A camper's nothing of course without a bed, so I did a bit of Googling, then a bit of scribbling on the back of a napkin and came up with the ideal bed (for me). I wanted something that could be easily removed from the vehicle, sleep two people comfortably, didn't take up any unnecessary space, didn't damage the interior of the vehicle (so no mods or sharp/rough bits), and didn't require me to remove the rear seats. And provide some storage space (by way of drawers). The bed size is an exact (South African) 3/4 bed size (188x107 cm) so no special sheets or cramped sleeping!
An unforeseen benefit is that the bed can fold out into a bench if the seats are left up. Perfect for sitting and watching the sun set... I got all of the (plywood) boards cut to size by a building supply store, so all I had to do was screw/glue them together, stain and carpet.
I've posted some pics here so you can get an idea. Will post the measurements if anyone's interested in making one themselves.
I'll post some follow-ups in this thread with some other aspects of the (camper) build.
