We have recently purchased a 2006 Roadstar Dreamtime Cruiser and are in the process of readying it for our first trip. I notice that on the front of the lounge base there are two strips of wood that stick out about 4 inches. (See photo) I am assuming that they are to support a bed base. Can anyone tell is this is correct, and if so what it looks like.
Welcome to the gang Redgum46, enjoy here and out in the playground.
Looking at the pic and IMO I would say yes. Just cut a board to fit with a support along the outer edge and a bit of a mattress and you have a kids size bed.
The seat cushion looks like it has a bump on the outer edge so could be a bit uncomfy.

G'day Redgum....Very similar to my Jayco Heritage Dining set up before I converted to a double bed using the existing table....you can purchase folding brackets at most caravan dealers to put on the left hand end....mine supports 2 grandkids easily....they love it....we never used our dinette anyways as we have light table setting we use under the awning....the whole set up can be returned to a dinette again very easily....good luck...Hoo Roo

Thanks guys I thought it may have been an original fitting as the supports are covered in the same fabric as the rest of the lounge. I have asked Roadstar but as it is an older van they may be unable to assist. I guess it wouldn't take too much work to set up some ply with folding legs that could be dismantled and put in the front boot for traveling. Its not going to have to support much weight. Comfort is not an issue only the dogs will be sleeping on it!!!!
We turned our club lounge into a bed....it's an extra long double size/king single. While we have a queen bed it was also good to have a bed that I could sleep on when his snoring became a bit much!
Made it myself with a couple of bits of wood and a sheet of ply. Made a cushion and covered it. Put a couple of doonas under the sheet to even out those seat bumps and it was actually very cosy! If I can figure out how to load a pic on here I will do so!
Yes that's what I thought and the previous owner said something about it but they had never used it. I tried the table top but it doesn't fit as it is too wide. It sits on the long side but cant reach the small side due to the side panel of the lounge sticking out. I guess the original top could have been replaced.
