I have a 2012 express 2500 "dish network" van that I'm converting to a camper van.
In planning the rear bed area (sleeping sideways) I will be able to build a much larger cabinet area above the "foot" side of the bed as I would not have to worry about hitting my head on it. The obvious problem would be that much of my camping will be primitive and un-level. Everyone likes the rear of the van facing the best view but no one likes sleeping with their head down hill.
My question is, does anyone out there use small ramps or any other methods to solve the leveling issue or just build the bed/cabinets to allow sleeping both ways? I hate to waste all that un-used "air space" over my feet.
Just wondering how others have addressed this issue.
Any input would be appreciated.

 

I use this with my Pleasure way GMC Savana 3500 and it works pretty well. I have a set of 12 and so far always been able to level as needed. Leveling in my case is crucial since my fridge is an absorption type and need to be at 0 deg angle to function properly..
There is different quality and manufacturer ... choose whatever suits you.

 

Very nice! I'm a "build it yourself" kind of guy and am a carpenter with plenty of scraps around but the light weight and reasonable price of those has me re-considering.
Also, now I know that others are using various block methods to level their vans so I know that it is feasible.
Thanks!

 

Yes it works fine .... unless being forced to park in a very steep slope then of course blocks have limitations. I have seen quite often owners using leveling blocks made out of wood. They seems to work also. But I prefer the lightweight and of course and the ability of giving them the shape and height you want pretty much like a bunch of lego blocks.
