There is a bit in the Wiki under bunks.

You can fit a bunk across the cab area above the seats, use the door pillars for the cups, Justkampers do a kit.

Older type caravans used to have removable bunks consisting of 4 cups 2 poles through canvas for the mattress part (looked a bit like a stretcher when fitted up).

I used these front cots in my split and bay campers when kids were small. Most aftermarket ones have canvas too loose. Mine were original westy and canvas was stretched tight like old military cot ones.

Hope this helps.

Villa 3's have a 2 bed bunk in the pop top. Its a 4 birth van.

If your missing the extension panels that extend the bunk they can easily be made with slats of ply wood.

I'm in the middle of restoring a Holdsworth Vision 1989. Mine had the extra berths in the high top.

I didn't require them so pulled the whole lot out. The Villa must be similar.

I had two strips of 1" Ally angle iron down each side of the high top shelf screwed down with a couple of self tappers, and a pine construction slatted bed that slid in to these (similar construction to a gate!). The bed came in three main sections with a ladder into the kitchen area.

I can take pictures and measurements if you want.
