This will be a really really daft question......
We pick our first ever 1983 1.6D T25 up in a few days and we wondered how you actually get up to the top bed.
I have visions of my hubby doing monkey swings to try and get up......not pretty
Do you need a ladder or just stand on the kitchen
told you it was a bit of a doh question

Some people with littlies use a ladder but I can climb up easily on kitchen, it's not that high
And it's not a doh question. ANd welcome to the club

I cant get up to ours!! but I am the size of a small heffalump!
we use ours for storing everything and use the rock n roll bed. But our friends have to lift up their kiddies to get them in theirs......
I can imagine if I ever did manage to get up there it would be the most histerical thing to watch me trying to get down again!!!!!

We use the leg up and drag technique, similar to Ians
Getting down we use the dangle your foot and when it hits something hard go for it and hope the lid is down on the portaloo, technique

Thanks for all the replies and the welcomes.
We are picking it up tonight so will try out different ways....foot on back of hubby is my thought
have 3 small tiddlers so my 4 year old will have fun trying (and no doubt falling out of it) my other 2 are younger so wouldn't trust them with a barge pole unless we were camped in a hospital car park.
Wish me luck in hoping that we get it home without breaking down tonight...we have to drive 55 mile to get it home

I bet your face hurts from smiling by the time you get back. I had to drive about 80 miles to pick mine up and I haven't stopped smiling since.
