Thread: Pop top and elevated bed

Hi,
At about the 2 minute spot in the video shows the lift up beds in the Innovan.

This is what we have, and are very happy with it .
May inspire some ideas to suit your set up .

Cheers

Might be worth a look

Check out Dan Grec from the road chose me, he is currently building something like that. I am going to start on mine in a few weeks as well and I am still bouncing around some ideas though I will have the wedge pop-top. I think with a full pop you either need to push the bed up from below or pull it up, hanging from the roof somehow.

Cheers,

I was thinking maybe hanging it from the roof with some of those airbags that lift it. I’ve seen some with gas struts.

All good ideas and info. Thanks.

JT, one thing I've done with all these types of beds is put a sheet of thin, silver, roofing insulation (Like used in sheds) under the mattress. It will stop any rising air chilling the underside of the mattress. It makes a difference, even with a rooftop tent.

Thanks, Steve.

Anyone had any experience with these?

The assembling could provoke some nocturnal mirth from adjacent sites if endeavoring to erect these things at mid night after a late arrival on site.
