Bed arrangement for a motorhome and campervan

Abstract

Bed arrangement for a motorhome characterized by the fact that a sleeping surface is arranged diagonally in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a motorhome with a side sliding door in which a diagonal bed can be installed in such a way that access to and use of the sliding door is retained. In motorhomes, particularly in short panel vans, the advantages of compactness in terms of everyday suitability and maneuverability are offset by the disadvantage of limited space, so that transverse beds are preferably used as comparatively narrow double beds in the rear of the motorhome. These motorhomes are usually designed for two people. State-of-the-art options for expanding the sleeping space include fold-down beds, beds in pop-up roofs, or other emergency beds. These are either complex and expensive and can only be reached with difficulty and effort via a ladder, or they block access to the motorhome's sliding door.The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art solutions and thereby create greater user-friendliness. This object is achieved according to claims 1 to 10 in that a sleeping area is arranged diagonally in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The rotating driver and front passenger seats of the motorhome are aligned in a vehicle-specific manner so that the driver's seat faces backwards and inwards and the front passenger seat faces forwards and inwards. The sleeping area consists of a support which rests on the seating surfaces of a bench seat, the driver's seat and the front passenger seat, as well as a mattress lying on top of it. This arrangement creates a diagonal sleeping area and access to the sliding door is maintained. Vehicle-specific foam wedges are used to accommodate the support to compensate for the height or to straighten the seating surfaces.The mattress topper can be a solid piece and / or foldable, collapsible, dismantled, rollable, or nestable. The mattress topper is supported on the side closest to the motorhome's sliding door by a support leg, preferably the support leg of the dinette table. The mattress can be a single piece, multi-piece, or folding mattress. The sleeping area extends from the corner between the backrest of a bench seat and a left side wall of the motorhome to the corner between the motorhome's dashboard on the passenger side and the passenger door. The outer dimensions of the topper and mattress are adapted to the vehicle-specific contours to maximize the sleeping area. The length of the topper and mattress can be adjusted so that they can be laid across the rear bed when not in use.For tall users, the support and mattress can be made longer to the corner between the dashboard and the passenger door and / or to the corner between a backrest and a left side wall or extended by additional padding.

[0002] The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 like Fig. 1 but with the mattress (15) of the diagonal bed placed on top. Fig. 3 Floor plan of a motorhome with mattress (15) resting on the transverse bed (1) in the rear when the diagonal bed is not in use. Fig. 4 like Fig. 1, however, with the longer mattress (16) of the diagonal bed placed on top. It should be noted that in this variant, the support (14) is also longer.
