TO DESIGN AND MAKE BERTHS AND DINETTES A variety of designs for convertible and fixed berths and dinettes.

"Almost any type of upper berth which swings into position for use may be included in the pipe berth classification, whether pipe enters into the construction or not.

For comfort the berth must be longer than the occupant, not less than 30 inches wide and must not sag appreciably before morning. However, available space will determine the dimensions." HOME PAGE |
