So here is the rear bunk fitted, its made from some old timber we had in the garage and two runners from the boys bunkbeds, they now sleep on the floor, just kidding we purchased them a new set as the wooden ones were getting on a bit!

The rear and side windows were painted with metal gloss paint, i just need to cut in the edges. This cost next to nothing and as the windows will be insulated and boarded over it matters not what they look like on the inside, from the outside it just looks like they have been tinted, easier and cheaper!!

Next job is to collect a load of ply i have purchased off Ebay and a few sheets from packing cases at work, we will then board out the sides under the bed, the back and the from of the upper bed, leaving a hole for the boys to climb though to access the bed, underneath with then be fitted with some caravan seats (if they fit) and the rear will be accessed from the back doors for storage of gas bottles and water......

No work this weekend as the kids are up and we dont want to tell them about it till its done, we will then suprise them by picking them up in it and going away for the weekend.

  1. Hi Dave,
    How have you attached the bed to the floor? I'm thinking about doing the same as you as i want a "garage" in the back of the van for our bikes

  2. Hi Chris, We only fixed the uprights to the side walls, they are fixed with self tapping screws and strong adhesive, also a blob of adhesive on the bottoms to keep them fixed!
