So I want to make a collapsible bed (frame) for our Berlingo. Thinking of using 8020/t-slow/v-slot aluminium stuff. The general idea if a large rectangle with 6 legs. The longest bars/rods running the length of the van would split into two for easier storage and safety in case of an accident. Either another long cross beam down the middle, or two or three short ones going horizontal across the bed. Then some IKEA slats on top and a futon or camping matresses.
There are a few examples on youtube, but they're all pretty complex with rollers and folding bits and bobs. Anyone come across any simple examples? Or have general thoughts?
