Disconnect any batteries and you'll be golden.

Depending on what your welding on the bed it could be easiest to remove it to avoid grinding and welding sparks ruining your interior.

 

I would get some scrap steel about the same thickness as whatever you are welding and do some practice welds first. Nothing quite so depressing as either burning big holes or making pigeon poo blobs in a pile on top..

 

Been and, unfortunately still there

 

You need a course with Miss Davina Urquhart ..

She is very good at welding and teaching welding.

 

Weld to repair or weld into place?

 

She?

 

Yes she started as a welder at John Brown's shipyard in Glasgow.. was beaten up by homophobic locals.. not many welding courses that end in a big hug.

 

My moneys on ‘her’ in the cage fights.

 

What's the meat-and-two-veg situation?

 

Happy to be taught by anybody with the skills of their trade and the ability to teach.

 

big job to remove it ill lay some wet towels around to catch any sparks

 

weld to repair,only 18 months old,wish i had paid more for a better quality one

 

iv found some scrap to practice on and set up the welder

 

Depending on where and how it has broken, are you planning on adding any strengthening or triangulation?

 

Welding and it's prep is soooo messy that taking out the seat, however difficult, just might be the quick way in the long run. No way I'd grind and weld something inside my bus that I could remove first however time consuming. Fixing one thing while spoiling another makes no sense to me.

 

As the saying goes no such thing as a 5 minute job!
I agree with zed

 

Its worth posting a picture of the damage- you may get advice on the best way to fix it.
Also maybe there will be ideas on how to improve the design of the kit of parts you bought when you thought you bought a complete bed..

 

which supplier?
