Z-Bed hinges

[parapa]

Hello hello,
I'm a french guy and I've got a 78 Delux Bay and a big question?
My rear seat can have this position:

So I would like to know if it's a good idea to install Z-Bed hinges? (like
here: http://www.camperstuff.co.uk/Site/Home.html)

Do you think it's better to keep my actual system, to put a bed on, and to keep my money...?

With the z-bed hinges, is the bed confortable or not?

Thanks for your answers

With foam covered in westy material

That looks more like a play pen than a bed

Get a little older and you will start caring again.

Thanks for your quick answers!
SGKent: under your foam, you've got a z-bed system? and when your seats are in road position, where is your foam?

on this car left at home. On the 1971 I had like it, I made it with a fabric hinge and it folded over and sat behind the rear seat. Maybe twice in all the years I owned it the reat seat was up. Normally we never had more than 4 people in it.

Thanks for infos!
Perhaps I will keep my actual system and imagine a bed in 3parts which can be deploy when my rear seat is in bed position. Like the vw caddy tramper (look at 44s)

Finally, I buy a z-bed system from camperstuff!
I hope I can preserve my middle seat when my rear seat is in bed position?
I think I will put a foam in 3 parts (80cms, 80cms, 20cms) in order to put it in the luggage compartment when the rear seat is in road position!
What do you think about my solution?

hello
les z-hinges sont la meilleure solution dans un bus pour préserver les banquettes d'origine

mais normalement, dans un deluxe, tu es obligé de démonter la barre de protection des bagages du dossier, mais aussi les accoudoirs qui empêchent le basculement du dossier ...

effectivement, il faut aussi ajouter un matelas par dessus tout ça...

A+

met des photos de ta transformation....

En fait, j'ai annulé la vente car je ne savais pas que le lit ne fonctionnait pas quand la banquette centrale était présente!
Après mon deluxe n'a pas la retenue des bagages, ni d'accoudoirs!
