Sleeping in your Alpha campervan

Setting up the bed – internally and extending with the Rear awning. Extending the bed out the back and using the rear awning is fantastic in the Summer months. It not only allows for much more room inside the camper but provides great ventilation for a comfortable nights sleep.

If you plan to sleep with the internal set up we recommend hiring the mosquito nets that cover the windows. This way you get the added ventilation!
