I was just wondering if anyone has done, seen or heard about converting a forester to a sleep-in-able vehicle.

I know there isn't much roof height to play with so i'm not quite sure on which way to go about it.

I'm thinking either a full shelf/draw in the rear (ORS draw style), either a fridge on one of the sides of the rear boot area, or just use the shelf as storage for bags etc. then an extended shelf/sleeping ledge running down the opposite side.

Purchasing a pod for the roof to increase storage area, but also trying to figure out how i can stash my bike securely too.

basically trying to brainstorm how to do a bit of a convert to make a (more so) fit for traveling machine. Yes, i could just go out and buy a van and be done with it, but where's the fun with that!

Anyone any ideas on the legalities on removing the rear seat (or part there of)?

Not too worries about having passenger capabilities other then the front seat, but if i could leave either the single or double upright of the rear seats in place that'd be good, but not essential.

Appreciate and thoughts and suggestions or links to similar ideas.

Cheers,
Chris.
