I will be at Dubfreeze, Volksworld and Bustypes. My wife is due in May so I'm not sure what I will be getting to after that.

Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions etc

Thanks buddy, they are definitely more useful than the pull out roof bunk :lol:

John from Dorset Dubbers came to pick up 2 beds for his Campervan Hire Company

A really nice guy, who is obviously in the business for all the right reasons. If you know anyone wanting to hire a camper I would be happy to recommend his company.

Just bustypes left for me this season (unless I get very lucky :lol: )

Please ask if you have any questions.

Hi All

Due to my wife being due in the next week I have stopped production for the next few months.

I have kits available for £112.50 for Earlybay users and 1 x 73/74 bed left.

I also have an original if anyone is interested.

Thanks everyone.

Jon

not the best photo - but as a slight twist we did it in 15mm moisture resistant [green] MDF....worked a treat.

and we've had my 2 kids and me up there and it wasn't bowing that much the kids have been playing up there today as we bought them new sleeping bags....

That is simply not on! I was just about to text and order two off you. Swine.

Can I just add, I received a bed from Jon last week and fitted it today (actually to a '73 westy I have sold). The bed was **INCREDIBLE** quality far better than expected and fitting was a doddle. Everything about it looks and works like factory, VERY IMPRESSED.

Good luck with the new arrival Jon

Thank you all for your comments, I'm glad people are happy with them.

Me and Lee will be continuing with these. I just hate letting people down, so thought it would be best to stop for a couple of months to be there to help out with the new arrival.

I'll keep you all posted.

I have been doing a bit of work whilst waiting for the new arrival:

Beds are now rated to 12.5 stone/80kg as per the originals.

New price is £255 for fully upholstered bed in Mustard corduroy.
+ £20 if you want brown or cream vinyl
+ £65 if you want mustard vinyl

£125 for the kit on it's own as they were before.

Due to time and material costs I will need payment before I start making beds, but I may even start again in a few weeks.

Thanks for everyone's support.

What were the weight limits on the older type?

What were the weight limits on the older type?

First batch

65 kg /10 stone

New ones

80kg / 12.5 stone

I have one from the first batch and it works great, I just found a better supplier for the ply and it has less flex.

 

[TakeLifeEasy]

So is it just the ply that limits the weights on the old ones or have you changed anything else on the new ones. Just wondering if I can chance sleeping up on my old one (I am 12st)?

Yes, just the ply. All other bits are the same. However, as with any product, I am always happy to listen to what people say and make changes as I go along. The problem is changes often increase the cost.

I have rated them to air on the side of caution, but I am about the same weight as you and am happy to use it. Worse case would be to make a removable brase bar that would fit across the sunroof. You could then have no flex and it would be rated to the weight the roof could take.

These were always designed for children, so that if people weren't happy with single bunk they would feel safer with the double. Also for those mad enough to have 3 they wouldn't have to use an awning.

Feel free to call me with any questions I haven't answered.
