Hi, I am looking for some advice, when fitting a Westfalia caravelle full width bed the side pins need to be re-positioned about 4" further forward. Can the existing door cards be used for this or do the repositioned pins need different door cards? I was also wondering how difficult is it to reposition the pins? Do anyone have any before and after pictures
Many thanks
Peter

I made adaptors that bolt through the original door cards to the body and then the pins bolt to the adapters. They are solid as a rock.

I have a link of a swiss forum topic with pictures of multivan bed adaptors:

Thanks for the link those pictures are very useful. I will have a play and see what I can come up with. Something that could be removed so I can revert back to the caravelle seats might be useful
