thank 4x4 but I have contacted them directly 4 times without a callback (even talking to a person all four times)

Im going with rock and roll hinges and building my own.

Let us know what you find. Its been raining all week in Norcal, so Im in research mode.

Another option I like is making my own tri-fold reclining sofabed and having these guys make the cushions (assuming they are cheaper than a good local guy):

yep, I found those guys too and may end up getting foam from them.
still expensive though.

I'll be interested to watch this come to life. Post pics of your progress!

A local upholstery guy was able to find that dark gray material that borders the top frame. I plan on doing my side walls, door plastic and new headliner with it. He also said he'd make the 3 or 4 fold bed cushions to my liking. He did some seats and dashboard in a 68 camaro convertible I restored, and was impressed.

I just want the rain to stop...

So here is my setup, before I ripped out the right side and started redesigning for the bed. I don't like what I have done as I will be losing cabinets due to my lack of forthought.

No kitchen area? Im doing the 50 type plan, except i will be having a solid wall behind the drivers seat, so I can attach an extendable laptop swivel wall mount. Since I have a HP DV-7 (gets live ATSC TV in HD, DVD, 17.5 inch screen and I sent up my direct TV spare receiver with mini-dish set-up.

My kitchen is proving to be interesting, since I have an Engel MR040F Fridge/freezer, which opens from the top. I got some sliders and will have it slide out of the cabinet with the push of a button.

Figuring out the locations for the AIMS 1500 watt pure sine wave inverter/charger, Morningstar controller, Blue sea 7622, dual AGM's and various other electrical items is difficult in itself. But, Im having a blast.

Anyone know where to get those button cap kits for the walls? I should have plenty of material left.
