I don't understand why there is no mention of sighting the front securing bolts? Possibly the most difficult and variable part of the job

Hi! I’ve binge watched all of your videos like a Netflix box set ahead of beginning myself. I have one question though... You didn’t say what the tube that you mentioned at the start was for? Thanks for sharing the bow of what you do!

@TOTALLYRELAXED 3 года назад

Great install! This type bed could possibly be an answer for Class B conversion vans like the Promaster when a lot of storage isn’t needed under the bed. Hmmm, giving me thoughts! I just wonder how comfortable this bed is versus the four inch memory foam mattresses. Great video! Stay safe! Waving from the USA!

@aaronmorgan6068 3 года назад

Do you have to mount the cross member at the spare wheel base or can you move it farther forward so that the seat will be close to the front of the van? Really helpful video

@michalszymanski991 4 года назад

Good wok guys! I have 2 questions. 1. Do you need to have the new seats certified in order to make them legal? 2. Do you need to let dvla know and update the v5c to reflect the correct no of seats in the vehicle?

@urbanarkoverland 4 года назад

Great vid pal. Are these rib beds comfy to sleep on..the cushions look really good in seat mode. But then bed mode is on the backs of the cushion. Is it not a bit hard 🧐

@marinespirit10 3 года назад

Great video, I'm fitting the exact same seat to a LWB T6. Can the seat be fitted after the furniture/wardrobe etc, has been fitted?

@RobertShaw-qq2ve 3 месяца назад

Great, informative video! I'm guessing you can't have a Dodo liner Matt installed if you are fixing any type of M1 Rated Bed/Seat?

@justineknight3580 Год назад

Another good video full of detail , thank you, is there a advantage to a slider frame compared to a fixed ? I thought the lwb suited slider ? Is this the case ? I was going to put a slider in swb but now not sire

@seanmckinleylandscaping6358 3 года назад

Any advice on fitting one of these beds to a transit custom? Thanks in advance 👍

@dotkoi3233 4 года назад

When cutting the cover away with a knife could you not leave it hanging like a tab.. then do what you did but before you bolt up the brace . Slide the tap that you cut under and drill holes in that. Finally seal up the cuts you made with a knife ?? I have a t5 I'm looking at doing this in mine

@crazycouter 4 года назад

How much does it cost for you to fit a rib bed like this please

@ste2529 Год назад

Going to get rib fitted..did you drill through the bracket that is mounted to the chassis or where the holes pre drilled also what about the front fixtures to the bed.would have liked to seen this

Great video love the seat Was wondering if you know of any other seats the same as this that will fit further up the van like where the sliding door is or a rear row of seats in a kombi would normally be?

@willsgetoff1157 4 года назад

Just wondering, having cut out the plastic tub underneath, did you glue the cut piece back, and if not does it affect the rust protection under the van?

@CombeValleyCampers 4 года назад

Hi! The area we cut the plastic is directly above the spare wheel meaning most of it is covered anyway. Also vw are pretty good at undersealing the chassis now

@AdamTheADI 2 года назад

Good morning! Have you guys any advice on whether it's possible to fit a RIB bed to a lowered floor vehicle? I have a van which was previously a mobility vehicle. The floor has been lowered to allow a ramp so I'm not sure how I'd go around fitting this to the underside of the van... Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

@CombeValleyCampers 2 года назад

Hi! It is not something we have dealt with before, however, for the bed to work in its intended purpose (in terms of seatbelt strength etc, I would suggest to reinstate the original floor. Leigh

@CliffordDive 3 года назад

I'm doing this job with a RIB 130 slider on a LWB T6 4Motion right now. Great video, and I think I'm happy about the rear attachments - but what about the front? You seem to have fitted them, but don't mention it. Have you done it on a 4Motion, and if so are there any issues? I've heard a rumour about having to drop the rear diff!!! Also, this morning I spoke to one of the companies making furniture, and they say their furniture works best if the RIB is mounted in a forward position, so that you slide the bed back into for the sleeping position. While I can see some advantages (like more boot space), surely this position isn't compatible with securing to the chassis cross member. Have you attached a RIB in this forward position? Any help appreciated - this is something that would be good to get right first time!

@eddysmiley3564 19 дней назад

@cliffordDive - did you ever get an answer to this? I also want to mount the RIB further forward so it's secured in-front of the cross-member rather than aligned with it - not sure if that makes it unsafe!

@CliffordDive 19 дней назад

@@eddysmiley3564 - it's a while ago now. I did a lot of RU-vid research and the consensus seemed to be that the rear fixing was the more critical one - that's where the forces from the belts go. I've located my sliding RIB so that it's slid as far back as it will go when in sleeping mode. This gives maximum space in the boot and put the extra box section reinforcement under the floor in the right place to attach to the chassis. I then chose "sensible" locations for the front fixings, picked for accessibility and lack of interference with critical parts of the van, and after careful measurement drilled down through the RIB frame. Does all of that make sense?

@kennyboyle700 4 года назад

Would you fit the rock and roll bed before you lay the floor? (lino/contra etc)

@CombeValleyCampers 4 года назад

Hi. Yes we generally lay the ply floor, then 'dry fit' the bed and interior ro save damaging the new floor covering. Then when we are happy the covering goes down and everything mounts on top of that.

@paulconaghan9432 4 года назад

Hi great vid but doesn't the bed need to be fitted straight to the metal floor and not plywood?

@CombeValleyCampers 4 года назад

Hi Paul, did you watch the whole video? We bolted the bed through the floor and structural beams using the fixings provided.

@paulconaghan9432 4 года назад

@@CombeValleyCampers HI yes but did you cut out plywood so runners sit on the metal of the floor or are they sitting 9n the plywood ? Thanks Paul

@paulconaghan9432 4 года назад

Hi did you get my comment ? I want to install a seat in my van and was advised to cut through the plywood and put chair base directly onto metal floor . Seems a bit of a pain though, is that how you did it ? Can't see it on the vid . Thanks in advance keep up the good work! 👍

@CombeValleyCampers 4 года назад

Hi@@paulconaghan9432. The sliding element of the seat is on the frame itself, not the floor. However, when we have installed seats with floor rails, we have removed the floor completely, fitted the seat rails, then re-fitted the seat around the rails. hope that helps, Leigh
