  • Slide out bed

    Just thought I would post a photo of our bed which I am building and highly recommend the mitre saw in the picture as it made my life a hell of a lot easier. Only £60 from Screwfix. Click image for larger version

        Look good ! Eager to see the finished article . What you putting on top? I was looking into
        Buying foam for mine and then getting my nan to make the covers but it's still not cheap
        So now considering a cheap foam
        Mattress and cutting it myself !

          Will put some more pics on tomorrow as I have fitted the slats and done the slide out section as well. Have found a company online that does upholstery foam and got a rough quote of £135 which is for caravans and motorhomes, http://www.thefoamshop.co.uk/ will give them a go and hopefully will be ok

                At the moment all the space under the bed is going to stay open, I am building another section down the passenger side up to the sliding door which will be the same and will be another section of the bed so will be full width. All of it will be hinged to gain access and will be putting hinged doors across the tailgate section to access from the outside. May in time section it off inside rather than be open but it will be quite handy sliding wind breaks and the like from the back

                  I know, most of the quotes we were getting were quite expensive so hopefully they will be good

                        Trust me, it's been challenging as it's all been in my head and no plans, so I have cocked up a couple of times and had to resize and recut but it's getting there, even if it is slower than I would like lol

                          Haha mine is in head also but must of changed several times. Originally thought I'd done shape behind seats facing rear, Then considered U shape then L shape at bottom with removable section. Now I'm back to U shape at the moment with the longest side being side door but using àn end piece to slide out and extend. Well I think lol I have a swb but fitted hightop so do have extra room up top for storage. Keep the pics coming.. nice one
