Keep up the great work my Older Brother George who passed away last December loved watching your videos and was in the process of altering his van and RV using your videos as inspiration I remember him showing me your videos so I subscribed and seeing your video pop up made me smile thinking of him. Thank you for all that you do and hope you know you inspire many much love!

@mayam6678 Год назад

Great way you solved the problen of the slats on the bed! I just did my bed in my 1987 J9 and used a high quality, custom cut foam of only 4". Its actually very comfortable to sleep on.

@Dualex_Builds Год назад

I usually like to make my mattresses out of 4 inch memory foam! My client bought this mattress and asked me to install it into the van. I didn’t realize how thick it was until it was out of the box 🤷🏽‍♂️

Another great video. You make it look so easy. When things don't fit or work right, you always have a fix for it. You are a talented carpenter. It doesn't appear that you take many short cuts. I've watched a lot of your builds and they are always top notch. I think you found your niche, camper and camper van builds. Thank you for sharing your project. I look forward to part 2 of this build.

DUAL EX- someone is stalking your commenters, posting and email from”RU-vid” that you have selected the commenter to win Camping Gear, and asking us to reach out using “Telegram”. I’m sure it is a scam. You might want to Pin a warning at the top of comments.

@Hunter357mag Год назад

My couch slides out into my bed too-although not over the kitchen. Maybe on the next remodel. lol Great design! I have a shiki buton-basically a futon that I sleep on, I just fold part of the side next to the wall over during the day for a backrest. No cutting involved, about 5" thick when you're sleeping on it, and very comfortable. Just an option.

@charisma-hornum-fries Год назад

I've slept on futons all my life. It's hard getting used to normal mattresses. My back always hurts badly when doing the switch. I hope you don't experience that.

@Hunter357mag Год назад

@@charisma-hornum-fries I seem to be able to switch back and forth easily. Some friends I visit really want me to stay in their homes-so I do. But I prefer my van and shiki buton.

Made me chuckle. I has the same issue with a mattress i got from amazon. Expanded to 10" and left no room in my laal van. Its now in my spare room and i had to by a cheaper thinner one that works perfectly. Nice work on the sliding bed design btw

Can I get a list of all your fave gadgets that would work for a man on the go? My husband is a master craftsman but full time dad now. It's been almost a year on the road with me and the kids while I am travel nursing. We love our new life but he needs some upgrades this Christmas as he continues to remodel our little home. We love watching your vids! Not a lot of old school teachings like this anymore! It's all in the details. Stay blessed and happy holidays!

Hello DuaEx, I've admired your work remodeling vans and creating storage and space in seemingly impossible places, so on to my reason for making this post I have a two-part sectional couch which I would like to raise and also create a daybed sort of situation and some storage within the raised space. What ideas of any might you have for something like this?

@iresolvers Год назад

Great job on the build the pullout bed is perfect for the small spaces...Hope the hand is ok, keep it up your killing it dude!!

@heatherm4276 Год назад

Great Job! Building out your own van is such a great challenge, not just for your body but for all the things that no one ever taught us. Adapting and over coming challenges seems to be my van story also, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Glad to see other van peeps go with this style bed, its what I went with also! You will enjoy the ease of it and the room. I would be careful with that cooktop tho, don't jump in the bed to hard and crack it. Great workmanship. You have a new sub!

@007nadineL Год назад

My first thought. Any action in that bed will crack the cooktop fast

Nice, have been planning to do this too, also you can buy a pre-made system like this (with foam mattress already cut in half and wrapped in fabric) by buying an Ikea day bed (and using the leftover side parts for something else)

Nice to see you still doing your thing. Wish you would spray paint those holes before putting on the rivnuts. If you ever take apart one of these build after a couple years of use you'll see why. For the bed frame felt slides better than rubber and will protect that countertop as well. Also I don't get the cabinets above the headspace on the drivers side. We gonna get to see you do some upholstery on the mattress pieces?

I've been fixing the back of my pickup truck as a solo camper, and have been thinking of a similar idea, but having the ability to convert to a couch with the one section going vertical. I've also been considering how I might utilize the linear actuators and mechanical parts from a used recliner to automate the transformation from couch to bed and back. Have you considered using them? (I did see the video where you attempted to use the mechanics from a futon... So this is sort of similar.
