Hi. Some friends are selling an Elddis Accordo 135 3 berth motor home. However the third bed looks very small and am worried my 6 year old granddaughter will fall out. Has anyone had any experience with this?

    Is it the one with the fold out bed that fits across the front seats and the passenger seat?

    Not on the websites I have seen BB. Some 135 models have a peculiar folding table, without legs, that fits across the swivelled seats, and onto the dinette at an angle. If it is this model, I can understand the OP’s apprehension about a six year old using it. I will try and find a photo, as I have never seen an extra bed like this one before.

    Here you go, video showing bed. Quite a drop off one side. If it was me, I would be looking at modifying dinette to make a small bed, perhaps carrying a small purpose made table to extend dinette into corridor, but depends on size of child really.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzvTxEEJd_c

    I had a look too, a strange set up, not particularly a good one either. Some sort of mattress overlay needed to cover the lumps and bumps. I'm sure a child could manage to use it safely but it doesn't look fit for purpose for an adult using it as a bed.

    Just in case the person doing the demo hadn't got a clue what they were doing I feel we might be watching a duff video! Usually the seat back slides down and flattens out with the seat itself, you also have to remove the table first. This usually makes up into a decent single bed even if the front seat is needed.wink

    Yes, we've considered one for our youngest grandson...but as he's now up in the NE holidays with Gran and Grandpa have diminished. They are a good idea. smile

    Had a look at Cabbunk. It’s an old idea updated. Our Suntor A60 van, built in the 1970’s, came with a similar stretcher type bed, that went across the whole length of the van with the pop up roof ‘popped’. We bought the van off my BIL, he toured in it with his wife, and their young daughter, who slept up in the roof. Great idea though across the cab in today’s MH’s for small children.

    This is a link to what we had as a first camper, really tiny, but we loved it. It doesn’t show the bunk, but basically it went up in the roof space. https://heritagemachines.com/restorations/rare-morris-suntor-camper/

    Had a 3rd berth on my previous Marquis(Accordo) 125. I think it probably had a previous life in the Spanish Inquisition as a rack.
