Dingo, thanks for the complement. I thought everyone in the UK had a shed? Everyone in the USA has a shop at least as large as mine. In Austraila and New Zealand they have bigger shops and the government supplies the beer.
Glasseye, it is a tip out door that becomes a bed, it takes about 2 minutes to open and close it. It is awesome. There is all so a built in bench/bed on the curb side. had it out 3 times now and its not even finished yet.

At this point I have no earthly ideal, are you trying to make me cry?

That tip out bed is a cool idea. I've seen them do it with the VRVs. Have been pondering the idea of doing that with the open rear doors of the sprinter. Somehow dropping a platform that is exposed when the doors are opened and supporting it in the same way. Are those just two heavy coated cables anchoring the platform level? Did you create the tent portion for it as well?

Yes the platform is supported by two guy wires. No I did not install the bed door or build the tent. The whole bed door is made by challenger door, they made the custom cabinets too.
I Originally looked at the vrv trailers, but the nose configuration wasted a lot of space and thier production was not set up to handle all the custom stuff I needed. Tom

If you also have some investment in Okoume marine plywood by Joubert, novakool, epoxyusa, grk phonix fasteners, challenger cabinets. Then you could retire.

I checked challenger door's site. I didn't see that pop out. Special order?
I'd love more detail. I'm about to start a build... PA Slammer |
