I know this is an older thread, but I looked at it when we were buying our caravan, so I Just thought I'd share what we did, it might give someone else an idea...
Day 1 we collected caravan and took it straight to a campsite, armed only with a bed guard and a vague notion of creating a good sleeping area for Thing 1(3yrs) and Thing 2 (10m). Because of the shapes of the cushions in the rear dinette limiting how and where the guard could sit, we ended up with one bed across the back of the caravan for the baby, with guard rail separating him from his sister, who had a slightly cramped bed running down the side of the van. All night we stressed and worried about the baby crawling over the guard and dropping over onto the floor, so each night he wound up sleeping with one or the other of us in the singles at the front. It was exhausting.
So, Monday morning I took a few measurements, then headed off to Ikea for their cheapest cot and a mattress (sniglar, if you are wondering). Husband after work unscrewed a small lift-top cupboard that ran between the dinette seats and bathroom wall, assembled cot, cut legs off it, and created two new longer legs. Cot is now situated on top of the seating area, with new longer legs on the front and rear corner adjacent to the bathroom, where the cupboard was. should make more sense when you see the picture.
The existing bed cushions fit snugly down the side of the cot to create a comfortable full length single (I can happily lay and imagine snoozing in it). So, now both kids have a larger bed than before, and both are much safer, and us parents will actually be able to relax come bed time!
Woo, 15th time the charm for this image! ;-)
