Aftermarket bed installation kits launched by Project 2000

Motorhome accessory manufacturer Project 2000 has developed a range of kits for aftermarket bed installation, meaning campervan and motorhome owners can now install a variable-height bed with the comfort of a wooden slatted base in their vehicle.

Thanks to the electric motion system, the bed can be raised to the ceiling when not in use, freeing up valuable living space in the motorhome, and lowered again to make it easily accessible when required. 

The Project 2000 Smart Bed range is made of up three kit types:

• Smart electric bed — a mechanical kit including motor unit, adaptable to standard measurements up to a maximum of 2000 mm × 1600 mm. Each lifting kit includes guides, shafts, fixing plates and belts (length up to 4000 mm). The kit is also supplied with a crank so it can also be used manually in the event of emergency
• Smart frame — a kit for customising the bed frame too. Four aluminium profiles are offered for cutting to size, a kit of standard wooden slats and slat holders. Purchasing this kit alone also makes it possible to create a custom static bed frame, adapting it to the spaces available in your vehicle
• Smart accessories — a kit containing brackets designed for fixing the bed frame to the lifting system.

Combining all three available Smart Bed kits gives you a complete solution obtaining a finished bed, completely customised and with the comfort of a wooden slatted base. The new Smart Bed kits are said to be simple and quick to install, with Project 2000 claiming that full installation can be completed in around 16 hours, though the company does suggest using a specialist installer.
