Cali conversions - what did you use for a 'multiflex board' to make the seat into a bed? And toppers

Thanks I've tried Exploria, they are not interested in anything except full conversions now. I do like your setup though. I might try to find somewhere else that will do something like that.
Thanks. Did you find that today? I can’t remember those turning up in my searches. Wonder if they would install my rails and sell me a ply floor. I need to phone them tomorrow.
Hi Jon
I routered a multi flex board I work and bought the rail brackets from forum member but a readily available on eBay
I will ask my CNC programmer to see if you can find a drawing or I can get him to do a Caravelle board and then you cut it to the required with. The one he did for my Caravelle was a good fit. It was about and inch from the side and tailgate, leaving enough room to carpet but not loose your pillows ha ha
Thanks, I’m not sure where I would find a drawing, will have a search. I don’t think a velle board cut down would work against the Cali seat.
Mine is slightly different than the one in @Shaun Witts pictures, but i think the profile is very similar.
I used to have. T6 cali, how does yours differ the the standard cali seat. As I remember all the plastic trims are all the same so it would only be a matter of trimming widths and possibly depth and they would only be straight cut
Here's the info I've gathered on Cali bed conversions focussing on the rear bed extension. Some of this I have posted before, some from other users. The aim is to have everything in one logical place. I will add to this post as/when I remember:

This post is a bit of a random image-dump so any questions please ask.

Mattress & Comfort
The 6.1 bed extension board sits below the level of the bed, so a thin mattress (5-7?) is used to bring it level with the seat. Or a topper with a thicker section for the extension.
In this thread, Motor Psycho (which is a great username) has made a bracket to raise the extension to bring it level with the seat, gaining storage space but sacrificing 7cm of comfort.

Seen it. Its too tall into as the board itself is the same height as the top of the seat. Needs to be lower so you can put a mattress bit on the board.
Hi Jon, on the Cali ocean it is a frame which is the same height as the bed when lay flat, the topper then sits across the frame and the seat
