fits it with the seats out, but i prefer to use my full size air mattress on top of the seats just folded down. Its a beautiful thing.

Just wanted to clarify in case there might be any confusion, the seats come out but you have to unbolt them.They don't have any "quick" disconnect hardware. At least that's how mine is.

I wouldn't say flush or flat... but yeah thats the idea, they form an uncomfortable "bed." Adrock's has two benches which is a little better than mine that has the bench in the back and the two captains chairs... but they work on the same concept. However it is nicer to just yoink out the seats. And more head room that way also.

Get drunk, then start removing seats, pass out part way through, sleep like the dead.
No mattress required.

or, get drunk, fold seats down, unfold mattress, turn on rechargable coleman electric mattress pump, plug it, sleep in however much blanketry you can get your hands on....

results are improved when mattress inflated before consuming too much alcohol.

I know this goes against traditional Delica wisdom, but I've actually been quite comfortable sleeping on the stock seats (7 seater) when folded "flat", just came back from an event where I slept that way both last night and the night before... and apart from that annoying alarm clock going off in the morning it was a great sleep!

The trick is to fold them flat and then effectively "sit" in the captains chair facing backwards with your feet up on the rear bench seat, even though it's not flat, the hollows are in all the right places, even if you sleep on your side.
