Custom made aluminum/wood folding bed For sale (L300)
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2009 12:01 pm
I've ditched my attempts to camperize the van in favor of keeping it as a people mover, so I've decided to put up my super awsome bed for sale to see if there is any interest.
I have not figured out how to post pictures on here, so if you are seriously interested send me a e-mail and I'll send you some pics (that I can do)
OK, here is what I've done. The bed is 4' X 6'2" and sits about 16" off the floor. The rear bench seat has to be removed, but the middle seats remain. The support for the rear of the bed is custom welded aluminum that bolts directly into the existing holes used to secure the bench seat. (meaning lots of unobstructed room under the back for storage)the front peice is supported by 2 folding wooden legs.
In driving mode the bed is nicely folded in the back, with the middle seats fully functional, in sleep mode the middle seats are swivelled around (facing back) and the bed unfolds over them.
Everything is included, Including the 2 peice cut foam mattress. If you come up to squamish I will even help you install it.
The bed is very light, but very strong. Also it is able to be easily converted from drive mode to sleep mode without having to open any doors or get out of the van (a major bonus in the rain)
The custom welding was the only really expensive part involved, aside from that it was just many many hours of me with a little saw. A good option if you are short of many spare hours, or a little saw.
$400
