Re: Fitting a bed in a Doka... the story begins
i had a bed in my doka, went about it in a slightly different way, my doka had a bench seat, i made it fold flat onto the rear seat 3/4 width, but full length, brilliant! nice work tho jed!
such is life
he who dies with the most toys wins.
when im at those pearly gates i want to tick ALL the boxes!
you laugh at me because i'm different, i laugh at you because you're all the same!

Looks good Jed - it looks like it'll be worktruck, office and bedroom all in one (and living room once the swivels are in!) You won't need a house anymore!
Now rusting away even quicker by the seaside

Now that you got a bed, why not take a bit of your flatbed space and add a cooker/sink in the back like the teardrop campers do:

now....66 T1 LHD 1.6 Bus
* If you need it to arrive safe & in one piece..*

Re: Fitting a bed in a Doka... the story begins
Not bad....
But I was thinking something like this, that removable...
http://www.mytoolstore.com/highway/pickupbx.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
And inside a small double hob, a small sink (will need a hole through your flatbed) with water tank and a top-loading 12v fridge.
That would be the mutts nutts...
Man, all this is making me think of buying my own Doppel Kabine !!

Great idea those things but to be honest a syncro is much higher than a 2wd van and to stand next to it on the load bed you wouldnt even be able to see inside the unit. I have just bought this too for warmer evenings and we can have a shower also

Just make sure you've emptied your bladder before turning in - or I suppose could just aim a well directed jet whilst standing at the tent door!
