Just in case this helps, I've annoted a picture from the internet. Basically, as well as the actual bunk, there is a pre cut piece of wood, similar to that which I've drawn on the table, in the attached picture, and this slots into the two handles, highlighted in yellow, to stop the child from rolling off the bed.

Basically, you lift the two handles until the bunk bed clears the runner that it sits in attached to the back of the van, then you lower the handles towards yourself. The sections of the bed circled in a large red circle (one left, one right), slide out ever so slightly and rest on the brown lugs highlighted with a small red circle and that is all there is to it. There should also be a small black ladder somewhere in the van & heypresto, one bunk bed...

Best wishes,

Simon.

Andy says:

We do not have any pictures as we have taken the bunk beds out as we consider them a waste of payload.

But to get them to work you pull out and raise the bunk element, then it folds over on to itself and rest on the support mention in the original query.

Its quite heavy and takes two people.
