BTW, is that 2" or so flat bar attached to the wall on the backside of your uprights (parents bed)?

I would say I definetly overbuilt the beds, but anything worth doing is worth overdoing

Your build is going great! I wish my bed was out of my head and bolted to the wall. Nice job.
What are you doing to keep the mattresses out of and from falling into the pinch zone?

If you can't tell, I like thinking about this kind of stuff. :thinking:
Anyway, here is something to think about. It might not be too difficult to incorporate.

Finally finished painting the beds ( except for ours) and they are going to work great! Also tested out my cargo hatch for the A/c. Fits tight but thats good. New water pump got its test today, Seaflow 40psi 4.5gpm. This puppy has awesome pressure! First trip is Friday night, few small things not done but we will get by.ImageImageImageImageImageImage
