| Man this is an old thread...but I'm glad to have stumbled upon it. I hope that the kits are still being made. I PM Steve for one of his kits other wise I will make my own. |

| Did u ever pull together a kit for sale of this topic? I want to get a westy, but have a 4 and 6 year old so the single cot won't do. If this is available then I can expand my search to pre 74 westies. |

Has there been any update to the guy that was going to make these as kits? I still have interest in a continental bed for my early westy and I am not yet confident in my woodworking skills.

Hi,
thanks a lot for this thread. I got a 1970 Westfalia and want to get a continental bed in there. Besides VW Evolution, which do not seem to exist anymore, is there anyone selling any kit anymore? I'd be keen to buy one. |

The VWEvolution link above still seems to work. The website is super messy. Use the navigation links on the right side ad do a lot of scrolling to see everything.

I had no idea this even existed!
I want to do this on my bus, does anyone have experience with the NLA kit or can recommend another kit? |

I also want to do this!
I can't get the NLA since I live in NA and the shipping is horribly expensive, I mean I could but I'm gonna explore other options. Does anyone know of any NA manufacturers of a similar kit?

I know ordering hardware is easy and saves time. But this thread is about making your own, no? All the information to make one is here on these pages.

So as I recall it was this guy or another that made their own. Probably this guy. Shit who knows. Looks pretty simple to manage. Ill STFU now. Carry on.

It does look simple enough tbh! I'll probably end up making my own since I can't find one, I'll post pics if I do

| It definitely would be cool to have but I will probably make my own too. I think I could make some simpler that worked better. |
