The Trekker comes in one Adaptable version for every compact L2 van on the list above. With no side cabinet, there’s very little to cut: the Slide bed goes in with no cuts at all in the Berlingo XL, Partner Long and Caddy Maxi, and in the Kangoo L2 one bed panel needs a short cut along a scribed line. The side panel supplied with the bed, along the front bed section, may need a small cut too.

Features
- Stretch out after a day outside. Set the sofa up as a straight bench or an L-shape, then pull out the double bed when you’re ready to turn in.
- Breakfast with a view. Open the back doors, extend the kitchen and make coffee in the morning air. There’s room for your own camping stove, food and utensils.
- Space to get ready for the day. With no side cabinet, the floor stays open in bench mode while you sort your gear or pull on your shoes.
- Your bike comes too. Travelling solo? Leave the bed pushed in and use the space alongside it for a bike or long board.
- Room underneath for the big stuff. Open storage under the bed, reached from the side and the back doors, with room for a battery up to 26 cm high.
- Space along the wall. There’s room for kit along the van wall, narrowing towards the back. To reach it, you can fit the side panel supplied with the bed, along the front bed section (it may need a small cut).
- Light by design. About 29 kg for the whole kit, so your van keeps saving you money at the pump. Delivered raw to oil, varnish, paint or leave natural.

What does the Trekker do?
The Trekker suits trips where you spend the day outside and come back to somewhere comfortable to sit and sleep. Its two units are the Slide Standard bed and the Slide Kitchen, leaving out a side cabinet to give you more open floor space in bench mode.
Cooking happens outside at the back doors, so choose this layout if an outdoor kitchen suits the way you travel. Prefer a fixed bench and a side cabinet for more enclosed storage? Compare the Weekender XL below.

Your questions before you order
Compact L2 vans like the Citroën Berlingo XL, Peugeot Partner Long, VW Caddy Maxi, Renault Kangoo L2 and Mercedes Citan Long. There’s one Adaptable version for all of them. Not sure? Check the Van Selector before you order.
In most vans, no. The Slide bed goes in with no cuts in the Berlingo XL, Partner Long and Caddy Maxi. In the Kangoo L2, a bed panel over the rear wheel arch needs a short cut with a jigsaw, along a scribed line. If you fit the side panel supplied with the bed, along the front bed section, it may need a small cut too. In vans not on our list, you mark the line yourself. Please note: furniture that has been cut is no longer eligible for our Satisfied or Refunded guarantee.
No. The Trekker mattress is sold separately and is cut to fit the bed: 187 x 130 cm. Add it above. Simple Vans mattresses come in one colour, heather grey.
Both fit the same compact L2 vans and give you a bed up to 187 cm long. The Trekker leaves out the side cabinet for the most open floor and a wider, 130 cm bed, and comes with the Slide Kitchen, an outdoor cooking station that extends out of the back doors. The Weekender XL gives you a fixed bench, a 110 cm wide bed and a side cabinet: more storage, a place for everything.
No. The Slide Kitchen has room for a camping stove (not included).
Yes. The Gliss 110 drawer, the Top Shelf and the hanging table can be added to a Standard Trekker at any time.
