    Looking for a Rock and Roll bed

    I’m working hard on my 2003 E450 Red Cross ERV conversion and have begun to collect parts for the interior. I think the best solution for my floor plan is a rock and roll seat/ bed. This way I can have the kids buckled in safely when driving and make a decent bed for overnight accommodations...
