Building a double bed (above two singles)

[sarahcurtin]

Hello all

My first post on this fantastically useful website 🙂

We have just purchased a converted Ford Transit 1997 LWB (high roof). Two kiwis – soon to be headed off from London on our European summer travels, very excited!

It has two single beds fixed to the floor of the van (you can see in pic attached). At times, we are going to have up to four people living in it, and thus need to build a double bed above the two singles (there is plenty of height for it).

We are not sure on the logistics of this and really want to ensure that whatever is built is very safe and steady. Unsure on attaching frames to the side of the van – and where support would be needed to ensure safety.

Ideally we are looking for someone to help us build this.

Does anyone have any useful thoughts or recommendations?

Your help would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks
Sarah
