Hi everybody!
I tried to look for this information everywhere but still didn't find the answer. I want to buy Shogun/Pajero/Challenger and I am wondering is it possible in any of them to fold seats down/forward in a way that will allow you to sleep in the boot? What is the distance between back of the front seats and the end of the car? As far as i know it is possible to lay seats completely flat in Challenger, right?
Cheers!

Yes, the seats in a Challenger go completely flat, but I don't think that you need to incorporate the boot space. I will take a scan of the Owner's Manual later and post it here.

Pajero owners manual on my Google Drive HERE explains how to do it.

You are welcome to download it.

We used to fold the rear seats down on our Challenger and used the mattress from an old "Z-bed" in the rear and had many a comfortable night in there... Wink

Before that we had the SWB Pajero and although the seats fold flattish they make for a very uneven mattress and footspace is limited even with the front seats pushed as far forward as possible. Not recommended Rolling Eyes

Thanks guys! I am looking for a LWB as we want 5 doors. We are having our first baby in may Smile

(and this is going to be our first car as well haha) and we think that 5 door model will make things much easier. So I guess there would be plenty enough space, lengthwise.

I would recommend putting an air bed on the seats when folded into a bed, pretty uncomfy otherwise. Delica's fold into a nice big bed as well (but I'm biased Wink

Sorry I'm having a technophobe crisis Rolling Eyes

but if someone could link to the show us your mk1 thread I put pics of my Paj set out as a bed (mk1).

For a family space I would recommend the delica though, I have 4 kids and 2 large dogs and frankly our Paj struggles to accommodate (appreciate you don't have quite the menagerie I do) I must say I am no giant but I wouldn't want to spend the night in the truck unless I had to, there's barely enough length to lie down. Also we have a people carrier and it's a fact, they are better family cars by design. That said I take the truck for preference where possible Cool

All the best

You'll even see the "pillows" on the rear most seats.

When camping, we slept in our Mk1 lwb for around two years, draping a mozzie net over the whole truck so that we could safely leave all windows down through out the nights. One downside, we needed to store our goods in a 3m tent to make this sleeping space, until buying the roof top tent.
