The RIB bed in all sizes and options has been fully M1 pull tested when installed with a certified Installation beam that is secured to the main longitudinal chassis rails under the vehicle.
The ingenious and unique patented RIB design and operating mechanism means that the seat cushion can be properly contoured on top for sitting with a perfectly flat underside that becomes the sleeping surface
The ingenious and unique patented RIB design and operating mechanism also means that the seat front and rear cushions can be inclined in any position when in bed configuration to become a comfortable recliner.
All RIB beds can be specified with approved isofix fittings to enable the standardised and easy fitment of child safety seats
You can specify either a fixed or sliding frame. The sliding option means that the base is fixed further back giving an extra 200mm of living area length compared with the fixed frame option and other manufacturer’s beds. Thats half of the increased living area space afforded by the LWB version of the T5/T6….
The design allows for a generous under seat bed volume enabling a range of bed board & sliding drawer furniture options.
The infinite adjustment of the rear cushion means that it can be stored in an upright position, giving full height storage compared with a conventional A frame design rock’n’roll bed that has a permanent seat facing the rear.
For the comfort of the taller occupant when in bed configuration, a longer rear cushion can be specified (an option not normally available with a conventional rock ‘n’ roll seat bed).
The RIB bed in either 112cm 2 seat or 150cm 3 seat can be specified with a mounting that fits the oem VW California/Caravelle/Multivan floor rails to give the ultimate layout flexibility.
