Holdworth Villa 2 hightop bunk information

Post by HytestA »

Hello all, Im just about to purchase a nice Holdworth Villa 2 hightop with intention of using it on roadtrips with the wife and nippers.
It has a few bit to be done to it but generally the van is in great shape, I do however have to consider sleeping arrangements for a 3 year old and an 8 month old.
There is a space above the cab area where one of the kids could possible sleep, so long as I make sure they cant roll out, but i'm more interested in having a full on bunk system in the top, and probably a cab bunk too
I have checked out the T25 Holdsworth info site and looked at the brochures and there are optional cab bunks and roof bunks listed.
I was wondering if anyone here had any further information about these bunks, and whether there are alternative roof bunks that I could retro fit in place.

Any information and photos would be really handy.

Thanks :)

Simple. One of you sleep downstairs with the kids and the driver sleeps upstairs and gets a good night's sleep.

No there are no boards, hence the photographic information would be very handy so I could get an idea how it all fits together, should be able to knock up some replacements ;)
