This campervan from Dreamer has an electric bed at the back which goes up to provide a huge amount of space below - ideal for carrying bicycles or indeed other items. This model is now being used also by Karmann Mobil, Chausson, Challenger and Adria as well, all based on the Fiat Ducato platform.
For more information, see the video!

I think that first one is absolutely the way to do a van conversion, at least it is for my requirements. I think a big advantage with having the bed go up and down like that is that you can raise it up to the maximum height and this gives you good access to the stuff under the bed. I would want to keep bicycles in the van and as they are about a metre high then it is reasonable to sleep in the bed above them. When it comes to getting them out you could raise the bed up so that you can get them out more easily. There are a few manufactures doing this with van conversions.

Bicycles lying flat with racing handle bars would take up very little height and be more stable when driving.

Loved the last one particularly. A bed in the roof on a van is pretty awesome. Love those shower/wardrobes too. I know they aren’t new but nonetheless they’re clever.

It doesn't matter how nice this van is, if you want one you're going to have to wait a long time and put in a lot of work to achieve it. I rang every single agent in Spain where I live and got no response from any of them. I have the funds available, but they are just not interested. A friend of mine also wants the D60 and, after being more patient than I am he actually got to speak to an agent who told him he would have to wait at least 12 months for delivery. I am now looking at other manufacturers.

He certainly won't get it in 12 months time unless something major happens. I would be surprised if he got before the summer after next.

When I say copy it, I mean specifically the rear garage section with elevating bed. There are many excellent van conversion companies that will happily design the interior to your design. My friends have done exactly this and the result is amazing, cost: 65k€ time: 6 months. In my naivety I was hoping to find a ready to go solution, which I thought I'd found in the D60. Apparently not

I wish the Canadian market was more like yours. Here the focus on travel trailers, so its hard to get a decent deal on a van conversion. Not to mention you never get to walk through a new model.

How about a 636cm van with a normal transverse bed and a bigger kitchen with more bench space and decent size half dinette. Every 636 van you show has the same sardine can size kitchen/dining area and whopping great longitudinal double bed with masses of wasted space. Something different please.

D60. It’s a good price even with the superfluous additions (engine upgrade etc), particularly for a couple who want the additional height in the garage during transit for an electric bike or a moped (weight issue?). Do they come in any other colour? Unlike D55 Select which is much nicer. Feels a bit economy in white van man and a shame there are no side windows in the rear. Ingenious separate shower and cupboard in D55 and keeps the water away from the rest of the bathroom

Hi ALAN. Strangely enough, these seemed quite reasonably priced and not outrageous. Is the truck a Fiat Ducato? Glad all is well. John

Just the same as this there is Karmann Mobil, Adria, Forster from Trigano, Burstner has something similar but not quite the same and there are probably others too.

I had a motorhome where the electric curtains broke, it could be cranked in manually. It was worse with the electric bed in front. If it did not work in the down position, there was no backup. And no chance to drive home.
