Thanks guys,

Took her out this weekend again. My Webber Baby Q fits under the front double bed, right next to the door. FYI bed is 1300mm wide :) so happy, all the talk I read about the 1100mm models was scaring me.

We have it in storage down the south coast so not handy outside at this point in time. Stayed at Easts beach Kiama, wasn't impressed, wont go back again.

cool @Swerve the bed is big.. Once I knew they made it bigger rang the local dealers all said floor stop was small, could order big now although said wait for 17" which we did... although still waiting :(
How much room is there for the Baby Q we brought a Q200 and hope it fits.
What did you put in the back boot? the opening is pretty small compared to room in there.
Enjoy mate.. wish we had ours now with school holidays started.

The baby Q just fits height wise and about 10-20mm spare from the bed slats, 3.7kg gas bottle also fits standing up, with maybe 5-10mm spare. Will need to fit a vent at floor level (under bed to hallway) so any gas would find its way to the van door.

At this stage I have put my hoses, leads in front right tunnel, camping chairs front left tunnel. rear left locker has a bucket, foam lounge for 2 year old, and misc stuff.

Will make a 3 ply wood insert for under front bed, so baby q and bottle just slot in so to speak. Thinking a card table sitting against the dinette back rest on hallway side strapped against the wall. Installed by spare 100 amp hour battery in the rear bunk storage, was all wired up, so 5 minute thing, but there is more storage their. I really have more storage then I need , main thing is working out how to best use it.

also
Was a raining miserable day and loved the van. Driving back to storage, 2 year old needed a nappy change and nap. We all had a 2 hour snooze and just comfy, nappy changes easy in pouring rain compared to backseat of a car.
Really can see the benefits :)

cool yes I like the way we can leave the beds setup before we leave, makes taking off Friday arvo easier.
Idea is get to park.. Eat put kids to bed ASAP and then we can sit outside and enjoy the serenity :)..
Which probably us telling kids get back in bed and stop talking every 5 mins like home.
Still like to cage the twins in the downstairs bunk like their cot, I measured the space at the caravan show want to make something :)
Wife thinks it look like a 60's zoo.
