We travelled around Vic, SA and NSW for 8 weeks in this (with our 2 kids). 07 Highline 4Motion. It did a great job.

Thought some might be interested in seeing a removable bed base I built. The need was for something that could be set up and taken down quickly by one person so the van can be a van when it's not a camper. Pics were taken when some pieces were still to be attached. The 3 frames are treated pine, screwed and glued; the platform is two sheets of structural plywood.

Below:The mattress was a new old stock caravan mattress.

Below:Lower angle view. The piece of ply on the far left was screwed and glued to the outside of the frame by which it lies, similar to the other frames. These act as bracing.

Below:Mattress off.

Below:One part of the platform off. The platform pieces attach with mushroom headed bolts and wingnuts.

Below:Both platform pieces off.

Below:View from the rear. The cross piece of plywood acts as a lateral brace and is attached by mushroom headed bolts and wingnuts. The piece of ply on the floor was screwed and glued to the outside of the frame by which it lies.

Below:On its first camping trip.

Below: My better half discovers it's a comfy place to lie across and read during the day. The height of the platform was determined to suit stowing crates, plastic boxes and other camping gear under. The gap along the left side is useful for storing things overnight such as a drink bottle.

The whole thing comes apart into 6 pieces that store in the shed and the mattress that goes in the spare room. Cost was about $200 (mattress $50 from a local caravan place; wood, bolts, screws and glue from Bunnings) and it took an afternoon to make. It takes about 20 minutes to get out and assemble; the same to take down and put away.

I've already got some modifications in mind!
