad breath are legendary so further away is better. :D

Yes, I suspected as much by the cut of your jib :roll:

We're head at tailgate peeps, cos it's difficult to reverse into bed when it's getting 'late' :lol:
