ABSTRACT:
The single room interior space of a compact motorvan for most daytime living converts quickly into three private compartments by simply opening a set of dual function folding doors (movable partitions) exposing a toilet and bigger than average shower stall area (latter doubling as coat closet) and at the same time forming a central compartment, thereby automatically creating two more private compartments in front and rear. The kitchen facilities located in the central compartment, opposite from the toilet and shower/coat closet area, are used when the doors cover that area from view. This central utility compartment is always available for active use and never occupied by seats, table or beds. The four seats in the instantly creatable front compartment rapidly convert to two, wide single beds, with ample space between them for quick exit or access to the central privacy compartment. This convertible sitting-sleeping area includes a pair of front seats and a pair of rear seats, each of the seats having a seating portion and each of the rear seats further including a movable backrest. The front and rear seats are adapted to assume either a sitting mode or a sleeping mode and to accomplish this the front seat is mounted for rotation about a vertical axis while the seating portion of the rear seat is movable in a front to back direction. The backrest for the rear seat is also releasably retained in an upright position. By suitably arranging these components, conversion from the sitting mode to the sleeping mode is quickly accomplished.
