Stealth Bed

We knew the van was going to need a bed and we had lots of ideas, but as the build progressed, we kept putting it off. Initally we wanted bunk beds to fall out of the walls, but they were too thick to accomodate the motorcycles and compromised the bench storage. I am really happy to show you the solution we came up with.

No bed here

In order to fit the dirtbikes, we needed to maximize the space down the center of the van. We opted for two long benches that fit comfortably under the handlebars.

Support Storage

The bed is a bit of a transformer. The front edges of the benches become the support for the mattress (padding) and they also hide the seven bed supports while driving.

Supports

Each support has a kickstand that needs to be folded down. There are teflon feet on the supports so there is no floor damage. There are slots on the front edges of the benches where the supports drop into.

Ready for sleep

Once deployed, the bed is pretty cozy. I have never slept so well camping before. The van is really quiet.
