Now for something completely different...
I searched for vanagon toddler beds and only found splitties and bays. Could I possibly be the first?!
Going to put curtains in later today!

tires look fine but I want to know if he has the fire extinguisher
weekender or Multivan interior?
I've been trying to work up plans to build a westy shaped and inspired cottage say in 2.5X's scale
kuddos to the good work.

Faulty logic. It would be a LOT easier and cheaper just to make a bigger version of this bed for yourself.

My exact thoughts.
The first thing I looked for was gas filler location.

The bed looks pretty low inside. How's he supposed to wedge in that turbo motor.

Video! It wasn't the most amazing reveal, he was hungry. He did give us an hour of total quiet play time "in the van" afterwards. He woke up this morning and said "I love it", and "Thank you for building me a van!"
