Camp Beds

Do you mean you're going to put the swag on a campbed?

I don't like campbeds - unless you have a thick mattress between you and the campbed you'll get cold from underneath. Having tried just about every camp sleeping device know to man I would recommend a 100mm thick self inflating mattress - about $100 and warm and comfortable. They are a little bulky when rolled up.

Hi Buffer,
We have camper trailer as well & kids, we got the Coleman bunk beds. The kids love sleeping on them, you save on floor space because they are a bunk bed. We don't completly pull them apart anymore when packing up, they are stowed on top of our matress because they lay down flat, quick to set up as well.

We have two camp stretchers we bought at a camping shop a couple of years back. The only brand name on them I can find is, Great Outdoors, but they are a lightweight stretcher that collapses into a bundle same as a fold up chair and about a mtr long. When extended and set up that takes about 3 seconds they are of a similar shape to the old shearers beds if you know what they look like, eg raised at the head end. They are extremely comfortable to sleep on and I would recomend them to anyone. cost each when we bought them was $110.00.

Bunks are good, we've used a set for our kids for many years, and with the CT we just remove the upright bars and leave the rest together and stack on top of our bed. However now that the kids are 10 & 12 they have graduated to self inflating mattresses, they take a little extra room on the floor during the night but through the day we just stack them on top of each other if we want more room.

When buying a set of bunks just make sure they are stable when put together, have seen a few types that look like they will collapse if any weight was put on them.

The camp stretchers get pretty cold. Better to have a self inflating mattress on a groundsheet.

We use the DMH mat for the daughter, which rolls up slightly smaller than your average swag. Usually stow it flat on the top of the camper mattress.

We use stretcher Beds , OzTrail. The ones that are about 50cm off the ground. Provides plenty of room underneath for storage for kids bags.

BORROW SOME BEFORE BUYING AND TRY THEM!!!!
