R&R beds are just so easy, pull the seat part forward, back drops down, instant bed. To put it away, just lift the seat until the ends go click, then push and the seat is back in position.
Sorry haven't got any pics on this puter.

If my memory serves me correctly then if you get a JK catalogue I believe it has a picture in there of at least the hinge set-up.

I did a Google and got quite a lot of info,also JK sent me their instructions , thanks again Cate.I always think I can make that with a bit of info,but to be honest the set up with Autosleepers bed is quite easy,so I don't know yet.We have get to go camping so I haven't tried it yet.

Try out what you've got first, see how it works and fits into how you like to camp. Then decide if you can be bothered to change a good system.

ive got a westfalia which i fetched from berlin, they have r n r beds as standard but i had a holdsworth for a short while aswell and the bed setup was also very good, see what you think when you use what youve got, because changing it may be lots of strife for no gain.

Yep, thats the way to go.
