DYO • Miscellaneous Seats/Beds
The photos above show a shortened Gaucho with an extension cushion. This will make a 67" long bed by whatever width you want. This extension cushion has folding legs so that it can stow in the base of the Gaucho. All Sportsmobile seats include seat belts.
To make the bed, the Gaucho seat cushion slides out on steel tracks. The back cushion then drops into place. The extension can then be put in place.
Large, dark tinted windows provide beautiful vistas. This interior is visually appealing with cherrywood cabinetry, Ostrich vinyl upholstery, Onyx counter-top and tight-loop carpeting. As you can see, the stove was deleted. A converter was included to power the 110V microwave and other 110V items.
There's space in the rear for bulky items and a clothes-hanging bar. Upper cabinets provide more storage. In place of roof top A/C the internal-mount Danhard A/C was installed.
Third and fourth Captain's seats ensure long-distance riding pleasure. The seats recline, swivel and have fore/aft adjustments. The arms swing up for easy seating.
