I'm just about to consign my beloved Areobed to the skip as it's well and truly dead but I don't like the replacements raised models they have now so I'm looking at the Outwell Posadas double camp bed with a 10 - 15cm sim, does anyone have any experience of this type of set up and is it stable on ground which isn't flat?
TIA

Rather than a heavy, bulky campbed, have a look at the Quecha bed bases from Decathlon. They clip together to form a double, and with a decent SIM on top they are ridiculously comfortable! We top ours with the outwell dreamcatcher sim, the two together is better than my bed indoors. As a plus, they pack up small which I don’t think camp beds do.

Well, thanks to this thread I've just purchased, finally, a Decathlon bed base. They had one up in store to try, with a Megamat-stlye SIM on top. It felt soooooo good, I'd have napped there and then if it were not for the stray customers coming in to spoil my serenity.
Wish I'd bought them (only one today) when I first came across them in 2018 or so. Almost half the price then!
Anyway, sneaked it in pasat the OH ready for my trip this week with a friend - camping in her mum's (rather large) garden. I feel like a child again. Her OH has Parkinson's and she can't leave him overnight so I'm taking the camping fun to her as she's visiting mum who has a live-in carer, so they'll keep an eye on her OH as we go wild in the country.
Mine is a 'plain' one, not the newer version with lift-up slats to access under bed storage. Quite frankly, that's a lot of money extra for saving a bit of time. Put the bag beneath after inflating, then just reach through to get out what you need if clothes. Not exactly a bother. Yes, one has to move the SIM but it's not really a problem.

Do campers 'peg it'?

We've had the Quechua double set for some years ... have just replaced the top mattress with their new, sort of drop stitch, self inflating, one ... absolutely brilliant!
