Pop top sleeping

Post by Marshmallow »

So the v.an is almost ready for our first weekend away but was wondering what do people sleep on in the pop top, was planning on both the children sleeping up there on their blow up ready beds but I am not convinced it is wide enough for them side by side, so interested to know what others do. Thank you

Full width pop top? can't really comment on others but the Westies have a 3 - 4 inch foam matrass.
Personally I would say the limit upstairs is 2 youngsters below the age of 12.

We have a 10 year old and a 3 year old.
The 10 year old sleeps in the roof and the 3 year old sleeps on a cab hammock across the front.

We have a standard mattress up there too. It's a squeeze be we manage two adults upstairs or downstairs as when necessary!

I sleep in the top of my Uncles T25 Devon whenever we go to Goodwood or Busfest. Loads of space for two!
