I've slept in mine a few times when I've booked a very early ferry. Inflatable bed - nice and cozy. Diagonally there's enough room for me without removing the seats and modifying - but then I don't need 215cm. |

i hope that the Range has enough floor venting, as your car will 'fill up' with carbon dioxide, and eventually it will 'pour out' the top vent as you sleep -to death.. I would suggest another vent in the spare wheel well, that is removable, like a few giant grommets Thus allowing foul air to 'pour out' and refill from the top vent.

sorry I meant to say carbon dioxide out numbering your oxygen particles,(after time) ie you're using up oxygen and the CO is trapped in a 'bucket' ie the car is watertight. only vent is a vent at top. believe me, if you were sleeping sitting up it would be no problem, as vent is at head height. please research this. the curry bit was a jokey reference. read up on working in confined spaces. Caravans have low vents, as people sometimes even sleep on floor, speak to a caravan expert. (not a salesman) whilst caravanning a couple of years back, in Norfolk, even some people in a tent were overcome, as their gas barbeque was alight, and carbon monoxide filled the tent, from outside! we had about 3 ambulances, and fire brigade out at 2am in a field! that's monoxide, different stuff, even more deadly, you will have that too in lesser quantities. breathed out air is useless, (to man.) and it's heavier than oxygen, so it will fill up the car. vent at top is acting as an overflow! speak to a caravan expert, or a gas safe engineer. they will tell you that houses even have to have low venting.

Nice one. I slept in the back of my Disco 3 with the sun roof cracked open and ha d a good nights sleep every time. I have a van from work (LWB VW Transporter kombi) and can sleep in the back of that on a double mattress with ease. I have something called an air safe which allows the tailgate to be open slightly, but means you can lock the vehicle and no one can get in from the outside and you get a breeze too!

I suspect its because the site owner is aware of the potential CO2 issues and doesn't want to have a corporate manslaughter charged laid against him if you popped your clogs while you were sleeping in the back of the car. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

As mentioned above, Cars are pretty much sealed up these days so carbon monoxide would be a real threat if say a small family slept in there!
