VW T5 Trident sleeping compartment

Hi all,

Could someone please tell me if there should be an access ladder for the upper sleeping compartment?
I haven't got one but I am the second owner so it has possibly gone missing ??? Or  they may not have come with one at all ????

Thank you.

I didn’t go for that option with mine so can’t answer your question, I’m afraid. Suggest ring Auto Sleepers at Broadway. Brilliant vehicle.

i'm looking for the slats to make the upper sleeping compartment which never came with mine . Does anyone make them?

As far as I'm aware, the panels are a specific size for that conversion (i.e. every model that A/S made with a roof bed has different size panels) so it's unlikely that anyone other than A/S will make them, other than as a custom job.

The ones from yours are probably still in the loft or garage of one of the previous owners...

The panels should not be hard to make, but padding and trimming them to match the interior is the non-trivial bit, depending on your trimming skills!

Hi there,

Looks like A/S still have it available in their clearance sales items

£50 is great value - hope they still have it available!
