Hay all...I'm still looking for a COMPLETE bunk bed that I can install into my 29.5 ft. stretch. I have a 78 PB that has one and I'm thinking, that this setup is everything I want. The bed folds out and is suspended from the ceiling by the male section of two seat belts...the other side is bolted to the coach wall with brackets.
There has to be a downer out there somewhere...!

Dan, I have one that we WILL be taking out of our 77 Elle later this year. Its in good shape but I won't want to redo the headliner to get the roof brackets. If you don't find one before I get around to pulling it....

Kerry...thanks, I'm interested. It's important for obvious reasons that it be complete with the supporting arms and wall brackets. I am looking for the lower bench as well as without that, the thing is not complete. Would be great to have the roof brackets as well, but I'm think'n I could ether find some elsewhere or make some...lets stay in touch...Dan

We're going to be removing the complete DAVO and replacing it with a built in front twin setup. I've already done the passenger side.

It would be complete except for the ceiling hooks and seatbelts. The engine thing has slowed down my plans but I still want to have it done by Branson this fall.

Yes. I assume there is an internal metal frame they are attached to. It's quite sturdy but I can't imagine how someone would get into it without a ladder....well someone other than a kid anyway.

The bottom bunk sleeps fine.
