Front passenger seat conversion into bed

Postby poindexter » Sat May 06, 2023 11:43 am

Hey forum, just wondering if anyone has done or has any advice on what I am looking to do.

I would like to take the two front seats in my MK7 transit jumbo, remove them and replace them with two front seats that are road legal and can be folded back into a bed.

I have looked at rock n roll beds but struggling a bit tbh to get something that will fit the area.

I surely cannot be the first person who has wanted to do this? Any ideas or guidance much appreciated.

Cheers

Used to be popular with some of the professional conventions in the 70s but I’m guessing but I think they stopped because of the use and construction regulations for seatbelts came in .A mate of mine fitted swivels to his front seats and used that as part of his beds putting his feet on the seat to sleep.
