Sorry another question! I've seen a picture of a coast with the porta potti in place with the bottom bed made up - can any beach owners confirm if this is possible please? Happy to shuffle the front seats about etc to make it happen!

Can confirm this is not possible on a T7 Beach with the bed made up I’m afraid. The reason this is different to the Coach/Ocean is because I believe the cupboard that houses the summer kitchen is longer than the shelf on the Coach/Ocean (not confirmed with actual measurements but I believe true) and as a result you can’t push the seats as far back when flat (in order to fit the Porta Potti in). Plus the Coast has a little extra space by the kitchen/fridge.

Thanks - I'm wondering if the situation is different if the middle seat isn't taken camping? I've seen some comments on a youtube video suggesting that might be the case?

I’m away this weekend in it (without the middle seat) so I’ll try to remember to take a few pictures to show, but I don’t think so no :/

[@stoobthealien](https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/members/41288/) I’ve taken a few pics below of the bed made up but with the middle seat taken out. I’ve tried my best to show that the Porta Potti (in this case a 335) wouldn’t fit in the space on either the driver or passenger side, but it does look like it will just about fit in the middle, without the middle seat (and no ladder if applicable)!  
  
Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for this - I have a 12 year old who needs to go when she needs to go! At least I know it would fit...might just sleep with my head facing the back of the van for when she ventures down for a midnight wee! I'd intended on taking out the extra seat when camping anyway, makes sense to have the extra space
