camp cot/bunk bed modification

Dereco

I have been thinking about something like pictured here, from another trailer manufacturer (Bean Trailers). I have written them and awaiting a response, but wondering if anyone in the Tab community has modified a similar cot/bunk for their Tab. See Childrens Bunk in the list of options on this website. 

Thanks!

There was this thread a few years back.  (2014!).  There is a link to Facebook threads on "bunk beds" in the Tab Group there, but a quick look showed basically the same sort of idea, and not much detail.  This thread has pictures and descriptions, etc.

Yes, thanks. I had seen that thread, similar concept but a little different in terms of execution. Looking forward to additional feedback.

That Bean design is brilliant!  It seems it could be easily adapted to a T@B.  Nice find.  Good luck finding what works for you.

Also, Taxa Outdoors has a pipe cot berth for children, see 12:20 on the “Video Walk Around” on the Cricket model: https://taxaoutdoors.com/habitats/cricket/

Quick update, I heard back from someone at Bean trailers (great response time for a generic inquiry on a weekend), and they said the system is their own in-house. So any off the shelf version will be subject to trial and error, or buy the Bean version if it fits.

Another quick update, this is the kind of thing I am thinking of, across the back of the T@b. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9ArgHs2RGU

You need something solid in the trailer sides to attach the pipe berth brackets to.   Adding this to a TaB would require some type of support board that spans the aluminum frame members in the TaB side walls.
