we are heading off around oz in about 6 months and have a kimberely kamper. for the 1 night stops the kids (4&7) will sleep on the floor of the camper. they currently use a double mattress out of a swag to sleep on. we are looking for some kids stretcher beds that fold up small and are good quality. we have looked at all the the common places like BCF, rays outdoors etc......but dont seem to be able to find anything worthwhile. Does anyone know of any stretchers worth looking at?

Air matresses stored on main bed. Stretchers stored in walk way or beside matress on bed base

Craig.....that would be awesome mate. no rush....in your own time. How big are they???? might be able to post em up?
Probably cost more to post than what they are worth. We got them about 4 years ago and i think they only cost about $150. Then it was about 30mins work with a hacksaw and a drill and all done.
We used some cheap yoga mats on top of them for both kids. Longest they spent on them was every night for 5 weeks, but there were no complaints. They packed up on top of the KK's bed and it all folded up nicely. That includes a pillow top on top of our mattress and the Qwik awning left attached as well

Here is a thread that I got the idea from. It shows you were the screws need to go. http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=27881.0 (http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=27881.0)

Yep, similar to what i did, but i went one step further do that they can come apart and we can have the one bed option.......but the concept works really well

Another tick for the folding bunk beds. Stole the idea from the above myswagger and works a treat with the two kids and folds flat on our main bed for staorage. Self inflating mattress on top for comfort. Takes 1 minute to setup.
That's alright I stole the idea from someone else😜
