[A/S] Twins to double

[Stan Nicholson <stan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our '72 Overlander was originally a twin, but the bed area was 
converted by PO to a desk with real file drawers and other storage on 
the streetside, and a pull-out double bed on the curbside. The double 
sure looks like it uses factory hardware (although I don't know if 
it's from the Airstream factory). It makes a couch when slid toward 
the wall, and a double bed when slid out into the aisle. When out all 
the way it leaves only about 8 inches in which to sidle through to 
the bathroom.

The framework is square steel tubing. It sits on the factory base 
with three tambour rollup doors and a sliding plastic storage tub 
behind each.

It did begin to slide out into the "bed" position a little too 
easily, especially when we had lots of stuff on it while traveling, 
or if we were having guests visit soon. For now we're just using a 
steel pin to hold the steel frame in one position, where it makes a 
generous single bed, but still allows easy passage to the bath and 
enough room to use the desk for portions of quilting projects.

If someone needs pictures, let me know.
