Probably not strong enough for the bedboard + mattress + two humans hehehe
Looks great mate - did it come with the fixing/quick release bolts? Also if you do mind could you send me a link to where you purchased it from - I so need one of these also I presume if you flip the top over you can mount it either on the left or right hand side of the van.This arrived today, managed to pick it up from a German eBay shop. Looks like with a bit of cheeky modding I can get it to fit. Will report back.

Great work I just need to source one now! I messaged the company you got yours from but they said they don’t have any and will not ship to the UK - you did a great job getting yours. If you/or anyone have any ideas where to get one please let me knowWell I managed to flip the 6.1 bed extension.
Managed to keep everything. Thought I’d need to replace the bed board because of the off-centre pull cord. Turns out they could be flipped as well. It’s a piece of strong webbing the filters off into a T or Y split to 2 thinner pieces.
So basically everything is held in with wood insert nuts then the M5 bolts screw into those.
So I whipped them all out, drilled through the holes to the other side. Then placed the insert nuts back in and bolted everything back again.
The down sides are the holes on top and one side need sanding down so the handle has a bit of breathing room.

Has anyone on the forum priced up the parts list and are able to order/supply?Here’s the seller, it was a used part so not a stock item.

Didn’t come with the fixings, I still need to source those. 5 bolts and 2 plastic brackets.

It looks like the board can be flipped, but as the pull cord isn’t centred the indentation for it will be out. Also worth noting that the cut-out on the right is deeper as the Cali has trim it needs to clear. So a custom piece of wood designed to fit the shape of a T6 would be better.
They make a RHD version!? That's news worth celebratingCali bed gang - When I was looking at options for the bed extension I found this:
Bed Extension | Accessories | Shop | MAXXCAMP
www.maxxcamp.de
The smart thing is that it fits in the rails so easy fitting.
I enquired after a RHD version which they said they also made. I asked for some pics and further info on this but they weren’t able to provide any.
It’s expensive and shipping to UK would be 250-300 euros apparently.

I think you forgot to put the cost on the above? £??I’ve priced up the fixings and bolts and they’re under £
Yep. Get in touch. I couldn't get much info out of them when I tried. I'd want drawings and measurements before dropping 900 euros plus shipping. Looks sweet though, probably much lighter that the 6.1 extension.

Its great work, Im currently trying to find a bed extension for the Cali 2 seater bed. Out of interest did you manage to mount this in the van? Im wondering how the brackets will fit to the units and van as they are different lengths each side, and a conversion wont have the cali trim to fix to.Well I managed to flip the 6.1 bed extension.

They never did, so noOn another point I have been told you can buy a 2 seater Cali seat that sites on the LHS of the van (passenger side). If they sell a seat like this maybe the bed extension is available for our side as well. (As well as the plastic trim pieces.)
That's what I thought but I was told by a converter who says he supplies them. Puzzling.They never did, so no
