DIY Versabed Kit for Transit 148 Extended

Compatible with: Transit 148 extended Description: The VersaBed Kit for Transit 148 Extended is a modular sliding bed system designed by The Vansmith in Boulder, Colorado. Built for the extended-wheelbase Transit, it delivers a generous sleeping platform that slides from stowed to full length in seconds. The extra length over the standard Transit 148 means a true full-size bed. The system mounts to your Transit’s factory wall structure and removes easily when you need full cargo space.
