As above please, we basically have a blank canvas in the back of our T25 and want to start by installing a bed of some sort in time for our trip to France. Only prob with the R&R bed is because we have the Audi engine installed the rear engine cover sits a good 150mm higher than standard, so the R&R would need to be mounted higher than normal if you see what I mean? We are mainly looking for ideas to make/buy a decent bed of some sort, while also sorting some storage space too! All photo's/help appreciated,

Thanks

Why not just pay a visit to the 'Garage' at the top of the page?

This is worth a browse:

but is probably more aimed at picking a colour to go with your surfboard!

You need a Devon Bluebird RnR bed ... these have a steel frame and the back drops onto a platform which is normally ~4" higher than the engine lid ... raise this bed base by 2" and Robert's your Auntie's husband

Hope this helps, Ian.

thanks guys!

Yes Ian that sounds about right - where could we buy such a bed then? Just kampers are out of stock of their R&R beds currently

You'll need to ring round the Club van breakers or try a search for 'Bluebird' on eBay etc. Be prepared for an unpleasant surprise on the price though !!

JK beds are just hinges and boards, as I said the Bluebird ones have a steel frame, including a base which can be bolted to the floor ... or in your case through the floor AND a 2" packing

Good shot James. The earlier Devon ones have a base frame at the floor level too.

Our R&R hinges also need a platform for the bed to meet the back, we have a some pics if you need to see, but you don't need a full frame bed to get the clearance you need.

Thsoe are great pics thanks - what bed/platform have you used again?

Post by **mrsscoobydrew** » 23 Jul 2008, 11:02

The back platform was with the interior when we got it, but you can make one it easy the wood we used was 14+ 1/2 cms wide which didn't need cutting down make a frame with supports in the middle and put a lid on.
