Hi,

I've got fittings in my Westy to take a bunk like this, but no bunk. Could you let me know who you got it from and I will contact them to see if their product it compatible with the mounts I have already.

Wish I'd seen it at Vanfest :cry:

I've got the same one and it looks like its fixed in the same way, my boy is now 3.5 and uses it no problem, however if he needs to get down during the night for a wee, then it's out of bed quickly and grab him!

Nice seats dude! That screens in the headrests? What are they out of?

Plus, would love to know weights to work out if our 7 year old could use the hanging hammock!

Look's cool though.

Mr banana,
click on that blue-bird link above....scroll down and you will see some pictures of them in use.....one has 2 adult sized girls on the bed! So unless your seven year old is the weight of a small elephant, and the lenth of a small giraffe, then I reckon you'd be ok....

if you look on the bluebird site http://www.bluebird-type2.co.uk/interior.htm you can see there's a couple of lady's in one on there so should be able to hold a fair bit of weight. :mrgreen:
