Yesterday our C2 full size dual chamber Sleep Number Mattress arrived via UPS. Since we had already assembled on of these babies, the set up went quite quickly. Once assembled and inflated we noticed two "small" challenges
Now what?
1. A visit to the store "those are never included - who told you that" resulted in "free" tubes along with additional endcaps. However, those extension tubes do NOT have a valve that allow you to disconnect the pump while sleeping. So, back to the drawing board with finding some sort of valve that will do the job 2. We stuffed a folded towel between the window and the mattress as a temporary fix. Stay tuned for the work arounds for our two challeges. Meanwhile, we plan to take a small overnight to test the bed. Oh, and until the cabinets arrive, we're using climbing rope to keep the bed attached to the frame while driving. I've been assured that said ropes will be remove for sleeping.

I told my wife I found the Holy Grail. We just purchased a 2016 Passenger Van and I have been trying to figure out a bed platform using the tie down locations and the bolt for the 4 seat seatbelt. Exactly what you have done. Looks great. Any advise on what type of framing you used to make sure I get something strong enough to hold a few hundred pounds?

I'm happy to share information about particulars. We did indeed install swivel seats and they work great! More information tomorrow

Would a Electric supplier be the best place to purchase C-channel?
