With the height of the bikes though I worry that if we keep them upright we would be running out of vertical space for the bed (although could probably lower the droppers to help). We'll also be turning the bikes 90* so that the handlebars face the rear doors - this mounting method is just what worked with the rear seat bolt locations and allows us to temporarily use an air mattress at night.

I think I have the same fork mounts, although haven't installed them yet. I tried fitting my bikes in across the width, but my M16C was just too long even with the front wheel removed. My pending MegaTower replacement has a similarly massive wheelbase, so a lengthwise installation will be required.
On a positive side, with a dropper post and a single crown fork, the MT should be a fair bit shorter when in stow-mode than the M16C was with its 200mm travel dual crown fork.
I'm hoping to fix the mounts to a tray of some type and still have enough height for a platform bed. Fingers crossed.
