Hi, 
I have just bought an Autosleeper Drake ford transit SWB CAMPER.

It is a 2 berth, has 4 seats.

I know the rear seats move about to make part of the bed but I can’t work out how it all goes together!

Any clues? I will try and add a photo

The Drake is not an Auto-sleeper model. It was a conversion by JC Leisure....

I don't recall Drake being a model that Auto-Sleeper ever sold. However, I see that JC Leisure made a model by that name, based on the Transit?

Is it possible that this is what you have, and that someone has added A/S graphics to help "improve" its resale value?

The company still seems to exist (in Rye, East Sussex) though they don't seem to do their own conversions any more.

Auto Sleeper is a brand with a history going way back. They are sold by appointed dealers throughout the country and, of course, by any dealer as used vehicles. Trouble is some people put AS graphics on home converted or other makes of conversion and it confuses things

Good to hear you're sorted.

It's very unlikely anyone here would have been able to help, because A/S don't supply their parts to other manufacturers, and they custom make almost all of their bed components (except in very rare cases, where they have been known to use RIB beds in smaller models).

I was beginning to wonder why Karlos wasn't shown by the seller!  scratch head
