I like to spread out a bit when I sleep, so maybe a bit wider of a bed for me. I really like the cabinet and the way everything is wired up and easily accessed from bed. Oh, I have such a long way to go, but the journey is always half the fun.

Great build! I plan to follow your lead. And your garage looks amazing! May I make a suggestion, if you need to level out your bed, have you thought about taking some blocks with you to drive up on? That might be easier than utilizing the furniture levelers. Just 4 scrap 2x6’s about 10” would probably be perfect. Or you can get plastic ones. You could keep them stored under your bed in case you need them.

Hey Don. I just build my truck bed setup after watching a bunch of videos for ideas. I was inspired by your builds because I wanted alot of room and wanted my bed to be easily removable. Got a question on your power box you have sitting in the back. What is it ? Does that supply all your power for the lights and charging stuff ?

@BrianWatersOutdoors

7 ай бұрын

It’s a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 x. It does power everything, but it’s way more than you really need.

Did you consider making the drawer long to use more of the space there? You mentioned the top being hinged several times but didn't show so I assume this will be in future videos.... can't wait.

I did, but in the end didn’t want all the added weight of a huge drawer box, longer and heavier drawer slides, etc…. The top is hinged, and I’ll do a full, deep dive walk through over everything in detail once I get the cabinet built and this thing is done👍🏻

Brian, great looking build. Checked out your foam on Amazon and wanted to ask you is it very firm? I purchased a trifold bed and it was extremely firm and uncomfortable.
