[VAC] Re: '62 Safari

The "Hammock" option for an Airstream was more like an aluminum framed
cot without legs that two corners sat on hooks on the wall while the
outer corners hung on cables from brackets on the ceiling. They were
rated for 90 pounds maximum in most Airstreams. My dad has slept on the
one in my Caravel and liked it but ripped the canvas. The Caravel hooks
are across the front and so are stronger than if they were parallel to
the length of the trailer. The cable anchors are at the outside walls
not near the middle of the trailer for the long arrangement. The hooks
visible on my Caravel page pictures
