Hi All,

Haven't posted on here for some time but we are part exchanging our caravan for a motorhome on Wednesday of next week, and maiden voyage at the weekend - whoohoooo!

We have an 18 month old son who had a travel cot in the caravan, but we're thinking that in the MH he should sleep in the luton over the cab. There is a safety net, but how can we make him feel like he's in a bed and keep covered up? I've seen some inflatable toddler beds with covers and pillows builtin, any experience of these? Any good?

What other tips should we know about, regarding our toddler or otherwise because we're experienced caravanners but wondering if the world of MH'ing might be different?!

Thanks in advance!

I don't think you should look at it in a different way to being in the caravan. Would you feel happy with him being in the overcab bed at such a young age ? how good is the safety net etc

The safety net in our  MH is only about 4-6inches high to stop you rolling out, leaving a very large gap above.  I would not be happy with my grandchildren (aged 21 months and 3 years) in the overcab unless there was an adult sleeping on the outside edge.  Otherwise you may be able to devise a method of netting the whole of the overcab opening.
