Your son may be great full to have a dad like you are, I don't know who my father is, it's a big secret from my mother 😂😂😂😂I have the same car but without the side doors, and you are give me some inspiration thanks man 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Your elder son had me and the wife in stitches. Playing up to the camera like he had a gun......oh to be young again ! Like your design, looks like we will do the same in our Fiat Doblo (lwb). I like the fact you didn't upload it at 16x speed, so you could actually see what you did, cheers, Rob.
Step-by-step instructions for a Citroen Berlingo III single bed. The instructions describe all dimensions, materials and woods that can be cut and obtained from the hardware store. Then the timbers and angles are put together like a kit.
Nice one, i was looking for something like this for my boat. it's about the same size but i'm stuck with 2 build in boxes and can't go with a slider bed, this is a good alternative. only thing i need to change is the bed self still needs to open for excess to the bottom of the boat ( where your kitchen is) so i was thinking to do the same thing but instead of mount it permanent i'll go with a 2nd piano hinge. thx for the vid
I no longer have any sketches or dimensions for the bed, as far as I can remember, the bed was a small double in width and length with the extensions at the end extented. 120cm Wide x 190cm Lenght. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the video, i think i have decided to go with your design and do something similar to my nv200. In a small van as you know space is at an extra premium. Wonder if you woulld consider this, i am going to. The backrest/legs for the bed are hollow, i am going to tinker with using that space and fixing ply in place with magnets or simple catches to gain access to the hollow area. Just a thought.

Hi Sid! Great job, lots of inspiration for my 2015 Berlingo. Could you please be so kind to give the width of the bed "unfolded" in day mode? I may have missed this one (sorry - French 🙂). Thanks a lot and very happy new year BTW
Thanks for this video! It's good to see yet another version of a space-saving bed. I really like how your bed folds into a bench - nice and easy. But what do you do with the mattress when the bed is a bench?
As I couldn't get a good look at the bench frame part closest to the wheel arch, did you make the frame flush up to the wheel arch or around it? Love this idea, the most accommodating bed idea I've seen soo far for a combo van build. 👍
Thank you, the frame butted up to the wheel arch and the top of the bed / seat sat just ontop of the wheel arch. Where the drawer slides in and out that is where the frame ends, the rest is supported ontop of the wheel arch which offers adequate support for such a small portion of the bed. Hope that helps, thanks for watching :)
Hi Sam, honestly I’m failing to remember what it was now. I think it was 3”x2” for the frame and 18mm ply then. I seen a bed recently with pull out sliders it was a brilliant idea the channel is Josh Oakes check that out I can’t remember the video but it was fairly recent.
Somewhere between #6 and #7 you installed the floor, or did I miss it? Maybe wasn't so complex but interested in how you insulated underneath. Great series!
Hi William, a lot of campers insulate the floors but very little heat is lost from the floor. I never really insulated the floor but I used some carpet of cut to slightly insulate and provide a little sound deadening. Just cut it to shape and layer the plywood on top and screwed the plywood in a few select areas. Make sure you check for anything you could damage such as brake lines etc when screwing the plywood down. Thanks for watching 😀
I can’t fully remember what dimension the bed were I think the legs / frame was 4” x 2” or 100mm x 50mm, the ply wood was 3/4” or 18mm hope that helps 😊.
Hi Robert, the van came with the collapsible front passengers seat from new. Im not sure if it was an extra or standard from factory though. Thanks for watching.
Hi Rodrigo, the spare tyre on the berlingo is underneath the van, it’s on the outside. You will need a spanner and socket set as there is a bolt and frame holding it up to the underside of the van and normally they are rusted on. Hope that helps.
@@johnrose1985. No worries, got the 4 way stretch carpet from www.highpeakconversions.co.uk/shop/lining-carpets/premium-range-carpets/premium-flexi-trim-4-way-stretch-commercial-van-lining-carpet/
I had the same thought. I'd cut a long diagonal slit in the four longest pieces and join them back together so they were strong vertically but kind of weak horizontally. If they rest on a vertical support posts then they would take the weight of people but in a crash they should deform and allow the rear half of the bed to collapse into the front. Similar thing with the top sheets, a diagonal cut so the back half can slide up and over. The whole thing would basically need a slight redesign.
