Attended a 'Do' in the middle of the NY Moors last night.
Wanting a few beers, I was going to camp out.
But swmbo hates camping.
Thought about using the D3, and it worked a treat.
I'm 6' 2" and had plenty of room [didn't even have to put the seats forward].
Slept the two of us in absolute comfort.
The rear side panels make great bedside cabinets.
[did put pillows to rear end though, not as pic].
No faffing about erecting then dismantling tents!
And it's warmer!
Will certainly be using it for this again.
 If I could think of anything intelligent, poignant or witty, I'd put it here !!!

I've done this before also. I have a large inflatable matress, and even I at 6'-7" was able to fit, though I did have to move the seats forward and sleep at a slight diagonal.

That must be one of the many advantages of tinted windows then . . . . . "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

I was pished, in the middle of a field, so curtains didn't really seem to be an issue.
My wife was obviously pished when she bought the duvet cover - she did say that browns n creams were the 'in thing'.
Anyone recommend a suitable vase for a flower arrangement ??? If I could think of anything intelligent, poignant or witty, I'd put it here !!!

What a brilliant Idea
If you had the roof mounted DVD screen you could even watch movies in bed

I actually think it works quite well with the Alpacca/Ebony trim
