Our 28BH Bunkhouse Conversion to Crib/Toddler Bed/Play Area
We bought our Reflection 28BH in July 2017, and our son was born in July 2018. We figured he would sleep in the bunkhouse once he was big enough. For our trips in the camper in the fall 2018, we used a pack n play in the living room. It worked well enough, but we left it up all day to have somewhere to put him and for his naps, and we were constantly tripping over it and shoving it out of our way. In 2019, we’re expecting to have a number of weeks in the camper, so in this off-season we decided to convert the bunkhouse to make it more immediately usable.
The 28BH has double-over-double bunks. We removed the top bunk, and used the platform of the bunk to create a crib/toddler bed at the level where the top bunk used to be. We created a crib rail and gate for it, and the crib rail will convert to toddler rail once he’s old enough to not need the crib rail. The bottom bunk will now be a play area for him, and can also be a regular double bed if we have adult guests. We added a baby gate to the bottom bunk for his play area. Without the top bunk, we think the bottom bed will be more usable for adults, because the headroom is greatly increased.
The bunkhouse has now effectively become his room. We are so proud of it, and excited to see how it works this season! My husband (@ncitro on this forum) and my dad did all the work.

That is a great mod. I always like to see folks make there camper more usable for what they need.
This will give others some ideas as well.

Great job on the modification of the bunk room! Plus, when your son out grows the crib/toddler bed that area will be great for storing his toys/stuff. Love seeing how creative others are with their rigs!!
