• BED SYSTEM: This expandable elevator bed system is designed for camper van builds where interior space is limited. The platform retracts during the day to open up the living area, then expands into a 77" x 55" sleeping surface at night.

• MOTOR VOLTAGE: The lift system is powered by a 12 V electric motor and operated by switch for raising and lowering the bed. The extension section is manually adjusted, allowing the platform to slide between its retracted and expanded positions. A 2" bi-fold mattress is included and folds with the platform for easier daily use.

• FITMENT: The frame is built from powder coated aluminum with a low profile 3.1" (80 mm) structure, helping preserve headroom when the bed is raised or lowered. The system is compatible with Sprinter, Transit, Promaster, and other van platforms when installed with proper structural support.

• REMOTE CONTROL: This model does not come with a remote.

• INSTALLATION: The current build has the control switch mounted intergrated on the underside of the bed frame. Depending on your interior layout, this switch location may interfere with cabinets, support platforms, or other structures installed below the bed.

• INSTALLATION: The mounting brackets must be installed level from side to side.

• INSTALLATION: If one side is mounted higher than the other, the bed can tilt during travel and place excessive strain on the lifting system, frame, and mounting points.

• BED SYSTEM: The hanging belts are designed to support the bed frame only. They are not designed to support the weight of sleepers.

• BED SYSTEM: The bed must be lowered onto a secondary support platform, such as cabinets or structural supports, before being used for sleeping.

• BED SYSTEM: For safety reasons, we do not recommend having someone sleep below the elevator bed.
