This looks promising for anyone looking for an off-the-shelf multiflex board at the correct height for the 2 seater cali bed. SWB/LWB. @Skyliner33

Seen it. Its too tall into as the board itself is the same height as the top of the seat. Needs to be lower so you can put a mattress bit on the board.
Hi Jon, on the Cali ocean it is a frame which is the same height as the bed when lay flat, the topper then sits across the frame and the seat
Now I understand why so you want about 5cm’ish lower
Definitely a bespoke item.I have 2 multi flex board legs if you want to reduce to size

Could you tell me how thick the pad for the multiflex board is please. I have a board, but no pad…Thanks for the offer @JOG. I will do but its more the twin seat bed I will need.
I don’t have aboard or a pad sorry.

Sorry, that was meant for @JOG
I'm now starting this task and researching options. Here a custom frame maker, I need the T-shaped bolts to tighten these in the rail.

Starting to build the multiflex board and I've decided to mimic some van furniture designs so that it can be hinged behind the seat within its width when not in use and extended full width as a bed for our youngest. We don't have furniture and not about to as we put our awning and/or bikes through the length of the back of the van (we cook on a pod in the awning or bbq with friends outside)
Couple more pictures as we repacked
You can tell I didn't get the alignment of the right leg onto the lower wood batten as the right hand doesn't match when closed, but functionally perfect for our camping this weekend. The third leg has a magnet catch so that it stays in place when not in use (swings up under the right hand extension). There is clearance for a low really useful box under the "parcel shelf" and the pads are 9cm, if I recall correctly.
