Sleeping Solutions for Travelling With Children

The affordability of converting and combining your everyday vehicle with a recreational vehicle has become increasingly popular.  More and more families are going back to basics for their holiday breaks and turning to camping, realising it is an ideal choice if you have a young family. Even a few hours in your van on the weekend and you could be in a different world.
You can stop where and when you want and carry all their essentials onboard, there really is nothing more exciting for children than the freedom of being outdoors.

But how can your van conversion accommodate 2 children and 2 adults without the expense of adding an elevating roof? 


Maybe your van has been ideal for you and your partner up until the point where children came along!
With this thought in mind we came up with some simple sleeping solutions to help you achieve your dream van without going over budget.


Adding an elevating roof is a great asset to maximise your internal space and provide additional berths, but it does come at a cost and maybe, at this point, not in your budget.
Most families preferred option is the Long Wheel Base van just for the convenience of additional storage and living space.
As you can see from the picture above we have adapted our conventional conversion slightly to accommodate a child’s bed behind the cab seats  giving the space for a child to sleep up to the age of approx 6yrs. We can also incorporate a removable safety rail at the side for smaller children. All covers are removable which is a must have for small children and underneath the bed is a storage facility. 


At night time, the cab space is unutilized and is a wasted space, but with the addition of our quick assembly cab bed, another berth is created instantly. This can sleep a child, but will hold the weight of up to 13st.
So rest assured there are answers to accommodating the whole family within your campervan and you can enjoy your vacations comfortably.
