How do you propose the mattress to operate? Will the three sections somehow be attached to each other? If not, what will hold the section at the door end in place to stop it falling down the back? Extremely nice job by the way.

Hi, Yes the foam is cut into 3 sections and in the MKII R&R bed I put a thin shelf on the bottom of the back section for the foam to sit on while the bed is in the seating position.......seems to work well. Thanks.

Dave, you’re a legend mate. Just wanted to ask a question about your gas setup - is there a reason you haven’t got a dropout or anything?
@dave-watson
@dave-watson 10 күн бұрын
Many thanks....Fr the gas drop out you also need a sealed box to put the gas bottle in and as this is more of a day van the bottle would be switched off most of the time.

Hi, I connected the main cables to the starter battery and I connected the ignition cable to a fuse in the fusebox which went live when the van is running. I used a thing called a piggyback fuse holder. Hope that helps.

On another note, it is wonderful to hear a voice from my old neck of the woods that is calm, caring and from a good heart. I now live in Devon (30 years) and your voice is a good reminder of the beauty of the North East. Thanks Dave :)
