Greetings!
This is my very first post on this forum, so please bear with me...
I built a camper van a while back but sold it - and have regretted it ever since. I plan to build another one soon and maybe even take the plunge and go full time.
Now, on this build, I'm going to forgo the bed and sleep in a hammock instead.
My thinking behind this decision is that a bed is one of the most expensive and space-consuming parts of a build. And it's only used for a few hours a day, then just sits there, taking up space for the rest of the day.
I understand that it gives people a bunch of storage space underneath, but I feel that there are more efficient ways to build storage than under a bed.
I've been sleeping in a hammock every night because of back problems, so I'm already a "veteran hammock sleeper" - l've also slept a few times in the hammock in my minivan and found it very easy and comfortable. Here are a couple of pics of the setup:
Has anyone else thought about doing this?
I'd really to hear other people's thoughts on this.
I searched the forum for this topic and didn't get any hits, so please excuse me if I somehow missed an existing thread on this.
Peace.
