How's the headroom when you're using the single bed to sit on?
Oh, I forgot top add, what's the bracket you're using for the bike?
This is the wall clamp, looks like they've changed the design a bit since I bought mine. It's not the most sturdy of items, but it's more than adequate for the job...http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 85&alt=web
When the foam isn't on the bed headroom is fine, but I have to slouch when it's on. Bit of a trade off between having more storage space underneath.

Cheers everyone. Yeah it's more than comfortable for two. With the black out screens and memory foam topper we get a better night's sleep than at home! I have to slide the front seat forward on my side so that my feet aren't squashed but it's no big deal.
Moved my leisure battery/electrics from the passenger footwell to driver's side today to prepare for diesel heater install in the next few weeks. It was a pig of a job, so I treated myself by making this shelf which I'm quite happy with!
Beaut little conversion man! Would love those bed plans if you're happy to send them over. Currently planning my conversion and all the inspiration is great. Did a transit Luton van last year and the caddy certainly poses a challenge when it comes to effective use of space!

Cheers! Yeah no problem I'll pm you the link to the plans when I'm at a pc tomorrow.
Been a busy few weeks. Bought and fitted an RNS315, what a massive difference to my old cheap head unit! Bought a roll of rubber coin matting and put it over the old flooring, it's nice that everything doesn't slide around in the back any more.
And finally my wife can breathe a sigh of relief as I've got a diesel heater installed behind the passenger seat - I'll finally stop whittering on about buying one! Got the 7 day timer so that I can program it to come on half an hour before I leave for work. Luxury! The only problem with it (Eberspacher D2) is that it's very, very loud. I've ordered a Webasto air intake silencer and the standard exhaust silencer to hopefully not wake the neighbours up at 530AM!
i have a webasto on the wifes freelander they sound like a jet engine but they are a great bit of kit. you can get a tele start kit for these but not to sure about eberspacher. if you look on the land rover forums lots of threads on FBH and lots of ways to get them working
