Re: Which way round is best.
there isn't a right way.
the best way is what your comfy with
try both and see which is best

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...

Has to be head at the tail gate, cos then my feet can hang off the edge, far more preferablethan my head...!

Head to the tailgate.
You try getting out for an emergency pee with your legs towards 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 ...

Re: Which way round is best.
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!
and...dog sleeps at front and much as we love our Staff his wind and bad breath are legendary so further away is better.

Yes, I suspected as much by the cut of your jib
We're head at tailgate peeps, cos it's difficult to reverse into bed when it's getting 'late'

Re: Which way round is best.
Wasn't going to comment but as we are the only ones.....that always sleep with feet to the tailgate....tried it the other way and couldn't get on with continuosly banging our heads on the overhead cupboard!
