I watched the video today on FB. And wondered if the Video was taken with camera facing aft ?
Safe travels,

The bunk portion was facing forward as the bunks are on the driver’s side.
Of course the bedroom video is taken facing the aft.

Good Andy ,
Was just an observation. But if You are in a bunk and Your feet are not facing forwards, You will not sleep well at all with the coach in motion. So I was told by an old entertainer that has logged years and years traveling on a bus.
Nice coach You have there Andy. Good luck with the mods.Safe travels,

That and in a panic stop you risk a neck injury if your head slides into the wall of the bunk – you should have your feet forward if you are going to use it while in motion ( all other risks legality etc aside…) I’m guessing we all know that but it’s worth mentioning…

To clarify, the feet are forward in this bunk floor plan.
So far during my brief time of ownership, there has yet to be a situation where someone is sleeping during transit. I’m sure there will be occasions when there could be someone relaxing in the bunk while in motion, so I thought I would ask:
Is there a reason to place a seat belt, mesh net or strap in the bunk? If so, what’s a good solution?
I’ll add that when Lucy the Dog is on board, she wears a harness that is secured to a seat belt.

Thanks Per and Margrit!I don’t know if you’re aware, but Lucy tried her hand at politics in 2016. She ran a scandal-free campaign, but sadly she did not prevail. She has yet to decide if she’ll run again in 2020.

Andy, I personally thought Lucy made some cogent comments in the video and would be a lot better politician than most in D.C.
