Had 2 turn off that background noise 😳.......

That's a good little set-up, I play a lot of golf opens in the summer and this would be great to turn up on a Friday night and get the head down and use clubhouse facilities in the morning. Free digs!

Great video! Was originally looking at small vans to start living the van life but as time goes by I'm leaning more and more towards estate cars like the Touran. Very informative and educational!

Hi, this is great, I really like your project. Would it be possible to get the plywood dimensions please?

Great Video I would like to build this also in my touran

Hello, this Idea is great. How do you do it at the center console and the front seats with the wood foots. Have you the dimensions, yet?

Dimensions, materials list? Can you post please. This looks ideal.

Nice! What is lenght of the bed?

very cool! where are you from?

Hello. I think its a very good idea for building campervan. I am also the owner of wolkswagen touran 2004. I would like to make myself the same travel kit as yours. Do you have drawings and the required amount of materials? photo in the manufacturing process? Thank you, waiting for an answer

Good job, is it possible for you to share materials and dimensions for all parts?

Hey I think the cost of the wood was around 100 €. The Mattress is a normal 2x1,4 m for beds. I bought the cheapest one I could find on amazon. To fit the mattress i had to cut the mattress in half (I had to sew up the open ends again) and cut some parts at the sides away.

This is by far the smartes solution i've seen :) Thank you! At the moment i do not own a touran myself but i'm looking forward to buy one. Is it possible to fit a 2m matress inside without adjusting the seats so that you can drive and sleep without rearranging the bed all the time?

I have Touran. I slept in It and it sucked. When its cold it's very cold and when your under sun it's suffocating!

Hey, this is supercool! Can you tell me which wood you used and the size as well? :-)

Hey Thank you I used just normal 10 mm plywood and some wood slats, something like 20x40 mm. For the bridge, wich holds the front part, I used 60x60 mm.

Great job, nicely done. I do however think the VW Sharan is a better base with a little more space.

Does the Sharon’s seats come out

@@endofdayzfitnessu.k2126 YES, of course - the huge win with the Sharan is head height - especially in hot weather. I'm sure that's why he put the vent catch on the tailgate, to allow air to move however better to put a curtain across the front seats and leave the front windows with a gap

Great conversion, where did you get your window shades please.

Hi, if you have the first part of the bed that you put in at 0:45 in the VW, can you still attach a seat from the rear seat bench there or is the bed frame too big? I hope you can still give me an answer after 5 years 🙂

If you have folded down the row of seats, the construction goes over the row of seats. However, I needed the space of the row of seats so I removed the three back seats. Only two people can sleep comfortably in the Touran. I built the construction in two parts so that theoretically the rear seat section could remain inside.

You have to use the front seat to sleep right? Thanks

The driver's seat must be in the front position and the passenger seat can be folded down. I'm not sure what you mean.

Cool and skilled but a blow up mattress seem like less effort

Hi, very nice. Im interested in doing something like this myself. Do you have any suggestions according heat during night if its cold? what would be the best solution?

During the night we leave the windows and tailgate a bit open. If it gets too cold, an additional blanket has always been enough. Once on a festival it was very cold, so I let the engine run for an hour. But wen it's not over 40°C or under zero degrees I always slept very well in my Touran :-).

Agree. Great idea and seems to be working but looks a bit too flimsy and made of too many parts. I'm planning to do this kind of bed in mine this year but from two pieces of ply and aluminium extrusions for legs. It will be much sturdier construction. Also, I'm planning to have just enough space for the seats underneath just in case I need to take passengers. The two pieces will fit in the boot on top of each other so the seats can be used. Otherwise, have fun and enjoy. 🙂

As soon as someone starts to take seats out and put in loads of wood, I turn off. No-build for me with all the seats still in!

Where do you do a 500th to 1 scale of yourself out of brown matter though?
