Smartbed On Rails V Cali Bed With Bikes?

[BJC_9]

Hi there I'm trying to decide between getting a cali bed with rails and a smartbed r on lwb rails my van is a swb.

I have seen photos of bikes behind a cali bed (with front wheel removed) but has anyone been able to fit a bike behind a smartbed?

Cheers alot,

Barry.

Yes. However my van is LWB. But my rails are reduced in length from standard LWB rails due my mid seat brackets still being in play.

Nice one thanks for the reply

So it looks like you've unbolted the rear part of the bed where the small cushion sits and have you bolted a quick release clamp to the bed frame?

Yes @BJC_9 . The base part of the buddy seat at the back lifts out. Bare in mind my upholstery is custom made and not supplied by Smartbeds though. But my forks fit down between the frame of the bed. This thread shows where my rails stop at the front.
