Setting
Up the Front Bed in a Roadtrek
This describes how to set up the front bed (or beds)
in Roadtreks that do not require a separate
mattress. These photos are from a
1995 Popular (one front bed) so it may be slightly different in your
Roadtrek. The front bed is rather
short and narrow and is best used by kids or smaller adults.
Step 1: Remove the headrest from the bathroom wall.
Step 2: Slide the seat back upward to remove
from the rail.
Here the
seat back has been removed and you can see the track the bracket slides into.
Step 3: Swivel the front seat to face the
door. You will probably have to tip
the seat back forward and you may have to change the fore/aft seat position to
rotate it.
Step 4: Lift up the seat bottom cushion slightly
at the front (to clear the cleat that keeps it from moving accidentally) and
slide it forward.
Note: Some Roadtreks
have a drawer under the seat base that is pulled forward to support the
cushion.
The
seat bottom should now be snug up against the front seat. You can move the front seat forward or
back on its rails to improve alignment if needed.
Step 5: Now take the seat back and place the
bottom edge against the seat bottom and tip the top back against the wall.
Step 6: Now push down on the top of the seat back,
sliding it down the wall until it rests on the hinged wood block.
