The side pods for the back of the van, I will take a photo once I get it in the back tonight.

I have been busy working away on the interior of the Darkside Garage Inc. Millennium Falcon Longreach. Still heaps to do.

The yellow seat was in the milennium falcon in the Han Solo movie. I think Lando Calrizian had the Falcon at that time from memory.

I use a futon in mine, which is light enough to wedge itself around the wheel arches, and plenty of space for storage (Esky, toolboxes, etc) furter along. I have plenty of insulating rubber between the tray and the futon (I had that custom-cut by Clark's Rubber for my old XF panelvan years ago), so when I lie on it I don't feel the tray underneath me. It's comfy enough for me for a decent kip.

considering the foam was dear when i went to a foam mattress joint(and cover was a pain to make) and you can't sleep on the wheel arches anyway. ..
 
i'd get a single mattress(maybe king sinlgle if it fits length ways?) and maybe stuff cushions or blankets or doover whatsits in the gaps on the side.. 
 
i was doing this for My econovan, but because i had enough height, i spaced up the mattress by building a frame to the wheel arch height.  
one of My mates was considering measuring the wheel in the arch height and cutting the arches down and plating them flat and building a similar false floor over the arches for the van. not sure you'd gain much.(My econovan also measures wider above the arches than below, so it fits a queen size in rather than a cut down middle of a double.. )
