There are all kinds of campervan beds available on the market and at a range of different price points. At Redline Campers, we fit RIB beds into all of our campervan conversions and there are a number of reasons why.

To help you understand our reasons for installing these beds, we have compared the pros and cons of RIB beds and two of the other most commonly installed beds into campervans, Reimo and Rock’N’Roll beds. You will find these pros and cons below.

When it comes to other campervan converters, you will often find their choice of campervan beds come down to cost and availability of the product. At Redline Campers, we have an excellent supplier relationship and are committed to creating premium campervans, hence why we always choose to use RIB beds.
