Hanging Bed Project

I'm working on a design for a "hanging" bed for the NV. More later.

Something like this:

 

I'm planning to use plastic coated cable to hang the bed. The idea is that it will be raise-able when not in use so that more space is available for living and storage underneath.

I plan to use rubber wrapped steel cable to suspend the bed from the roof and build a wood platform for the bed itself that attaches at the sides to four cables that come down. I want to be able to easily raise the bed up to the roof when it is not in use and when traveling so that we have a lot of room underneath during the day..

I plant to put up some photos as I get going on it. I've got a big website project that is tying me up right now but I should get some time in the next few weeks to get on this project. I want to be ready to go by April!

Roadtrek Motorhomes Inc. introduced the N6-Active

"The N6-Active is a game changer. An SUV with a refrigerator, sink, microwave and exterior shower. A minivan that can tow 9,000 lbs. An SUV that gets up to 18 MPG. A people hauler that you wouldn’t be embarrassed to drive. An RV you can drive everyday. It’s a great alternative to a large SUV, crossover or minivan for an active family."

"The N6 is built on the new Nissan NV 2500 series van. At 20' 1" long, it’s based on the same platform as Nissan’s Titan full-size pickup truck. With more legroom, elbow room and headroom than an SUV or minivan, it has more than enough space for 7 people including an easy to access 3rd row that is actually big enough for 2 adults or 3 children."
