Shop Tour Rusty Lee's Rock 'N' Roll Beds

Not be confused with the smiley, Caribbean chef (she’s Rustie!), Rusty Lee Pickering has been making rock ‘n’ roll beds for the Campervan community for more years than he probably cares to remember.

While we were there our sister mag, VWt, also had one of their latest M1 tested beds slotted into its T5 project van, and all was good in the world. Having just moved into a custom built new premises in Hereford, the world of Rusty is flying high, here’s why…

Watcha Rusty, how’s it going? You well? How did you fall into this rock ’n’ roll bed lark?
