I have a 93 Chevy G20 camper van. It has a couch bed. The problem I am having is when the back comes forward to make a bed it is uneven. There are no adjustments on the 2 side brackets. Has anyone ever had this problem and if so how did you fix it? Thanks in advance.

I always found them lumpy and uncomfortable. I agree with Lionhead.

Yep. What they said......
Build your own with storage underneath.
Never scrimp on the bed, good sleep and comfort make the extra effort and money worth it.

Just built this…

4x4 posts, 2x4 cross beams, center divider, then plywood top. My divider is not fixed but fits very tight. The concept is that I can move it around and re configure as needed depending on what I’m bringing with me. This will be the usual set up however.

Thanks all. The problem I have is this is a camper van that has all appliances and toilet with a shower. So the only place it will fit is where it's at. So it has to be a fold down bed. I should have set it up and saw that that it was uneven. Well live and learn. Thanks again for your replies.

In that case you might try having the frame cut or maybe cruising the aftermarket manufacturers. RecPro is a good outfit.

What brand is your camper van? There may be a forum for owners.......
