Hi did you go for this in the end?
Not yet, van is in for lining etc next week. Probably won’t be adding a bed until later in the year
I’ve got two rows of seats in the back of the van which fold down.
Has anyone put a bed across both seats i.e. just a small platform, 600mm (ish) deep, in the very back of the van, with the mattress resting on the backs of the two rows of seats?

Just got this also... the tracking option is a nice feature.Just had a Webasto heater fitted with the app connect for my phone.
Early days but seems to work a treat.
Tracking feature?
I don’t have that.
ahh, ok thought the app-connect was the thing for it. see, My ThermoConnect
I use the ThermoCall app. Does everything yours does except the tracking but it’s free to use.
I am in the process of building a bed for our Kombi. I have built a basic open box for the boot out of 18mm birch ply. I am now in the process of making filler panels for the sides (to go over the wheel arches), and after that the fold out bed base.
Been trying to find a good solution for a mattress. Previously we used "Cushion Creator", in our Caddy Maxi Life, and they produced a fantastic quality bespoke product, but the larger size of the T6 is too expensive. After a bit of searching we found these Thermarest mattresses which can join together and fit perfectly. They aren't cheap but are cheaper than our other preferred option and they are relatively compact to store.

Are these the Thermarest Dreamtime mattresses?
I have made the bed base shown from 12mm birch ply, but plan is to laminate more ply to the underside in full width strips to build up the strength. The box is 122cm wide so 12mm ply is not strong enough on its own and is too flexible. Its a balance of making it strong enough whilst trying to keep the weight to a minimum. Lots of cutting and gluing.....
could you fit a vertical beam underneath albeit will reduce storage height?
You could notch the side pieces and drop a cross beam in. Even make it from ply like some of the bought set ups.
I was thinking of a vertical support for mine and having two pull out trays but it limits options for putting stuff under there.
Maybe you could bolt some ally extrusion to the bottom of the bed? Will only come down about 50mm, nice and light, 3 off them across it would be more than enough?
