bed plans

Post by Pifflebus »

I am trying to work out a DIY rock'n'roll bed idea that incorporates a small drawer unit over the engine bay, I have seen pictures of this done before, but but i believe it was done in conjuction with forward folding caravelle seats... has anyone ever made a rock'n'roll bed a bit higher to allow for the extra storage or anything under the bed? If so would you be so kind as to throw some dimensions my way?

Here is a vague idea of what i am thinking!

lots of storage under normal rock and roll bed,raised section over engine can be pull out drawer, our lift up as i did,very simple construction for both.Based mine on a Reimo bed,fitted a box section on the back of seat to carry a table and acts as a support when the bed is down.
Have the Reimo plans if you need them.

I have nearly finished something similar in our Caravelle. It's not a rock & roll as I wanted to retain the original seats. I will see what I can do about taking and posting some pics.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it!
