Luckily (for the first time ever) im onlt 5'3'' so thats a 3/4 mat and i dont have to move the drivers seat. Win!
Ive still got to get a better bit of board for on that box at the end but when i move them bags out it wil be a tidy and compact solution for the odd night.
Cor! It's a bit nippy at night for camping! Hope you take plenty of bedding - I always reckoned that in cold weather you need plenty underneath you as well as on top. And a woolly hat. Oh, and a good size empty plastic bottle can come in handy for errrrr - emergencies!
Good luck!

At 5'3" you'd be better off curled up on the back seat! I couldn't get my arse on that board!
