Hi, anyone managed to transport a 55" boxed TV in the back of a L405 ? the box dimensions look like they would actually just fit behind the front seats in-between the back seats but I don't think you would be able to get the box in the side door ?

I think it will fit in the rear but I have executive seating that doest go anywhere near flat so I don't think I can stand it upright either ?

Any experience greatly appreciated  2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

I successfully transported a (boxed) 75" TV in the back of my old L322.... but that involved laying the back seats down and it was at a slight angle to fit....

With regards the L405 - without being able to fold the seats down, I think you'll struggle.... unless you can 'post' it over between the rear seats and the roof? Andrew.

I think the angled route might be the only way to go just wanted to try and get it upright because I need to move it to the french alps and they are supposed to stay upright. 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

They are stronger upright - when horizontal it is much easier to flex them and crack the screen.

Is it a TV you already have ? Can't you get one delivered in France ?

Hi Alistair, yes it's not needed here any more and I have a need for a new one in my chalet, its still quite new so worth the effort IF I can transport it safely, I'll test fit it at the weekend and see how it looks  2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

Definitely won't be taking it if the only option is flat  2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

Just to finish this post off in case any one searches for it, the answer is, yes you can fit it upright behind the seats but I couldn't really get my seat in a comfortable enough position to be able to drive down to France. Absolutely fine to pick up from Currys but not for a long journey

looks like the box/tv could have gone onto the rear seats? ... - .- -.

It does Stan but gives me absolutely no vision out the back. Again fine for a trip to Currys but not for a 600 mile trip. 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

I've regularly done long distances with it loaded to the roof. On the motorways it's really just the side mirrors I use anyway.

As soon as you tow, there's nothing to see in the rear mirror anyway.

You can also turn the backup camera on whilst driving so the screen can become a replacement rearview camera. When I have my wolfhound in the boot there is no rear visibility when he stands up. Vans often don't have a rearview mirror so I would go for a comfortable driving position over rear visibility. Hope you have a safe trip.
