Cab Bunk - Installation/Robustness?

Post by Yozza »

Ay up,
Anyone on here installed the new cab bunk from Bluebird Customs?
There isn't a huge amount of detail regarding the installation, anyone had any experience fitting one? What did the litle un think?

If it's the one above the two front seats it's easy as pie!!! Just make sure you have a 9mm drill bit because they don't supply it with thr kit.
It takes ten mins to fit and my eldest who is three loves it.

Hi armyphil,


I need somewhere for my 18month old to sleep, I like the idea of the hammock in the front cab but am a bit concerned about her falling off/out, Is there much room between the bed and the front window? I guess I could use some caravan netting on gap between the front seats. Can't see much detail from bluebird photo.

Many Thanks

My eldest is three the youngest 7 month they have both trialled and slept in it. For the youngest I roll up two towels to atop rolling out

The eldest is ok to be honest he gets in and out on his own now.

I doubt they could fall out window side due to the rear view mirror, you could easily fit a cargo net around the bed though to def stop them falling out. I think they may even do some kind of sleeping bag for hound children this wod also stop them rolling round.

Hope that helps
