bj3nk5, my old SMB had the double facing 4' gauchos you describe before I changed the floor plan. You can see lots of pics of it in that LONG build thread in my sig but just FYI it's pretty short side to side. The best pics of how the bed is made are on page 13 about in the middle.
Each side is 4' long, which is fine for a double bed, but slid together wall to wall they were only about 5'6" at the foot high level which gives you some useable storage underneath. My walls were not channelled, they had insulation and 1/4 paneling. Short story, it makes for a short bed.

Mine is mounted at the back of the van and clears the wheel well. I love it because it folds out of the way when I need to haul stuff. The stock bed was ~77" long but I tracked down the manufacturer and they were able to make me a slightly shorter bed. This left enough room at the front of my van for a 32" steel shelving unit that I'm installing next week.

I just did that! I might do different foam. But it allows me to build my rear storage and make it a bit longer to sleep on. Kind of a back up plan in case I don't bring the trailer

how would one identify if sofa coach is type the slides forward ONLY to expand to sleep position? Example.... one in this post http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/162588-Sofa-Bed-Ideas?p=2199523#post2199523 seems to open forward and backward... I can't do that cause if I go this route it will have back side agains rear wall.

Interested to see the sofa you bought from the back of the van in the seat position and then the bed position if you don't mind. Also what's the dimensions of the bed? Looks great!
