Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack All Components: Carefully unbox all parts and verify against the included parts list. Keep all fixings together.
- Assemble the Frame: Follow the step-by-step instructions provided to assemble the birch plywood frame. Use the included fixings to ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Install Mattress: Place the 8cm high-density sponge mattress onto the bed frame.
- Secure to Van Floor: For safe travel and stability, use the provided fixings to securely fasten the assembled bed to the floor of your camper van. Ensure the mounting points are robust.
Compatibility
This pull-out bed is designed for broad compatibility with various camper van models. Its key feature for compatibility is the large wheel arch cutouts, providing up to 350mm of clearance. This allows the unit to sit comfortably over most standard wheel arches, integrating seamlessly into your van's layout.
Care
- Frame Customization: The birch plywood frame has an unfinished surface. Before extensive use, consider sanding, painting, wrapping, or spraying it to protect the wood and personalize its appearance. Once customized, clean the finished surface with a damp cloth.
- Mattress Cover: The cream linen mattress cover is removable and machine washable. For best results, follow the care instructions on the label, typically a cold wash cycle and air drying.
- General Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the bed frame and storage areas with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the wood or mattress fabric.
- Mechanism Maintenance: Periodically check the pull-out mechanism for smooth operation. Ensure no debris obstructs the glides. Lubricate if necessary with a dry lubricant suitable for furniture runners.
