Rock and Roll bed

[Zebt]

Hi,

Search does not turn up anything, looking for a 3/4 width rock and roll bed supplier.

Thanks

Maybe my search is not working, can't find anything at all on any subject??

JustKampers in Sydney might be worth a try Search Results For: rock n roll bed :: Just Kampers Australia
Otherwise someone who specializes in campervan conversions such as Trakka or Frontline might be able to assist.
They also turn up on ebay if you don't mind second hand.

Also try The Bustop in qld

You could try these people I have worked with them as they supplied my side glasses for our T5.1 they also do loads of van conversions Auto Extras Brisbane | Customised Family Vehicle Modifications - Family Plus these people as well All Van Mod's Auto Extras are next to the Royal Brisbane Hospital / Van mods are at Slacks creek near Ikea . The Bus stop mainly deals with type 2 Kombis not sure if they do T5,s

Thanks all, just got my search working again. Also having a re-think about the van layout etc. Might not go for the R+R bed.
I have just been discussing an elevating roof price with Campervansau.com.au (Discoverer Campervans) in Wollongong. For the front elevating type on a SWB with bed will be close to $10k, a bit pricey but I have been trying to get it done for nearly 2 years but couldn't find anyone who would do it.
I have been in to Frontline a few times as I live nearby but they do not want to discuss anything other than a full conversion or buying a complete van from them, they won't even give advice.
My plan is to get the roof done, install a Eberspacher heater then do some weekend surf trips to see what next. I already fully insulated and carpeted it last year.

Keep in mind front swivelling seat(s) ..... they make a huge difference in making good use of the limited space within a transporter.

I bought one of these combo van 2 seaters. Jay-Cee Automotive - Commercial Van Seats and accessories .Not a perfect solution but what I liked about it was the integrated lap sash seat belts. The seat is fixed with the back rest just folding back or forward. I fold mine back to turn into a bed. If I remember correctly it was about $1,400 and I bolted it to the floor and got it approved. The seat can be removed by taking out two pins or the whole thing can be tilted forward to allow more loading space. From what I can see there are other ones around that are similar. I went this way because I couldn't find one of the converters to just install the seat. This fellow does sell one now that suits the T4/5 but it is full width. AFTERMARKET SEATING

Thanks for the input.

I think I've decided to go without the R+R bed as there will be a bed in the roof, the van goes to Wollongong - Discoverer / Campervans Australia on the weekend to get it's new roof with bed !!!

I now need to decided what I do with the remaining space, I would like to keep the length of the van for my big wave surfboards but would also like to have some sort of seating facing the table to make it a social space.
Any and all ideas are most welcome!

The costs are blowing out as I have decided to build the cabinets myself but need all the woodworking tools, so taking on a new hobby.

If anyone is interested I am selling my drone, it's a hexacopter top spec, with batteries, Gopro 3, Futaba controller etc etc, gets 25 mins plus in the air with a Gopro 3. Also selling my 3 axis DSLR Camera stabilizer rig. Got to fund the van and new hobbies!!!

What do you actually have fitted in the van at this point of time?

[Zebt]

Nothing, just a fold over carpeted ply bed. I have insulated, sound proofed the whole van and put in VanX curtains.

Can you let me know where you got the vanx curtains as they told me they do not ship to Aus.

Thanks Simon
