kids cab bed

Post by Choppski »

Hi,

i'm looking at camping in the winter and thought that a cab bed in the front would be better than pooping the roof up to keep the heat in the van better.

I've seen this bed - have you used/ bought one and are they any good?

Hi, I have just bought a cab bunk and used it first time with my three year old and it was great.
There was another thread about them on here with a link to one on eBay.
I had posted a pic of it on the 'what did you do to your t25' thread.
I am on my phone now so cant link it for you.
They were cheaper too and apparently you get discount if you are a member (i didn't as I had already bought it when I found out)

Hi Choppski.

Here are lots of pics of the hammock with pics of the brackets. Hope they help you decide what to do.

Probably the most boring photos on here, but hope they help. Cliff.

That looks way, way better than the Bluebird version. I've had a Bluebird cab bunk, I wouldn't but another.
