Did you buy the kit they do?
Yes I have fitted, there's some photos in my build thread. There were no major issues and it works well. Once you have the bed fitted, due to the weight it's a push to move it. So if you want the flexibility but don't plan to move it every day it's definitely worth it.
Hi, I've had a removable extra seat fitted on Unwin rails by Vanbodies.co.uk in Morecambe. It was a decade ago, but they're still there.

Evening all,
I'm wanting to fit unwin rails to my floor, then fit my roll and roll bed to them with quick release attachments, so I am able to move it backwards and forwards to where I want.
Can I fit them ontop of the carpet, or is it best to pull up the carpet, the ply floor, and fit them direct the van floor, then cut the ply I took out and fit it around the rails?
Thx in advance.

Usually you have a slot in the floor, and the rails sit through the slot direct onto the van floor. There are flanges on the top of the rails that are then on top of the ply surface.
They usually get drilled through floor then use little spreader plates & nuts to secure.
For tidy 'flush' install you usually get slots cut in the ply floor.
But you can also get surface mounted but they would stick up about 3cm so might be annoying.
I'm just fixing some to my van but on the side walls & ceiling so I can easily hang my paddle board etc.

Thanks guys, I think I'll fit them directly to the floor.

Hi steve, I will be fitting a rock and roll bed too them so I can slide it forward when grandkids are in and right to the back when I need to get my go kart in through back doors.
Should be as unwin is used for movable seating on coaches, mini buses & wav disbility vehicles.
Some of the most expensive sliding seat systems now by remo are bonded using no screws! But only fitted by select installers. They must use chemical adhesives?
