Over the years I've done a number of self builds for solo use, mostly on Ford Connect Hi-Top where there is ample headroom for most people.
For a variety of reasons I've recently acquired a Citroen Berlingo MPV which, although fairly high inside, is not as high as the Connect.
As with most on these conversions the height of the bed box is critical and is invariably dictated by the height of the cassette toilet where, even using a Thetford Qube, the headroom in a Berlingo is tight or even non-existent.
Whilst trying various potential layouts I discovered that the Thetford will sit nicely in the rear seat footwell allowing the height of the bedbase to be lowered somewhat resulting in increased headroom in the back.
With an extending section at the front end the bed box which passes comfortably over the top of the Thetford it can be easily retracted to give access when needed. Sorted.
