Fitting a rock and roll bed
Hey all
I've just managed to buy my first van and im in love, she's a 1980 devon, rear interior had been taken out by the previous owner as he used it as a van but it was all still there (in a heap), i've re-paneled the inside and and all was going well untill i tried to fit r&r bed....HEEEEELP... Is there anyone who could give me some idiot proof instructions or better still send a photo of the bed frame in place, It is a 3/4 R&R and is the original one out of the van.
Many Many Many thanks in advance

Hi
I too am looking to fit a rock & roll bed & have looked at various new ones & a few second hand ones. Anybody know what determines if a r & r bed is MOT compliant?
Cheers
