L Shape layout to Double Bed

Suggestions from other owners with L Shape lounges:

From an owner with a Volante 560EK.

So that we know the L is in the same position. As you enter the van the left side has 1 half of the L then carries on round under the front windows for the other half. With the TV corner cabinet on the right hand side of the van.

NB: As you're stood in the van looking out the front windows, I'm making the bed in a left to right manner

1) Discard the corner back support cushion which has 3 flats to it to go around the corner. There is also a triangular shaped filler that fills the void behind the corner cushion. Discard this void filler too. (I normally stow these under the bed, when it's made, along with the 2 arm bolster cushions if you have them).

2) Turn the base corner cushion over, also the base cushion along the side of the van. (After removing you bed linen from the bed box).

3) Pull out the slats, the base cushion from under the front window is now turned 90 degrees so it's running in the direction of the vans length not width.

4) Now lay the 2 back cushions in the same direction

5) This should leave a small space. The difference between the lengths of the back cushions. There is or should be a little filler for this void which should be right next to TV cabinet.

Hope this helps, and makes sense as I'm more of a spanner man than a pen man if you know what I mean

There are five cushions on ours (two large seats and three seat backs). The three seat backs combine into one row for the bed, the second row being one seat cushion and row three being the second seat cushion.

The corner (triangular shaped spacer cushion is not used). If you are looking at the bed from inside the van then the three rows run lengthways away from you.

Note the infill cushion at the top right of the picture

..and from the owner who raised the question.

I have sorted it thanks to your members help, but just in case you get asked the same question again this is how.

1. As from the one of your members there is an infill cushion measuring approx 14x6x6 hidden under the seat it is the same colour as the as the corner triangle infill and appears to have no apparent use.
2. Remove the window cushion from beneath the long window, this is secured by a large velcro strip and gives a feeling of unease when removed but it does come off.
3. Pull out the bed slats.
4. Now when you remove the two rear cushions to the L shaped seat the longer one now fits on the bed slats (because the window cushion is removed) with no overhang.
5. You can now place the shorter cushion alongside after which the hidden infill cushion(14x6x6) comes into play as this goes at the foot of the bed it does have to be tucked under the window blind casing this can be done either side as you can put the shorter back cushion down first and then the infill at the foot but again it needs to be tucked under the left hand window blind casing.
6. Corner three part cushion and corner infill are not used.

I would recommend the purchase of a 4’6 mattress topper laid on top of the cushions, as this could be stowed away easily.
