Single bed

Ok I know I'm no artist.

I'm looking for a Bongo I can convert to my needs and am wondering if it's possible to or if someone makes and fits single beds similar to my diagram. The brown bit being fitted the door side and the red bit somehow being pulled out at night to make it longer. With the day bit being like a box so to store things in. Well I know what I mean, just hope someone else does

I am sure a kitchen fitter would make you one? assuming you don't do DIY?
Just look around for some old wood and have a go, once you get it right make the final version

Hi Tigs,sorry if im a bit thick,but looking at your diagram,im afraid i cant fathom out exactly what you require.
However,Daveblueozzie,Dabs and Bigdaddycain all have self built conversions which incorporate a not too hard to make single bed.
PM them for some photos and you wont go far wrong if you copy their design,they are excellent

I have something similar from 321Away in Woking. Its a box that fits on the seat runners and folds out to make a bed. I have a rear conversion from them and to fit it one rear seat has been removed and the other reversed. The box acts as storage and the lid unfolds to either make a double bed with the reversed seat and the front seat flat or with the reversed seat upright, it fits between the conversion and the seat, giving a shortish but comfortable single bed. This option also gives floor space for baggage. The loo fits neatly between the box and seat for travelling.

Sorry Brian, I knew it wasn't clear, but couldn't quite work out to explain it. Will message them and thank you

But they will improve e if you can have a go.
You have made a start with a drawing so the concept id in your head.

Thanks for those Dave

Can you tell me if they would work with a full side conversion, allowing all the lower doors to open when bed is out please? Although looking at Dabs, it looks as though a side conversion could be split into 2 and used on both sides towards the back. That might well work for me.
