Seeking Info on "sliding" bed

[fourbtgait]

A year ago while trollong thru cargo trailers, I seem to remember a build where the bed "slid" back into itself using "finger jointed" slats. The matress support ply slid into itself.
Anyone know/remember this one and where I could find it again?
Yes, I forgot to bookmark it.

That is pretty much what I was thinking, thank you.

The gaucho type will not work. Its actually going in a benroy I am building. Looking at possible under bed storage and thought if I did that, make it slide back some to make rainy day sitting room inside.

I found a really good site with detailed instructions and photos for such a sliding bed.
