Simple Campervan Fold Out Bed - DIY Camper Conversion

Simple Campervan Fold Out Bed. In this DIY Camper conversion I went for a fold out bed instead of a pull out bed. There are a few van bed ideas but this one is simple to make and works really well. Van conversion bed design is important as the bed doubles as a seat and space and ease of use is also a consideration.

    Great job & design! One tip I learned, I would like to share, though: When using a circle saw bit, especially if you wish for a smoother result on the surface, start your pilot hole, then stop before the teeth touch the surface and put your drill into Reverse for the first millimeter or so. This creates a smooth indent score line and prevents splinters. This method is essential if your are cutting a hole into any laminate or melamine or solid surface ("Corian") or epoxied surface.

    I don’t have a van, I have a small trailer. I’m looking to change the bed/seating arrangement so that I can swap between multiple configurations/orientations and none of what you’ve done will work for my project whatsoever.HOWEVER, I’ve watched the entire video and will be likely watching all your videos now, regardless of subject matter because (and I’m sorry if the reference isn’t familiar) you are the “Bob Ross of building” and just following along to your narration is extremely relaxing 😂. It’s just peaceful and serine and all around nice. Thank you.

    Great craftsmanship! You made the flip bed look easy. I prefer the flip to the slid the slide out bed

    Great videos, I've been binge watching them more than Netflix. Gtreat work and good commentary throughout. I'm just along the road from you "well almost" in county Durham and have just bought a 2005 VWT5 to start my conversion. Your video's are a great help.Thanks!

    Yes, I do love you fold out bed and I an not a woodworker/carpenter like you are, but your build did make we wonder if the legs you use at night for bed legs if they could adapted and designed to use as arm rests during the day?

    Hi Dave. Great to see an old-school craftsman at work. I have a VW T6 with a rock and roll bed which is just not comfortable. So, I am going to take it out and build something like yours. Just subscribed and will having a look at all your videos. Thanks. Jim

    Watched your vivaro fit out and I was going to change my plans to a rock and roll bed then I found this post this was my first idea but with a slated bed

    Love your work dave. I think would be easier to make up bed if you could slide the legs out of the seat or side unit . Another option might be fix a slim board on unit the bed fold would land on ..
