Folding seat/bed for self build

[Kevin Gallagher]

hi any self builders. Im doing a XLWB sprinter for 5. I need road legal belted seat that folds to bed like the rib type or the cambee flex. Ive seen a few on www but they are a ridiculous price. Can anyone direct toward some other options that are not the cost of a small apartment?

Sadly they are a ridiculous price because they are certified and that cost is lumped in.

The only thing I can think of is to look at scrap cars that may have folding seats like you need - for instance the Zafira etc.

An alternate maybe to bolt in a regular minibus pair of seats and construct your bed around that - perhaps leaving the back up as a headrest and rolling out some bed slats for the rest.
