is it only you and a partner? doesnt look like middle seats would be safe to use with bed frame, has it been tested for safety in acrash with all that wood?
@43bluedoors Жыл бұрын
Just for 2 people. It probably isn't obvious, but middle seats are rendered unusable with this setup. We built five of these vans so that we could use four of them for crash testing. The results were inconclusive. Those last two statements were made in jest. I implore you not to take any advise or any ideas from this video seriously.

@@ClayKirby-sj3zy Neither of us is tall so it was perfect for us. So definitely measure for your height. You might gain a little space by moving the front seats forward and leaning them forward at night. It seems that all vehicle prices have skyrocketed and yeah the van life is taking off. I hope you find your perfect fit.

In mazda 6 GG,I can achieve 210cm with front seats closest to dashboard
@43bluedoors Жыл бұрын
If you lean and slide the front seats forward, you might be able to make 210cm. I no longer have the Mazda5 though so I can't be so sure. You could then fashion some sort of extension platform or bridge that is collapsible or can be taken apart, with matching section of mattress. That might get tiring after a while, but if you can design it to be quickly and easily assembled/disassembled, it might be worth a try. Best of luck!

@43bluedoors Жыл бұрын
We have since sold the van but I think it was between 72 to 74 inches, just long enough for my 5'8" husband. This however was with the front seats still in their position for driving. If the front seats were pushed forward and leaned forward you could probably gain at least another foot. By using the foam mattress that we did it would be easy it bend it back during the day while the front seats are back in place.

Technically yes we could have unbolted the seats and removed them. We left them in because our original plan was to sell the van on the opposite side of the country. We thought it might have a better resale value with the seats. Otherwise, we definitely would have removed them.

For both gen of Mazda 5 you will want to relocate the TCM (transmission computer module) to prevent it from overheating (it is a 2-hour job) and change the transmission fluid once every 30k miles. Overheated transmission due to lack of fluid change will destroy the transmission. Overheated TCM will develope cold solder joints on the circuit board which causes shifting issues with computer codes. You also use the car off road (to take good videos/photos) so a new set of aftermarket cx-5 shocks and spring is preferred.
