Hi everyone, we have brought our first caravan a Bailey Ranger 550/6. Wr have a 8 month old and wanted to get an idea of how I can create a safe space for her to sleep.

The caravan has fixed bunks so my thinking is she can go on the bottom bunk with one of these http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1428744-10294381?url=http://www.argos.co.uk/product/3072176?cmpid=GS001%7D&_$ja=tsid:59130%7Cacid:289-1........

But not sure if it would fit (will of course measure when we get the van before buying) or if there is a better way of doing it?

I think your baby will quickly outgrow that.
Long term you will need something more solid. I think I’ve seen someone hang a wooden cot side from the top bunk.

As you have a secondary dining area I'd consider a standard travel cot if you can find one that fits in the space once the table is removed.

We took ours to a static last year and for the cost, it's simple and safe and makes a good play pen up to the age of 3 while you have your hands full. You can even use it at home... it currently lives in our bathroom so the little one can play safe while I take a shower.

Some examples here

Ours is similar to the Red Kite but was actually donated by a friend who had finished with it.
