Quite clever that.

Not that anyone will buy it (not at £2k anyway). Club racers just sling the bike outside and sleep on the van floor.

£2000 I could buy another van and convert it into a double bedroom

Quite clever and keeps the space flexible.

Mine had a folding beds, which came down when bike came out.
Or single bed with bike inside.

Vans seem to have shot up in price recently so the two grand extra van might not be that good an option.

I really, really like that. But unfortunately a standard VW T4 simply doesn't have the required height to allow a reasonable sized sleeping area with a bike (or two) stowed underneath. To plagiarise a famous line from a famous 70s film - 'We're gonna need a bigger van'...
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

I found there wasn't quite enough room in my low roof mk7 Transit to sleep on a piece of ply on top of two oil drums. Sleeping was OK, but if I rolled over my shoulder touched the roof.

That system looks good, but easily made tolerably for less than that.

I really like that, don't really have a use for it these days but would have given it serious thought 10 or so years ago

Yup, they have indeed- have been thinking of replacing the trusty old LT recently, but it seems you either spend a couple of k to get an old shitter that is probably worse than what I've got or add £10k or more to it to get something reasonable, doesn't seem to be a lot inbetween
