The available solutions for sleeping when traveling with multiple people (3+ people) in a converted van?

Summary

A family van with 3 beds for two adults and one child

First, the first solution available is to sleep in the same bed using a Combeing kit.
If you are a family of 3 in a converted van, then all medium-sized utility vehicles will work (Renault Trafic, Fiat Talento, Opel Vivaro, Nissan NV300, Mercedes Vito, Volkswagen Transporter, Ford Custom, Citroën Jumpy, Fiat Scudo, Peugeot Expert, Toyota ProAce, Toyota Hiace, etc…), the larger vans (Fiat Ducato, Citroën Jumper, Man TGE, Mercedes Sprinter...) are also very suitable. Beds range from 131 cm, 158 cm, and in larger vans 184 cm in width and 184 cm in length, providing comfortable space and sufficient storage space to sleep 3 in a van conversion.

Here is the same plan, now with the "maxi bed" option (adding 26cm of mattress in length) available on our website. If you have a child, this is what the bedding would look like:

For families with 2 children, here’s an example of the bedding you could have:

In the same type of van, here are the steps to switch from "day mode" to "night mode" simply by moving one module, also with the "maxi bed" option which adds 26cm of length to the bedding (the middle bed is a child’s bed):

2 sleeping places available with the table in between the 2 beds

2 sleeping places available, a module and table have been lowered

This time there are 3 sleeping places available in the converted van for a family.

Here’s a solution with 3 sleeping places but with 2 bikes added, pressed against the partition:

3 sleeping places, a bike and a large storage space with a Combeing conversion

In other larger vehicles such as the Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, and Citroën Jumper L2, the vehicle width allows you to sleep on 184 cm and have a permanent bed.

As shown in the next image, you can sleep 2 on one bed, leave space, and make your child sleep against the partition:

You can even lower some modules and make 2 double beds, thus sleeping with family of 2, 3 or 4 people in the converted van:

If your vehicle is not compatible with the compositions above (or if you want additional places with the kit), you can consider other solutions...

Selection of available solutions when you want a 4-bed converted van

In which model can we sleep 4 people without changing the vehicle registration? There are quite a few options. By combining the proposed solutions, it’s easy to sleep 4. You can design a conversion in the following types of vehicles:

Convert a long version utility vehicle with an extended cabin with 2-person sleeping space in the back (using the Combeing conversion kit) and one of the sleeping solutions below.

Pop-top roof

Thanks to this pop-top roof solution, you can add one or two more people to sleep, this roof also allows you to stand up inside the van, expand the living space, and add additional sleeping areas (as mentioned earlier). The downside is that every time you hit the road, there’s a little disassembly time for the roof, which isn't needed with the next solution.
