Coffee in Bed (1 Viewer)

[CamperSue]

We are really enjoying our Campscout but one thing we are struggling with is finding a good place to put our coffee cups while we sit in bed in the morning. We find it more comfortable having our heads at the rear end of the bed and hubby currently uses the shelf although the cup only just fits. I sleep on the other side and would like a cup holder or similar. I don't like to screw into walls but know that I may have to for a cup holder. However, I want to be sure I get it right.

What do you use to hold your morning coffee cup ?

we had the same problem when we started using our self build i just went for a small shelf. we tried cup holders and found none fitted every cup and after a few spills scrapped them and fitted the shelf

Would these work ----

We have the same problem with our Campscout, however as we sleep the 'wrong' way round with our feet next to the rear doors rather than our heads I've hooked a couple of cup/bottle holders over the strong part of the wall pockets, you can see the location of one of them on the left side of the first picture.

Thanks @Stealaway These look nice but none of the corners in the back of the Campscout are square.

It's only acrylic could you not file them to fit?

Thanks @mitzimad I dread the idea of drilling into our new baby. Sigh...

Thanks @Minxy Girl More great fettling! I know you like to sleep that way but we find it harder to get in and out of bed that way. The coffee cup dilemma is the only downside for us.

HaHa - I knew that would be a suggestion .
I do get out of bed... normally at about 5am when the dog decides that it is light enough that she needs to be fed breakfast ! After that, she is happy to sleep again and I just want to relax in bed with my first coffee of the day.

Hmmm. I will have a think about that.

we use these slide down between mattress and side wall then stow away when not in use.

What are those Tibetan moon boots doing on the bed?

How about finding something you can hook over the little cubby shelves on the rear doors ...

This slot-in one has cut-outs for mug handles apparently:

Thinking on this more and my suggestion for something to hook on the rear doors ... would something along the lines of these do?

Thanks @Minxy Girl . These might work for you since you sleep with your heads at the other end, but we would keep banging our head on them.

I have ordered one of the wedge cup holders that you and @Rolly suggested. We'll see if it works for us.

Like you, I didn’t want to drill into the fabric of my moho, so I used sikaflex (other brands of adhesive are available) to fix a batten onto which I screwed the mount for my fire extingisher. If I need to revise, some guitar wire will separate the batten from the wall.

@WSandME Good idea. I may try that for some other projects in the campervan. There is only so much I can do with 3M Command hooks.
