This COLLAPSIBLE Bed System Is Perfect For MAXIMIZING SPACE In Your Van!!!  

Thank you for showing this Seven! I am taking notes for a bed of my own. It is appreciated :)

I’m glad to see people finding ways to live and thrive without spending every cent they make on rent or mortgage...save as much as they can living this way and THEN buy a house...don’t be burdened your whole life with a huge house payment. This is so smart. And having solar power too. Keep it up kids!

Love it. I was recently looking at conversion kits using 80/20 but they were too overbuilt for my needs. Your system is inspirational to me. Thanks!

Wow that is pretty ingenious!! Very clever!!

Excellent! I needed this type of bed platform system for my sprinter build!

Great Idea, I'm thinking a full bed permanent, but a option if needed like this would be definitely smart for a rainy day of some sort for me.

High quality materials and nice craftsmanship. Good work man.

Wow, genius! Amazing work Seven

Thanks. It's looking good. Can't wait for the next video! Keep it up! :)

What a GREAT Design!

Damn dude....that is epic! Good job.

Excellent work. Very neat!

Looks brilliant! Yes excited It will be very functional

Agree with others... absolutely the best van conversion platform bed solution that I've seen! Simple. Strong. Readily available materials. Easy to manipulate. Looks cool. Bravo!!

love this idea!

Super clever idea. Thank you for sharing

Subscribed and liked. Glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing.

This is absolutely awesome!

Another fab vid :)

Awesome brother! This is exactly what I need.

Lookin smooth 🤘🏼

Holy moly! That is one serious design😮

Very good design. Thank you for the excellent idea and sharing in such a natural and easy way.

Love it. Great job

Holy this is awesome!

Awesome bed design ❤️❤️

Wonderful how you can come across a new idea after do many van-build videos

Very good idea and good job !

80/20 is flat out the most amazing product... you can build anything with it ... really only limited by your imagination ... and checkbook... I personally would have elevated the height of that bed depending on your build out plan... lots of people create bike parking under bed but you are definitely off to a great start

Hey man great idea!!!!

You have a new subscriber. I am looking forward to watching all your videos.

That's really nice!

Good thinking and well performed...

Pretty cool, please keep going

amazing idea!!!!

🙋🏿‍♀️New subbie here👍🏿I can't wait to see you deck this sprinter out! 🚐👈🏿

Great video very cool 🤙🏽

Looks nice!👍

I've researched a looooot and your videos came up. By far the best conversion imho. Thank for sharing. Please link materials if you have the time. Awesome!!!!

Brilliant idea

Good use of aluminium extrusion and linear bearings

this is really awesome. I'm considering to use this for my sliding walls camper van ;)

Really smart system.... Top

I ran out of 4040 like 5 times even though I thought I added up everything before hand. You also spend about as much on fasteners and slidy, bendy parts as you do on aluminum extrusion. It's a great system, already have more bars in my cart.

I made the same thing from wood, but used a double bed base. It's lasted 4+ years so far. I use two 6'x2' mattresses and just put one on top of the other when stored collapsed.

Just found your posting eager to find out how you proceed thank you for your efforts and thank you for posting

80/20 was a great idea!

Congrats for the stunning build (and selling it). I'm thinking about making a similar bed, but with a hinge in the middle to be able to use it as a front or back facing sofa and to be able to access the garage from the inside. What kind of solution will you have for your new Sprinter for the bed? Looking forward to the new build videos!

Do you have the bed schematics online anywhere to look at, I really love the idea of using 80/20 for a sliding bed in my van and yours is absolutely perfect

Best design I’ve seen. Really like it.

Brilliant!

Great job. That 80/20 is expensive but great to work with. I wish I had seen this video before I converted our Renault Trafic LWB van.

Duuuuuddddde. That's what I been thinking about. Thanks for sharing. I see a comment below that it wld cost alot and I def don't have what it takes to pull that off, but the info is still appreciated.

Fantastic idea, I want to build the whole campervan with this alu profiles

Very clever👍

OK Now that's brilliant!!

This is an awesome design. I'd love to know how it's been working out now that it's built. I am planning to do something similar with slats that slide out over the kitchen counters to make the full bed and the mattress will become backrest pillows when in 'day lounge' mode.

Gotta love 80/20!

Thanks for sharing, new follower here.

Nice work

I ended up going with IKEA metal bed supports ($20 Each x4) As they extend And slot into place Bed mattress folds back And you can pull up the supports ether way Front/Rear Or all for moving items. With brackets I think i spent $150 And its a double size bed 400Lbs no problem ...But it was your channel that got me thinking so thanks !

Genius!

