Multivan bed length?

Hi Sam - will hopefully have a chance to measure 'x' tomorrow afternoon for you. Of course 'standard driving position' in terms of fore/after adjustment can vary depending on the driver's height etc. Cheers Mark.

When we stop for the night we push the drivers seat forward and swivel the passenger seat which makes the area much larger. The swivels are easy to fit an not very expensive considering the extra room you get. Not only do they give you somewhere to sit but also to get changed without trying to stand and crouch at the same time.

Thanks for that photo. Just to try and confirm my plans, can you see my edited photo attached? If you have the drivers seat in its standard driving position, then imagine a vertical line coming down from the top of the drivers seat, can anyone give me a more accurate x and y as per photo? Also if the rear seat is then put back to seat mode with a vanessa kitchen in back, what does x become? Thanks so much everyone. Waiting for the right multivan to come up for sale now...

Hi Sam

Did some measuring today on the demo in Sydney

Firstly it is important to know where the seat is positioned. I am 178cm and had the seat in a position comfortable for me and a backrest angle comfortable for me. The distance of the seat as measured from light switch housing to plastic pivot cover at bottom of rear of driver's seat was 705mm





Next is to establish position of rear Kitchen. It is 100mm from the leading edge of kitchen to the rear tailgate



The rear seat when set to flat bed mode is positioned beforehand such that there is 1-2mm gap between the integrated seat belt housing and the rear of the kitchen

From these parameters the distance between the back of the front seat and the flat bed is 565mm as measured from where the rear seat pocket opens to the leading edge of the seat.



Unfortunately I had no helper to take the photos and ran out of time to measure when the seat is back upright. This distance will vary depending upon whether anything is stored behind the seat potential preventing further rearward travel using lever or strap #1

Hope this helps

Hi David, I ended up removing my multifunction table from the rails and adapted "rubber feets" so I can also use outside the car, but did notice that within the rail system it was actually getting tight to pull large rear seats flat. It is working good, but don't really find a location to carry when travelling. If stored behind the front seat it actually becomes annoying when trying to swivel them around. Haven't found the perfect setup yet.

"x" is approx 400mm with the seat in the normal position. If the seat is push forward an the seat back screwed forward a bit you will get another 250mm.
