bed design
« on: September 04, 2008, 07:52:32 PM »
whats the most important feature in a campa, cooker? .. fridge? ... cooling? ... window placement? ... shower/toilet? .... heater?... according to my darhling who states that she will never again come on camping trips with me cause of the bed, I therefore reckon that its the bedding arrangements. How have you designed your bedding, and no cheating by showing pics of the above cabin beds.

Show us how your bed converts to seating or whether its a fold up or pull out arrangement. My missus reckons that unless there is a queen size bed with an innerspring mattress she will stay at a motel and drive out to the campsite during the day  :D
hey Craig, yu are the man when it comes to interior pics can you share some bed pics with us?

Eddy, I think the handbrake has a point, a good mattress is a must, air beds are great with the right amount of air in them, but a good innerspring is more familiar.

If you can design the van around a permanent bed, and use a top quality mattress then you are assure of a good nights sleep, foam mattresses are just crap, offering no support.

You can do without a lot of things, but if you can't sleep, well you just dont enjoy it.

The Seats I have in the back of my van are OK for one night but for a trip away over a few days would see me putting an air bed on top of it.
