In order to get the bed to fit into the van, we needed to cut a hole in the back. First we removed the wheel covering to reveal the steel and minimize the size of the cut. An old box was used to create a template for the cut Jigsaw in hand, we began cuts in both the back of the stationary bed as well as the back of the rolling bed. Oops, a challenge. The brace that supports the mattress interferes with the cut. So, we'll need to raise the beds by 1/2".
Now, it only remains to figure out how to secure things to the floor. Because we chose a passenger van, there are only two ways to attach things
We plan to use the bolt to attach the top of the bed as well as the D-ring to attach the front. Oops, using the D-rings would require cord that runs along the back of the bed and so we lose another inch. It's not looking good

AuthorWe're a Connecticut couple that retired early so we can see our kids, grandkids and the world. We purchased a 2015 144" High Roof Sprinter Passenger Van and we're converting it ourselves into a camper. Archives
