Hi Guys
not having any luck with the search function with regards to this question.
Has anyone with a side conversion, with a rock and roll bed and a side facing fridge, found a way to access the fridge when the bed is down?
im thinking that the only possible way is 1 - a shorter bed or 2 - adapting the frame of the bed that gets in the way of the fridge.
i know its not the biggest issue in the world but its just something that bugs me
thanks

I don't know how practical it would be to fit a top loading fridge?
Of course you then loose work top.

not something i really want to do. and would mean a new kitchen unit to reconfigure things.
i know that new dawns newset install puts the fridge at the end, facing forward but just wondered if any smart cookies had a work around.

Yep, I see the challenge.
Wasn't sure if you already had a conversion or were looking to fit one.

Have you seen the New Dawn idea of turning the fridge at right angles access from behind drivers seat ?

My Bongo has a Wellhouse Leisure side conversion, circa 2005

cheers tessie, thats good know.
very similar layout to mine as in regards to the fridge so i guess a shorter bed could be an option if i decide to keep it long term.
