If you make up the two front seats where do you put the seat backs . I usually put mine on the foot against the seats .

I really dont know how anyone sleeps on the single bench seats. No matter how comfy they may be, they are just so restrictive, and im not the biggest bloke either. I like a bit of room to move in bed, and sleeping 'mummy style' just wouldnt cut it.

Well, I'm generally regarded as a 'big bloke', just shy of 6ft (1.82m) these days and broad shouldered at around 48in (122cm) chest, and AFAIK my bench seat/beds are not exceptionally large at 6ft 1in x 2ft 3in (1.862 x 0.67m), which makes them around 9in (23cm) narrower than a standard single bed, and I'm not a 'mummy sleeper' by any means, in fact really can't sleep on my back, and well know as (accused of being!!!) a 'sprawler' (bed hog!), but have no difficulty sleeping comfortably on the benches, in fact often wake to find the dog (Border Collie) has snook up onto the bed and found space to snuggle up to me and sleep soundly too! Don't seem to bang into the wall, or find myself slipping off side of the bed (even with the dog hogging space!), so regard the space as perfectly adequate, rather born out by the good nights sleep I always seem to get.

Well it beats me how you can 'sprawl' in a 2' 3" bed. Your back must be close to 20" wide at the top with a 48" chest. And throw in the dog as well! That gives the pair of you around 7-8" to move around. I'd be on the floor.

Well, i was going to suggest about 24" across the shoulders, but when i pulled the tape out i have on the side here, i thought 'surely not' - almost sounds offensive, so opted for the 20". Yes, it is as well you are enveloped in a bag. Ive seen a good few blokes (and a few women) only entering sideways, so you arent alone.

Glad to hear of someone consciously choosing, and actually using, their bloody shower. Getting to be a rarity!
