A fixed bed, well almost, many of you know we down sized to a van conversion 6 years ago, at first it felt so small but we soon got used to it and for us it was a good move ,to be able to go into a town and park reasonably easy is great. Over the years we have done lots of things to the van, nothing costing a fortune its amazing what you can do with a few rolls of sticky back plastic and the skills you learnt from watching Blue Peter. Time has now caught up with me and making up the bed every night is a problem especially in a confined space. A fixed bed is something I have always thought a waste of space , space that could have been put to better use making the kitchen areas better with work tops to name one thing. So time to alter the van so we have a semi fixed bed. All the cushions are now residing in our loft and a new piece of high density foam has taken their place so comfy not having cushion joins, no making up now every night but the foam bends so can still get into the storage areas under it. At the front of the van we now have what the salesmen call a dinette area, the two seats revolve and I have made a small removable table for eating so looking forward now to travelling and not having to make the bed up every night and having the back doors open and having a siesta in the sunshine. A few pictures to show what we have done.
