THE BASIC BUNK GUIDE

Unsure if the Frontier Futon is right for your home on wheels? Need some help figuring out sizing, dimensions, or other fitting considerations? We’re here to help!

  • Dimensions

    Our Basic Bunk comes in 5′, 5.5′, and 6′ lengths, so it can fit in a wide variety of vehicles and sleep humans of all sizes! These single sleeper platforms are 23” wide, which makes them ideal for all kinds of one-person camping mattresses. You’ll want to consider the size of your vehicle and the length of your body when making this decision

  • Clearance

    The normal Basic Bunk is 9.5” tall and offers 6.5” of clearance from the ground to the bottom of the bed platform, and the tall Basic Bunk is 17” tall and offers 14” of clearance. With regard to the height, you’ll want to consider headroom (don’t forget to measure the mattress), and when it comes to clearance, you’ll want to keep storage and your vehicle’s wheel wells in mind.

  • Adjustability & Storage

    Uneven surface in your vehicle? No problem! Our leveler legs make adjustments easy. Attaching to every leg of the Basic Bunk, the Leveler Legs give you up to 2″ of adjustment on all points of contact. Storage is also a piece of cake. The Basic Bunk comes apart in two sections (2.5′ or 3′ depending on the version) for easy storage and adjustment when not camping.

I love my new Basic Bunk! It was easy to put together and is good, solid quality. It's perfect for my Ram Promaster City. Low enough so that my head doesn't hit the ceiling of the van while sitting on the bed (4" mattress) and high enough for decent storage underneath. Sleeps like a real bed and I still have space to walk in the van. I wanted to make my own but didn't have the necessary tools. Glad I stumbled on this site. Great purchase for my van trips. Steve was very quick to respond to my messages to him.

This bunk is so great, I actually use it as an extra bench in my Ford E-series conversion and it has doubled as my guest bed a couple of times as well. Super quick assembly only took a screwdriver and took me less than an hour! Shipping was fast and the Camp N Car team answered all of my questions quickly as well. No complaints!

100% The customer service before and after I purchased my 5 ft, tall basic bunk was terrific. I had novice questions, and some specific needs, and my emails were answered promptly and completely. Thanks!
The kit arrived when it was promised and was packaged so that everything was protected, had all the parts, was easy to unwrap, and was easy to assemble. The instructions were easy to use. I assembled it on the living room floor, by myself, with a small electric screwdriver. I easily carried it out to the van (Nissan NV200 SV cargo van).
The bunk (and large van shelf) fit in several different orientations. I easily found the perfect arrangement for me. The tall bunk allows me to store milk crates full of stuff under it. I can still sit up straight in bed without banging my head on the ceiling.
The fit and finish of the bunk are perfect and beautiful. My woodworking friends were totally impressed with the joins, the construction, and the quality of the wood. I have used it for 5 months. It is sturdy and does not squeak or rattle.
My previous DIY build cost me almost as much as the CampnCar kits when you include the cost of power tools, primer, paint, and my time (lots of time) and was nowhere near as beautiful and functional.
