I'm looking to buy a seven or 8 seater to sleep and camp with, I was originally thinking of removing the middle row and sleeping on the floor but seems a faf to remove and put back in. I have seen the 8 seater seats laid flat as a continuous bed(albeit lumpy) to then put a mattress on. I like your sheet separator idea with extraction for using the rear as a change room/toilet with extractor. Would love a picture please, I'll be taking a portable toilet also and keeping the third row up on the sides until it's bed time as mentioned above, hopefully finding place for all the stuff under and behind the seats. Attached a pic from another post of the bed layout.

Thanks for the advice (apologies for the tardy response/update) ODB scan simply said weak mixture on Bank 1. After a little help from a friendly AI bot I tried cleaning the mass air flow sensor and ran a tank full of injector cleaner through it - problem solved!! Most likely a spec of dirt or something in one of the injectors I think. All now seems well and the pterol consumption has returned to normal too :-)

Hi Jess – We fitted a towbar and have the Strada Evo 3 bike rack, which keeps the bikes low and gives you vision through the rear view mirror. The roller pull-out system gives sufficient clearance when the Alphard tailgate is lifted, because it dips towards the ground as it pulls out, and can used to gain access to the rear of the Alphard with bikes still on it. We've used it for a several years now and it's served us well on both short and long European journeys. I believe the Strada Evo, Vario and DL racks use the same pull-out system. Of course you’ll need to fit a towbar, so it’s a more expensive option – but it may be worth considering if you journey regularly with bikes…

Hello there! Have you checked your brake fluid level? The warning light doubles up for that. Cheers, Nev
