Motorhome fit out

Bed frame this time

The bedroom needs a bed

We had already got the bed when we were in Yulara N.T. so now it was time to put it all together. Being that nothing is fitting out of the box things will have to be cut to shape to fit in place. The bed head will be to high to start with so that was cut down to size and fitted between the bedside draws.

The bed head cut down to size and only just fitted between the draws.

Because we had to lift the bed up 150mm to fit into place over the motor area, the bed sides will still need around 100mm cut out of them near the bed head.

This will be fitted over the engine bay
Not what I expected on the inside.
Now lets hope it fits.
Now it will fit over the engine bay.
Setting up for the bed sides.
Screw nuts now in place.
Ok that’s the bed frame done.

Something to hold the bed up with

Now that the beds in place we still have to build something to hold the bed off the floor. We will be back setting this so you can put your feet under the bed by around 90mm as we don’t have much room down either side of the bed.

The start of the bed support, screw and glue as we go.
That’s the upright bit done.
From the front side with a kick board look.
A test run.
Finishing off with some left over material.
That looks better.
Bed support in place.
Looks like it was made that way.
I’ll be putting on the slats in later as they will only be in the way now.

Well that turned out better than I thought, now it’s done. The gas struts work well so we have more storage under the bed, you can never have too much storage space in a motorhome so the more the better. There is also a place were you can open up to work on the top of the gearbox under here too, lets hope not. I’ve also made a draw that slides down the old walkway that goes under the floor for more storage, which makes Charmaine very happy, she loves it.
