Early bay Continental upper bed. How do you get up there?

Probably this one:

I have no issues with building the kit or anything like that, but how would my kids get up there?

With the early bay hinges being up front and the sling bed off to the passenger side you can use the jump seat as a ladder to easily get up and down.

With these kits it seems like the only opening to get up there is directly over the floor. Since my kids arent 9ft tall, how would they get up there?

Anyone have a setup like this that can share any tips?

Wow, that is pretty wild. Sounds like a good concept that didn't get much R&D effort put into it.

I guess you could always climb in thru the flap from the luggage rack...

Looks like to me that little panel isn't bolted down so it can be removed, leaving room to climb up in there. Then you could put the panel back down to make a full sized bed

They sort of skipped over a few crucial parts on that kit, the real deal has a split front section that either side can be folded up on. To get in climb up the jumpseat or sink just like you do for the cot.
