Tootles, I had a terrible vision of "the elephant" losing its footing !!
It would all go very dark for you very quickly !! :ROFLMAO:
Oh, its happened!! The elephant bursts out laughing, whilst the seal ends up looking like one of those red things elephants (used) to sit on at the circus.......:cry::cry::cry:

I fancy an island bed.

The problem with putting the bed lengthways down the van, is that after 4 ft, the toilet on one side and the wardrobe on the other makes the corridor, width around 2 1/2 feet. A 4ft bed long bed wont work, even for Midget Seal, which I'm not! :(

Tootles, as a lot of people have said, have a word with Terry ... I have to speak to him on the phone tonight re an e bay item, as he is away from home all day today, would you like me to mention it to him? He can sort all those problems out for you no probs.

PS you don't need to have an op to not be able to leap up and down ladders!! Why do you think I got a fixed bed... :)
Thanks Joy, that would be great if you could mention it......(y)(y)

7 years campers before that
if it a regular u shaped lounge there's two options slide out from one side to bridge the gap or permanent bed that lifts from one end on struts the slide out will allow you to use the lounge but involves bed making each night
if you want the lift up you could use a metal framed wood slatted bed frame from any bed supplier or like mine which i found on ebay for a tenner

How about getting Mrs Tootles to run up some curtains which could be attached to the lower outside of the van, enclosing the wheels &c.
Tootles could then sleep under the van on a mat with absolutely no need to climb anywhere.
Mrs Tootles could then sleep anywhere she damn well likes.
See, all it takes is a bit of lateral thinking and everyone is happy.

I just told her that.......(n) Death by Kilverts Lard for you, mate.........
That one has gone straight over my head, it has a faintly Northern edge to it, any translation/explanation would be gratefully accepted.:whistle:
And over mine. I didn't wish to enquire too closely into the fetishes of Lancastrians.

Really FAT women in Lancashire are manufactured from Kilverts Pure Lard mate. You bump into one in the street, you look like a rejected chip pan.

Motorhome beds seem to be the pits, My rear double has not enough room to roll over without hitting the cupboards along the side cannot sit up as the cupboard above your head knock you out, the roof stop you sitting up. and it is four foot high off the floor. Climbing over the Wife require dexterity and during the night in the dark is dangerous. Now I sleep in the lounge she sleeps up top we both sleep and both have enough room. With a low roof/high bed SEX would be difficult even for the very young, but I don't worry now I'm too old for that she says.

So, if you're converting the rear lounge to a permanent bed, does that mean you also need to convert the over-cab area to a lounge? :LOL:

I'd have thought that would be an even bigger project...

Tootsy, what MH have you got ... I can then have a google and see if I can come up with a solution ... failing that ask Techno as he likes messing about and tinkering with MHs!
