Beds and bunks in the motorhome, bus
 The paneling is ready. I made a template, to cut them out. Making a good template is a key step in fitting panels. |

 The drawers were from the base of the old bed, which I found in the landfill. The lower left one has been cut, to clean the wheel well. The whole thing is screwed and glued with construction glue. |

 Here are the ready-made beds. have dimensions 30 on 75 cali. |
||
 The bed in the master bedroom is similarly constructed from the elements of an old bed. I picked up the rubber floor and fastened the bases of the drawers to the floor and to each other with construction glue and repair tiles. |

 I have cut the mattress frame to size 75″x 54″, the size of a futon mattress, which we will use, and then I filled the spaces with 2x4s and scraps of lumber 3/4 “. The back of the bed is attached to the bolt securing the rear seat with the shipping brackets, which held one of the racks of our Beowulf kit on a pallet. Hm, by "our" I mean the company, which i work for – the bus does not yet have a Beowulf kit. |

 Trimmed the original particle board from the waterbed, to complete the platform. I'm not sure, will I attach it, or just let him sit on the frame. There is a lot of space behind the drawers, which I would also like to have access to. |

 Latex foam mattresses are fairly easy to cut, and the queen is approx 60 inches wide, which is exactly twice as much as each of the children's berths. I cut it in half with a serrated bread knife.Inform friends and family, what you need, and you will be surprised, what will come your way, when you need it!My parents got a new mattress and offered us their old one for the bus. |
||
 The two halves fit perfectly! |

 I cut down another master bedroom door. This time it was a door wide 36 cali, so two cuts were enough, to get width 18 i 1/4 cala. |
