  • Ideally I'd own the folding double, but I won't pay rrp for one, so it's scouring marketplace until one comes up. They are rare, though, so it's two singles for now.

    As @Squaredisk reminded me, I compulsively checked marketplace and scored the double-size Jay Be yesterday.

    It fits between the wheel well boxes with maybe a few inches to spare. Best would be to raise it somehow (boxes could be removed but not lowered) and have it clear the boxes. I think as-is it the metal frame is just about level.

    The bed sideways folded fits between the wheel well box and the bulkhead behind the driver, so it will take up the space of the two singles nicely.

    Plan is to keep the singles anyway, just not all at once in the van. I don't want to dick about swapping interiors, but it's either single + bike inside, or double + no room. I'd sooner use the single myself when alone and keep the bike inside, but I suppose the reality is the events I'd go to, I can set an awning or at least a tent and lock the bike inside, or tether it to the van somehow.

    Unlikely any camping will get done this winter. The van felt a bit sluggish the past few miles, I think maybe the diesel was a bad pump as it felt better once filled from a different station.
