Fantastic design, nice work Chad Smith.

Awesome , love the use of light weight aluminium and bamboo 👍

That's awesome! You've build what I had in my head in a better way. I wanted to do it with fixed platform and vertical airline-brackets but your idea with telescope is genius.

Van life just keeps getting better and better, really a great idea.

Thanks for sharing. Some great thinking went into this. Excellent concept.

Bingo ! you nailed it my friend. Best Bed and multi purpose design . I am a Builder and always into space planning for my projects, but when we are looking into a custom truck camper or a van build out it is much more of a challenge. You did a very good job so keep up the good work. Lee

Amazing design! I've subbed!

If I decide to live out my days in a van, I want you to build it!

Great idea multi function multi purpose the way to go. Idea, why not put a set of fold down legs on each end as well and make a table ! Do all three or just one.. picnic or barbacue table for inside or outside. 👍

Brilliant!

American dream at its best ..... So lucky to born with that passport 👍

I was thinking the same thing. you did it though. Congrats.

This will fit queen mattress right? When are you expecting the design phase to be done for the seating brackets. Would love to be able to turn this into a bench

really great!!!!!

For specific customization questions, you can email us photos of your van with a specific question. Thanks!

I've got to ask ... you made the one side of the panel retractable (even lockable in that configuration) ... why not make both sides retractable ... then they could conceivably be folded down to almost half their size and stored in less space.

Is there a special mattress for this bed?

Our ratings are conservative but we can't endorse more weight. We suspect this limit has been exceeded in real use and we have never had a failure reported under any circumstances.

Is that static or dynamic weight rating of 600lbs?

Inventive. But you still have to move things to make the bed. Best to have a bed that lifts up when not being used, that way you can just leave the bed messy.

Can you make it go lower? I'd like to use two moab bed sets as queen bunks but with the current min max mounting heights, there won't be enough space between the beds.

@Jeff Bantle $4000 dollars?

I like it, but living in Canada, I am concerned about thermal bridging given that it is entirely aluminum and steel directly from the van body all the way under the bed. I’m afraid it will serve as a conduit to draw all that heat straight out to the metal skin of the van.

Yes. You can stack two beds to create a second sleeping area. Alternatively, you can use the second bed up high for storage and sleep under the lower bed on the floor or platform build above the wheels.

Yes, you can install two MOABs - one high, one low - to sleep more people.

How about putting the horizontal rails on a vertical rail system since the platform automatically hugs the interior wall? Stow it in the up position when not in use and lower it when its time.

THE MOTHER OF ALL BED MODELS DESIGNS ARE A SIMPLE ADJUSTABLE INVENTION RESOLUTION FOR VAN CONVERTION OWNERS NECESITYS. QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE THE KITCKEN CABINTS, WALL CANIBETS, WITH PANTRY STORAGE SPACE, THE KITCKEN TABLES BUILT IN SINK, STOVE WITH, WITH OUT OVEN, BATHROOM WITH SHOWER, TOILET? YOU CAN ADJUST OR MOVE TO A DIFERENT LOCATION IN THE VAN.

How about just make the tracks in the wall electric pushbutton the whole bed moved up to the ceiling push it again and it comes down easy Peezy

No mattress, huh?

Put 2 sets of rails on the wall so you dont have to bolt and unbolt when you move the bed

@AdventureWagon

5 жыл бұрын

That is an option and we do sell additional sets of rails just for this purpose. Even without the other rails, it only take about 5 minutes to remove and re-install.

I think it’s worthwhile to make a distinction between “the bed” (as is always stated in this vid) and the bed *platform.* Most people probably don’t sleep on the bare (hard) wood platform. So to say “all you have to do...” to take the bed down is remove the platform, which admittedly takes seconds, is slightly misleading. Taking down bedDING and storing it should be part of the complete picture. Props for a well-built and ingenious platform tho.

I love it, but at $3500, plus $900 for the installation kit, I'll never buy one.

For 4k+ you could probably make something very similar without the gas struts and some different hooking mechinism on the end and use the rest to travel the country. honestly a great idea, and I'll probably use it for my build but 4k is too much.

It’s not moving the bed that’s the problem, It’s wrestling the mattress, bedding, and stuff under and over it, within the cramped van space.

easy to move the wood, not so easy to move the mattress and bedding ! Cool design though.

$3500 is a $h*t load of money. for half the price i would buy the hippijack or whatever its called motorized bed fr ame

If you're here to see an actual elevator bed this is not it. It doesn't lift. You can just manually reconfigure it's position.

I don't think this was well designed at all. From what I understood it is to be used in those van convertions with kitchen, storage and sometimes bathroom area. How do you expect people to remove the matress, 3 huge slab of wood and the screws and brackets out of the way with such a limited space left? You have maybe between 50/70cm wide of space to walk freely - a walkway between the front and the back of the van. And most people with a fixed bed have storage underneath it.
