VW
Camper Bed
We wanted to make bunk beds for our 3 & 4 year olds boy/girl sharing a room, bunk beds to save space, we saw this on Google and thought we could do that, so we did, on a budget of £80, my husband is a kitchen fitter by trade, so we had the use of his power tools, there was no plan. He just used measurements to suit the size of the bed. A frame was made using 38 mm prepared soft woods. The dash board and roof lip was made from 150mm floorboard pine. Shaped with a jigsaw and electric plane. The side was made from 6mm mdf as it doesn't give splinters when climbing in the door. And the front was made from 4mm ply as it allows the bend , basically just made our own template, the roof rack was made from 2 shoe racks nailed & glued onto frame, we sent off for VW badge from Amazon, the lights were battery push in and off lights from B&M for £2, the wheels were made from big plastic plates sprayed black with white painted inner ( had them in the cupboard) and mirrors were brought from B&M for the centres, we then used Valspar tester pots for the colours, and frog tape to get the lines.
