Sleeping in a Disco 1
Disco Matt:
I've done it, and with a decent sleeping bag to deal with the cold problem it'd be pretty comfy. The front seats don't fold flat but they will go back airline-style to a decent angle.
Unless you're 4ft tall the back seat is a non-starter! Front passenger seat is the way forward.

I fitted a sleeping platform in my 300tdi Disco when I went to Iceland last Summer (07). Worked a treat! Mind you, I had taken the rear seats out to increase storage. Allowed two of us to sleep comfortably in the back with the fronts seats tilting forward as a support for our heads/pillows.
All fabricated out of MDF. Simple really. I still have it if you want it... I now drive a SWB Toyota Land Cruiser so the platform just takes up room in my workshop...
I'll upload a picture to Photobucket so you can see it if you like...
Cheers

I have never done it but once looked in the boot and thought, wow I could sleep there!
I have 2 ammo boxes with tat in and a wooden board over the top for the dog and other tat to go on and still get to the ammo boxes.
This board also sits flat on the floor if needs be for extra room with large items etc.
However.
Fold both dickie seats open in the boot, fold the backs of the back seats to horizontal and hey presto, a kind of level surface to sleep on. Never tried it though.
I would go with caravan but if it is between disco and tent then I would do disco. At least if it gets cold in the night you can run the engine and get warm again where as in a tent there is no engine!!!
mike142sl:
If you want a decent nights sleep then a pop up tent is the way to go. I've done the sleeping in the car routine and you spend most of the night awake and cold!.
If you time it well you can find a remote layby and chuck the pop up tent over the wall and kip in the farmers field (best done after dark). If you get up early enough you can have the tent down and no one will know you'd been there.

ive slept in the back of my disco many times. fold the rear seats right up, clear your boot and as if by magic, its a bed. :D
