East Neuk Fifer Lounge conversion

[Krazykate]

Looking to change the current lounge convertion of our Renault Relay to the newer much easier style. Slotting in batons, unclipping and flipping is doing my back in already!
Does anyone have photos or even better, videos how it works.
The conversion company are very busy and haven't sent details requested. We are 3 and a half hours away, it's very pricey and we're beginning to wonder whether we can get it down closer to home. Thanks in advance folks.

That must be the old design, my 2020 Fifer M has 2 x slatted bases which just pull out to make a double in seconds.

Yes my van is a '12 plate.
Are you in a position to take a couple of photos or even a video? It would be so much appreciated!

I can’t believe what a ridiculous design it is in the first place! No wonder you want to change it! Ours is a warwick duo & has thin metal legs on each end of the slide out bits. You could use the wood you have & just put supports on each corner?

They would need some support in the centre where they meet in the same positions where there are support 'bars' as the bed planks themselves won't have sufficient support on their own.

Sorry, I'm away at the moment, be back on the 11th if you can wait until then.
