Project:
Velcro Strips for V-Berth Insert
|
The two small rubber bumpers / stoppers which are suppose
to keep the V-berth insert in place are not particularly
effective. In deed, the design is somewhat dangerous - our
insert has fallen out several times at night when someone has
slide off the edge while getting up to use the head. Solution:
Place "Velcro" sticky strips on the bottom of the
V-berth insert and the support rails. Because of concerned
that the glue on the strips would dry-out with time, we also
stapled the strips to the insert and rails. (See Figures A, B
& C)
