2007 compass omega 505 bunk bed

[greenhorn1973]

Good afternoon. We got a Compass Omega 505 last year and are going away with 5 for the first time. I can put the bunk bed up, no problems there, but how do I arrange the cushions to fit for the double bed below with bunk up?
Owners manual says to arrange the pillows appropriately - just can't find the appropriate arrangement that works. HELP. Many thanks

Thank you. How do the cushions go when the bunk bed is up?

I do wonder if you should have another set of cushions for the bunk bed. We have not had the model you refer to but had an Eldiss Shamal some time back and that had a set of dedicated cushions for the bunk which was also over the rear bed, these stored in a cupboard when not in use and were not for use in any other way.
I take it the caravan was second hand I and suspect the last owner simply failed to leave these in the caravan if they are missing.
We had the same arrangement for bunks on Coachman and Avondale caravans although a Trophy had the bunk cushions made up from loose cushions that split in half to form the bunk mattress.

Our previous vans that had a similar lift-up bunk the long back cushion was doubled, so opeing out onto the bunk gave a rather thin mattress. Otherwise were there originally extra cushions (likely slim again) stored until required?

Our five berth Sprite has a rear dinette which makes up into a double and bunk. Like others the bunk has its own cushions/mattress which store in the wardrobe if required. But actually live in the loft. The cushions for the double are quite thin but when made up into the fore and aft single are doubled up which makes for a comfy nights sleep.

Same as above, our 6 berth came with extra cushions etc etc but live in the loft as we only use it as a 4 birth so I think whoever you have bought it off hasn't passed on the extra bits and bobs

This thread reminded me that I really don’t need to cart around the excess weight if the bunk bed panels and structure. It’s now out and in the hall awaiting wrapping before heading loftwards. I will compensate for its weight by adding our two Lafumas so the noseweight should be unaffected and we benefit by having two comfortable loungers for the expected hot and sunny summer coming our way.

I have the cushions for the actual bunk bed and the lower double bed. Just can't work out with the bunk up how the lower cushions go

Have you tried the owners club if there is one. The makers are terrible in not giving information in owners manuals. I got info for mine via a websearch where at a Polish exhibition the reviewer was walking around the van and the camera focussed in on some colour photos stuck onto the above dinette lockers. The photos showed the various configurations of cushions to assemble the various rear bed options. The makers could make it easier for us couldn’t they?

I may be being a bit thick here, but don't they go the same way regardless of whether the bunk is up or not?

I've just signed up to one on Facebook

On our Eldiss which was a bit older than your Compass, the seat cushions made up the bed with them fitting as shown in the photos on earlier posts. The bunk had two plain cushions which opened out to fit across the bunk. This was the system on all caravans we have had with a bunk.
Can you post a photo of what you have got?

All the cushions as in a previous post go on the bottom double and then you should have dark grey ones for the bunkbed.

Look at the Photography postings.

OC, I use post image , and Chrome, and once I have selected the photo and then "share" i click on the right hand side of the second bit down called "dierect link" which then says copied. Go back to PC post page . Go to the little square thing with the chain link. Punch in 400 then below delete the https , and paste in that bit and then insert. Check preveiw and the photo should appear.
