Really dumb question but is there enough room to actually sleep in the back?

I've seen it done with the passenger seat removed :lol: if you got a long wheel base you could probably just about sleep in the back with the seats forwards :thumbup: they are a bit harder to find though http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Monster-Truck ... 6749406%26

i reckon i could sleep in my 410 quite well, ive got the origional half front seats that fold back easily and lay over the rear bench seat to make a fair size double bed. i reckon with enough pillows i could make it quite comfortable!

Already been said, but.....

If you take back seats out and pack well i reckon on plenty of room for camping for two and basic tools and spares.

If you do go down that route a good cargo net to cover it and decent tie down points to secure it to. Nothing worse than rolling it side ways down a hill and something loose goes flying.

Anything more than tarmac and i secure everything in my Zuk. The slightest pot hole or bump and everything is everywhere.

Learnt that the hard way.

I have a wooden tray with a strong bulkhead in the back of my tin top. 4 eye bolts thru the floor with 3mm x 40mm square washers to stop them pulling through and 1t ratchet straps to hold everything in place.
