Cabbunks: How to add cab beds to your VW Transporter Campervan

Cabbunk - cab beds for kids

Planning unforgettable road trips with your kids? The Cabbunk system is one of the best family-friendly additions you can make to a VW Transporter campervan. Designed specifically for children, it offers a fun, comfortable, and clever sleeping space in the cab area - giving you even more freedom to enjoy your adventures, wherever they take you.

At TrekVana Campers, we love offering smart solutions that help families get the most from their travels. Cabbunks are ideal for growing families and are fully compatible with the VW T5, T6, and T6.1.

What is a Cabbunk?

A Cabbunk is a removable, child-sized bunk bed system that installs easily across the front cab seats of your campervan. It transforms the cab area into an extra sleeping zone - without needing any structural changes or permanent fixtures.

With a secure mounting system and strong, breathable fabric, the Cabbunk supports children up to approximately 70kg, making it perfect for little adventurers who want their own cosy corner at bedtime.

Why Families Love It

If you're travelling with kids, the Cabbunk brings major benefits:

• Everyone sleeps comfortably: Children get a safe, dedicated bed — no need to share or squeeze in.

• Quick to set up and pack away: It installs in minutes with no tools required.

• Safe and secure: Built with robust straps and stabilising bars, it’s designed specifically for young campers.

• Fun for kids: The novelty of sleeping "up front" makes bedtime a breeze.

  
  

And when it’s not needed, the Cabbunk folds away neatly into its own carry bag — easy to store, easy to forget about until next time.

Designed for the VW Transporter

The Cabbunk is purpose-built for vehicles like the VW Transporter, so it fits the cab area perfectly - whether you have fixed or swivel front seats. It doesn't interfere with your campervan's main living or sleeping area and can be used alongside popular layouts like:

• Rear U-lounge beds

• Rock n’ roll beds

• Rib beds

  
  

This gives families the flexibility to travel together without the need for larger or extended vehicles.

Made for Real Adventures

From spontaneous weekend getaways to long-haul road trips across Ireland, the Cabbunk adds peace of mind and practicality. Parents can relax knowing everyone has a comfy place to sleep, and kids love the independence of having their own little space in the van.

It’s particularly handy for early risers or late-night stargazers - your child can climb into their own bed while the rest of the van remains open for evening chats, meals, or relaxing after a day on the road.
