This is a review of the RIB Altair campervan bed that we install as standard into our campervan conversions. This bed is 1120mm wide and has Isofix points, armrests, headrests and 3d overlay comfort foam.
Thanks for vid, really helpful. Been looking at various suppliers' websites for spec and to get an idea of how it looks in different positions, you've explained and demonstrated it all really clearly. Thank you :)
important question for science: when it's in the position its in at 1:51 (or 1:56), can you also slide it back? basically creating a chaiselongue while keeping more space inside the van? not sure if that question makes sense, sorry. It's just that if you could slide it back, and also fold the foot end (on the video the bit on the right) down beyond the horizontal, then you could make a sort of sofabed without having to change the sheets or do too much folding.
Thanks for the video and information. We're just buying a van and having this bed fitted but I have a question that I'm sure somebody will be able to help me out with. Can you sleep with your head at either end or does it make a difference? I know that this may sound daft to most of you, but as we're new to this, we just wondered? Thanks and please be kind.
I've got the same Rib Altaire bed, professionally fitted in my van, with no arm rests. The cushioning on the seat on one side seems to be separating inside, into what looks like two cushions, now sliding over each other under the outer material. It now looks stepped inside. Not pleased, considering how expensive it was.
Is there any reason these couldn't be installed as driver's seats (as long as handbrake was located in the front dash)? Seems like it would be a good way to maximise use of the dead space created by the front driver's seats.
You wouldn't be able to fold it down completely flat if it was in the front cab, it would hit the dash very quickly. The Altair is designed to save space at the back of a van which is why it slides forwards before folding out so it's compact when stowed but still a full bed when unfolded. Considering how much an Altair costs you could buy a poptop with a roof bed for about the same price, if you're concerned about interior space.
I wanted to know the same thing, it seems a weak point as when the bed is down you would have to shuffle down to the foot end to get up, it doesn't look like it would take the weight of an adult.
Hello, I like the recline chair uploaded in your RU-vid video. I want to know about the size and specifications of the chair. If possible, I want to make an income. I want to know the details. want
