Cabbunk?

Update

Following a successful trial on a weekend away in Wales in June of a DIY bodge using the extra cushions required for our front fold out double bed to make a cab bed. We decided to pull the trigger on ordering the twin bunk version of the Cabbunk before our trip to France in July. I must say it's brilliant, had no issues for the three weeks we were away I even think the kids slept better than when we had the two of them sharing the fixed double bed in the rear of the van. They even slept through a Bastille day firework display that we didn't realise was going to happen in the park beside our van.

It's really quick to set up too. Below is a pic of the Cabbunk set up. I made up a couple of small pairs of curtains on wires that I clipped in place for both the top and bottom bunk after they were set up combined with a wrap around the front windows the kids were really snug in there and we could still use the dinette seat, table and kitchen and side door while they slept. we used two sets of curtains as then we could put the 3 year old to bed while the 6 year old got to stay up a little longer sitting/ lying in their bed talking to us.

It has also meant that we could leave the extra cushions, memory foam and other items we had to set up the front bed at home saving a lot of space. Usually we would store this on the fixed bed in the rear during the day. Now with the extra space the kids can use the rear bed as a play area on those bad days. And no more setting up the front bed each night which is alot more time consuming than the cabbunk. It also means herself can sneak off to bed earlier if she wants and not have to wait for the bed to set up.