Oh man, this is amazing. I also have a Sprinter 144” and have been struggling with the bed frame design. Do you have an actual design with dimensions that you’re willing to share?

Nice I’m building me one of this when I move into my big room

This is looking great! If i had more money allocated to my van build, the extruded aluminum would have been my choice to build with. Perhaps if I do a remodel later, this is what I could do. I too have thought about a hidden shower setup, near the bed area somewhere. I am still in the planning stages myself but the build has commenced. I will be following your build. Thanks!

Hi fella, a little tip from someone who lives in UK where rain and damp weather loves rotting vehicles, just squirt some old used engine oil (new oil if you prefer) in the wells of the body panels then it won't matter if there is debris in them as you won't ever have to worry about rust ever again. But if you live in a dry state then ignore this comment. Keep up the good work...

Nice design!

That's exactly what I'm needing wow

Good job like it

This ours design (but with wood) we love this design! Still have a garage and huge living area!

OK - I had planned on making a bed I designed using ideas from FaroutRides bed. Yours is better for what I need and is quite cool. But - I need more practical instruction on 80 20 if I'm to attempt this. Thanks again for leading me toward better design. I already have the right mattress for this type of sliding frame! Yours with warm regards Jennie

Great design. I would install this later in the build. So I’m curious what problems and solutions you find for your different path to the goal.

Hey - great video! I don't suppose you have drawings for this in terms of the connections and measurements?

Brilliant...

hey mate love the design! just curious if you recessed the 1515 as well to account for the plus nut sticking out (mentioned in your explanation at 2:12 for the old extrusion you were using). cheers

mad props to you. just found this! just subbed! this I need with just a 135wb. help! can I get total checklist? I need plans like this! so appreciate it!

idée originale, félicitations ! merci pour le partage

I have designed the same system for my bed to pull out use two separate mattresses easy .

Cool ! Better than mine, I have a low roof Transit.

Interested to see how you incorporate this into the layout

Nice job,tell me how many linear bearings did you use, do the centre moving slats just slide along on top of the stationary.

You are good creator and you can make other option too make colapse like a sofa too yes just upgrade. Thank you for sharing

Wonder how it worked out attaching 80/20 to the van frame without a thermal break? I'm assuming that in winter, the bed frame is the same temperature as the van exterior.

Dude, shorter promaster and I am taking a few ideas from you. I just finished the bed. Its a slider but I used futon hinges and a lot less 8020. Next up, magnet ceiling.

dude love the setup!!! do you have the link for the anchor fasteners and bolts you used on 4:55. plus what bit you used to make that hole.. gonna try to do this as well. you have inspired me!!! thanks again

Very smart idea! Could you explain how the frame can be stopped at the end of guide slot?

The use of aluminum is smart...wood is very heavy, especially 3/4" plywood

Instead of folding the mattress, why not make the back part of it go up against the wall (when collapsed) so you can also have a "couch" :)

amazing this is actually the way I planned to do it. nais to see some who also thinks that smart. hopeful I find a van tour video 🙃

I love it too - - - do you anticipate any squeaks during use or travel?

Very clever! Can’t wait for the van tour!

After watching other videos of yours. Did you consider raising the bed a few inches to reveal more countertop when you slide it back? Your stuff looks great man!

The plusnuts have a pullout strength of 500 lbs each or so I believe, and that's straight pulling outwards, probably even stronger for this application where most of the force is vertical. Four of them could withstand 2000 lbs. They are indeed the only way to mount stuff to a van wall. For many things you can even use the pre-drilled holes that already are in the van ribs so you need to do minimal work on holes and the like. Great to see some 8020 linear bearings in use in a van, too, t-slot is such an incredible material to construct van guts out of. Strong, rust free, moisture impervious and 100% squared off and true if you just measure your cuts right. I like what you're doing here. Also great to see how very little that first beam bends with your full body weight on it, my plan is also to build a bed out of this stuff but I wasn't sure off hand what kind of weights it could support. Clearly a framework of this will easily support even two big people if need be.

That is marvelous. How did you find the extruded metal and come up with that design?

Awesome! Can't quite see where the bearing pads go. Also do the inside corner brackets take the place of the corner braces you used throughout? Thnx!

I'm taking notes on everything you do for my Van build out ! Is there any way you can fold your mattress frontward so that it would be more like a couch when you fold it?

Have you thought about the folding Murphy bed syatem for twin size mattress Mounted sideway. That would leave you with a lot of free room.

Wonderful design! Do you sell plans for your creations?

Men, That shower must be amazing

You should of had them closer together , the mattress will end up dipping through the gaps followed by you
