 I think you could easily make one yourself out of a piece of 10 oz canvas, 2
 round poles, and 4 brackets. The brackets are like the ones you see in the
 hanging closet or as I call it the cloakroom. The brackets are open from the
top

I bought a child's cot for a Loaf Westy. It's shorter than what is needed for
a Vanagon. However, you can simply mount it higher up the pillar or cut and
extend the tubes to the proper length. I can take some pics if anyone wants
to see what these thing look like.
