Reimo T3 elevated bench/ bed - How high is it?

[Steve M.]

Okay, finally getting around to installing my Reimo cabinets.
I did not buy the elevated bed so the rear closet sits on top of the bed and now I need to make a sub-frame to sit the closet on to clear the engine hatch and match the forward closet.

I need the height dimension of the elevated bed that goes over the engine hatch. Does anyone know what the height is?
Thanks in advance.

I have 2 friends with Reimo beds. They are at different height.

One van is here so I went out and measured it at 5.5" above engine lid.

The other is in the Yukon and he is waiting for back surgery..might be harder to get an exact number..
but from memory I'd say 12 to 15 inches. hth

Thank you for that quick answer.

I think I might be able to get the dimension from the forward closet, but that closet kit is buried under a ton of stuff!

Iirc. Reimo uses simply Baywindow hinges on the lower model and Busdepot sells these hinges new.

Björn has the hinges for less $ than bus depot, even with tons of shipping costs from Canada.

I just ordered a set for my raised deck lid. Looking forward to a simpler bed set up than I currently have. They are in transit so I don’t have measurements yet.

The floor in the Vanagon dictates how high the closets will be above the engine deck so now that that is back in I can figure out the height above the deck.

Just measuring now it looks to be 6-13/16" or 17.4cm.
That will mean a good size drawer under the rear closet!
