Bunk bed

Greetings Jeff!

What you have is the hardware that is associated with what is generally referred to as a "Hammock Bunk". These were available in at least two sizes according to information that I have seen. My '64 Overlander has mounting hardware for two such bunks (one over each of the center twins) - - in fact I remember sleeping in one of these when the trailer was new in '64. These bunks were essentially an aluminum frame that folded with canvas streched between the main rails much like a wooden army cot. The original bunks for my trailer were separated from the coach sometime between the second and third owners as the third owner's from whom I purchased the coach had no knowledge of the bunks. There were some photos of such an arrangement in the airstreamphotos.com site as well as on an earlier thread for which I have misplaced the reference.

Kevin
