We have a 1997 model and the rear beds appear to be a double with a bunk over the top.  On eBay recenly there have been identical models but the bottom bed appears to be able to be made into a double or a single.  We have fiddled about and cannot get ours to convert to a single, anyone know if this is possible or if some models differ.

thanks

i have a 1998 Elddis Crown Crest with a double bed configuration at the back.   Take all of the seating off, and you should be left woth the exposed slats.  I am sure that they simply slide bak into the seat facing the back wall.  Check that the push studs are freed.  My only other suggestion is that the previous owners may have secured it so it stays as a double.  Although easily fixed I am sure.  Do you not have the original Crown brochure?  if not  will have a look at mine to see if t shows the bed configuration.

Hiya, ok if you stand facing the back of the van and kneel down you can pull the left hand side of the back seat base slats forward to joint up with the single seat and then just shufty the cushions around so that they fit.

Does that make sense?  We use both of our double beds as neither is a double, the front is I think 4' 1" and the back one just 3' 9" and as we have a 6 foot bed at home we can't sleep together on either!

Thanks I will have another look when we get it from storage next

thanks once again for all of the help

Hi,

I used to have a 97 Crown Regent.  The bed configuration was 2 doubles and a bunk, there was no option to make the rear bed into a single.  Would have been good if it had done though as it would have mafe it a bit easier to get into the wet-room!!

You've got me thinking now as it was OH who said you could pull just one side of the back seat struts out but now I am not so sure!  We will be back down at the van in the next couple of weeks I am sure so I will report back.
