We have a Lunar Quasar 462, 2 berth caravan and sometimes when making up the bed, the slats come off the runners as I pull them out. It also happens when putting the bed away. Any idea how I can avoid this happening as it it such a pain to have to remove the central drawer unit to get all the slats back on track!
They do push in and out easily enough but seem to go askew sometimes, I think lunarvenus is right I will have to make sure they are pushed dead centre.
Thanks for your replies
I think this happens on most vans. Certainly has on the vans we have had. The trick is to just take your time and keep them straight. Only takes a few seconds longer, but saves the hassle of trying to get them back on.

I wonder if the O/P still has the same van, as the post is 10 years old. I don't recognise most of the names of posters on it.

Probably not but just wanted to get this out there as we have had our van 4 years and only now able to use the double bed
Just sold on the 'offending' model van very recently. I found if you pull the slats out uniformly, and push them back the same way, they stayed on the rails. But, some of the bench seats seem to be over-wide apart, which meant the rails could still drop out as the gaps either side of the slats were too generous. The only way of curing this, apart from fitting longer slats, is to glue a fillet of timber - maybe 15 x 5mm, inside each runner to reduce the span.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
