Re: Autosleeper thread
Hi,
Got them done at Bromsgrove Auto Trimmers http://www.bromsgroveautotrim.com/70160 ... p=12&pno=0, who I have to say were the nicest people I think I've ever done business with, although maybe I'm just used to London rudeness!
They were £400 last year.
Colour wise you could have anything - it was slightly bewildering!
Cheers,
Alex

Not sure that the fact it's an Auto-Sleeper makes any difference. I would look under the rear seat & inside the spare wheel.

Re: Autosleeper thread
In the high top model it's usualy kept in a little compartment under the wardrobe, accessible when the tailgate is opened. You should have the brace there too.

Re: Autosleeper thread
Nope, not on mine either, the back of the wardrobe facing the tailgate is a solid panel.
So is the standard "van" place inside the spare wheel then? Don't have a user manual with the van so can't look in there

Yeah, Perhaps they used to store it in the bottom of the wardrobe which became a pain to get to so they raised up the wardrobe floor and cut an access hole. Clever.

Re: Autosleeper thread
Well yes. There is already a small gap at the bottom of my wardrobe but it doesn't have a 'false floor' above it so if I need to get at the jack at the bottom I have to empty out the camping chairs, fan heater, tools etc before I can get to it, so a false floor above leaving it free to slide out the gap might be spot on.
On the other hand I'd be making work for myself and lets face it, how often do you get a puncture?
