multivan bed in a doka

[t25adict]

I seem to remember someone fitting a multivan bed into the back of a doka in the past.

I think it was a squeeze but possible, any info + pictures would be great.

It was Neil's (axeman) syncro doka.

and Pete PC52 did it, there will be threads in the Syncro forum about it but it was like 10 years ago

Jed at CVC made a video about it (is it the same doka that was sold around, or it is a different one?):

cool.. thank you.

I wanted to get a better idea of how it would fit. looks like it sort of works but leg room is reduced when its in the seat position.

I was helpful to be able to show my wife a video...

having looked a bit more into it, I think we are going to try to go down the route of having a front double seat folding flat to meat the rear seat.

Its a horrible compromise just to have a bad nights sleep* and probably unsafe too, as the twin front seat has to be fully supported by a partial bulkhead.
You'd be better off with a rooftent on the load bed.

*It may be possible to sleep two people transversely in a doka if they are not much over 5' tall.

yes I am aware the rear upright section needs a proper support. The doka its for currently has the divider section in currently.
I still have a very well made bolt in support section that came from a caravelle that I had. for my other half + boy they are short enough. to sleep across the rear. not an option for me though.

I would much rather have two front seats as well (recaro's !! that I already have and like a lot.)  I have another option that we are going to look at.

roof tent is not an option on the roof as we have a height restriction to deal with. And our roof box is going on the load bed cover.

Much later down the line the plan is for a demountable.
