A bedroom that moves out of the way

One van. Two usable spaces.

Raise the bed overhead to recover the floor for seating, cargo, dining or work. Lower it when it is time to sleep, then pull the two yellow handles to extend the frame from 63 to 77 inches.

Manual horizontal extension

Compact by day. Full length by night.

The frame retracts to 63 × 55 inches, then expands to 77 × 55 inches for sleeping. Pull the two yellow handles to deploy it; press the release and push inward to retract. The mechanism locks automatically.

The current manual-extension design saves approximately 10 lb compared with the earlier powered-extension arrangement.

Torque-sensing control

The system detects resistance and automatically stops the lift.

Finished felt underside

Automotive-grade, moisture- and mold-resistant felt creates a clean visible ceiling surface.

Installation planning

Questions to answer before ordering.

How much vertical space does the frame use?

The frame is approximately 80 mm, or 3.1 inches, before the slats and mattress.

Where should the guide rails be installed?

Guide rails work best near vertical cabinetry or shower walls. Some layouts may support the bed on properly engineered cabinetry.

What happens if electrical power is unavailable?

Each lift motor includes an emergency manual release accessible from above or below the bed.

Can bedding remain on the platform?

The bed can lift with its mattress, bedding and secured soft items. Confirm ceiling clearance and secure cargo before operating.

Does it fit every van automatically?

No. Confirm vehicle dimensions, mounting structure, wall geometry, travel clearance and installation requirements for your exact build.

Is professional installation recommended?

Yes. The mounting structure and lift alignment are safety-critical parts of the installation.
