First time owning a campervan.

[Dawney09]

Afternoon everyone, my hubby and me are first time campervan owners, we've wanted one for quite a while now and yesterday we became proud owners of a beautiful new to us VW transporter t6. Not completely kitted out as my hubby likes to go fishing so our layout in the van is perfect for our needs. I do have one question though if anyone can help please? Once the rock and roll bed is down we have a gap between the top of the bed and the rear doors, how do you stop pillows falling off when sleeping? I tend to sleep with one arm under my pillow so I know I'm going to end up pushing it off myself whilst sleeping. Any advice would be greatful, Tia

Thanks for the reply, we have a lwb so begging the driver and passenger seats is loads of room even when our bad is down, it's just the gap between bed and rear doors is also about a foot gap, unless I can find something to put in between we're gonna be waking up with pillows on the floor.

Stitch some ribbon to the pillow covers and tie to the bed or Velcro?

That might work, failing that I have thought about putting the fitted sheet over them as well, will have a play and see what works best. Ty

Hi what I did was got 2 cushions made up to match my leather seats and when the bed is down i slide them down that gap at the rear doors.
Then I pull the mattress/topper right up to the back doors.
You can get cushions made to size from Lusso campers on eBay
I also got one made for the top of my toilet. Then made a skirt for it so it’s a potty poofy now

I find a pair of shoes sitting at the bottom of the gap so the cushions sit on them gives them the perfect height
