folding seats that don,t fold flat!

[alistair1780]

Hi new to this so please bear with me! Recently purchased a 1985 caravelle GL (7 seater) in the instruction manual it shows seats folding down to form bed. The seats in manual seem to have a central release grip mine has not! so assuming manual showing a different model. The seats are in great condition and have no wish to change but would really like the option of a sleeping area so my questions are......

A. can my seats be converted to fold flat with different mechanism if so any one done it ?
B. Where could I purchase such a thing?

Thanks Alistair

Welcome,
Lets have some pics of your Van...We like pics

I have a 1990 Caravelle GL and my seats dont fold flat.
I think Just Kampers do a wooden frame that fits in the boot area, gives storage and brings the boot up to seat level.
Easy job then to add some foam to make a bed.

the standard caravelle rear seat with arm rests just the back folds forward like many car estates

optionally there is a bed , looks the same , but without arm rests, this pulls out so its all one level for a bed!
