Bed

[Frankie]

Hi,I'm new here.I was just about to get a Transit Hi-Cube but it sold,Also looking at other transits.
One thing I want to know is will I get a bed across it or will it have to be along the length of the van,are all transits the same width?

[MrMPuk]

I sleep across the back of my 1998 van and I'm 6 foot.

Welcome to the forum Frankie. It depends how tall you are. If you are over 6ft you will never stretch out with the bad along the back of the van.

[Frankie]

Would a fit a mattress from a double across it?

[MrMPuk]

Not quite. But you never know different ages of vans are different sizes.

[Frankie]

Ok well I'm just under 6' tall so either way its good to know I can sleep across the van.Now I know I wont hit my head on a high top but what about a semi high top? I want to be able to walk without ducking my head.

Are we still talking smiley(95-00)? If so then no.

i'm under 6 foot and i cant sleep across my van unless i bend my legs

van is 1.8m i think - from memory (ordering the carpet) dunno what that is in foot

I think I'm just under 6ft and in my mk6 semi high you can stand upright, maybe just tilt your heard slightly and watch out for the cross members

Well I can stretch out with my feet flat on the side and my head is just touching.

Ok well I think I'm looking at getting a mk5,with a bit of luck the hi-cube model if I can find one for the right price.The one I saw was up for £1200

[MrMPuk]

There's always a LWB Hi-Top if you can find a Hi-Cube!

[Frankie]

Well I'll search on,will get something this weekend with a bit of luck.
