head in the tail... its the only way.
you can look out of the front screen at the world if you want rather than the rear.
plump the pillows on the tailgate and use it as a headboard.

Just an aside, in the past (even in our tent !) and to be used in our van, we have an inverter with a lesuire battery to power an electric blanket :) :)

They don'y use much juice and so don't hammer the battery :)

can't really add much to this - feet to the front. My pillows fall of if other way round. Plus I installed a reading light in the bas of the overhead locker - reminds me, I need to put some padding on that locker :roll:

Head to tailgate for us, got a little light overhead at that end for late night reading, plus then wake up in the morning head under curtain to see what the weather is like :D

head to rear, feet to front - 2 single beds made up from front swivel seats and rear split bench seat. Can swing legs out into middle. Try and bags the one nearest sliding door as it is wider!

If your banging your head on the overhead cupboards and it hurts, you're obviousley not drinking enough.

head to back feet to front.
Done it happily in a t2 on surf /winsurf trips - minimum movement to check for waves/wind - if nothing stay put.
If there are wind and waves its academic - two people in a mad scamble to don neoprene - bound to end in trouble.
