A very good diy design.. it's clever and it works. That being said, I prefer the more compact VW rock n roll system which unfortunately you need to buy! And while I'm taking parts from a trashed VW, I wouldn't mind grafting on the whole sliding roof assembly from a 21 window microbus. 😊

Eric, thank you for your videos! Your simple and functional build is having a big influence on planning my own build. Thanks so much for sharing! This bed design is so elegant. Love it. Here are a few video requests, ranked by importance (to me at least): 1) Sink/Water System: How to set up electric pump & water tanks 2) Table: Design of telescoping leg and 3 rails. Where to purchase similar leg. 3) Mattress cushions design 4) Solar: Which panel/battery/inverter did you choose, and why? Where is battery stored? Please detail wiring solar panel through rear door. Thanks again Eric. Looking forward to more helpful & inspiring videos!

👍You have made the best instructional video on the bed construction I have seen. I love the fact that you went to the trouble to make the paper mock-ups to illustrate how the design works and how to calculate the dimensions. So many other KZreadrs lack the insight to realize some things just don't show up as well in the real world as they do through a diagram. I'm looking forward to your electrical set-up and hope you will go into the same level of detail on the connections. I'm having a hard time understanding how to calculate the size of the battery, what needs an inverter, and how to run the wiring efficiently. Thanks for creating such a great video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi Eric, First of all, thank you for sharing your design with us. I found this incredibly useful in my camper van that I’m currently converting. I based my design off yours, safe to say it works great!! I would like to share a few modifications that may be useful to others as well. I used 1x3’s as slats instead of plywood. First and biggest reason is mold, which can potentially form under the plywood and into the mattress. The added ventilation underneath seems worth it. Second reason is one sheet of plywood can only give a maximum width of 48 inches. Travelling with my girlfriend and dog, a full size mattress (54” x 75”) makes more sense. The 1x3’s allow for a larger bed width and easier mattress installation (only need to cut a full size mattress horizontally). Third reason is less weight, I saved 10-15 lbs. using 1x3’s instead of plywood. Obviously, I had to change a few things to make your design work without the plywood, more than happy to share the sketchup model! Thank you again. You’ve been a massive help across many different stages in my van conversion. Bonne journée, Jake

I go outside to get a big gulp of that intoxicating Rocky Mountain forest air and then come in with all that insane oxygen to best absorb your genius :3 My father has often inspired me, when I was just a kiddo, with his ability to make anything anywhere all by himself. I remember him building this elevated "bed-room" in the back of a retail space in Honolulu, Oahu on a flower street (a street where many florists congregate) b/c then we can get ahead--a little faster--by not having to pay residential rent and pay for a flower shop.. It was like.. van-living without four wheels!! But you take the same can-do attitude and re-mix it with 25 years of van-living--to really take it up another notch. There's so much elegance and thoughtfulness to how you do things. It's a sight to behold!! I love it!! I am speech-less!!

@@ericenjoysearth2756 Eric, that was my very first KZread comment so I was pleasantly surprised that you've found the time to respond. Thank you. I lived in Denmark in 1969-70 and loved that country and its people, except the cost of living and the long winter!! My 3 bike trips in Europe are: 2017 - Moselle river (Trier to Koblenz) then up the Rhine to Bingen and turn around downriver to Koln, roughly 200+ miles. 2018 - same trip as 2017 but with my wife. 2019 - Danube river from Passau, Germany to Budapest, Hungary, passing Austria and Slovakia, 500 miles. In 2018 I also biked from Pittsburgh to DC along the GAP and C&O trails, 344 miles. I stayed in cheap hotel, hostel & Airbnb on these trips but you can camp most of the routes. I highly recommend any/all of these routes. I contracted polio at the age of 3, in 1949, and could not engage in any physical activities until my first knee replacement in 2010. With the pain gone, I hiked my first camino from St. Jean Pied du Port, France to Santiago de Compestela, Spain, 500 miles, in 2013. Since then nothing stops me - until this pandemic!! BTW, I'm a minimalist. I pack only 11-12 pounds on all my biking & hiking trips. Questions about the sofa/bed design: what kind and how thick is the plywood that you used? Would you recommend using 2x2 instead of 1x3 for the frame/legs? Also, for the table: where did you get the rail (?!) and the leg?? I hope to learn more from you. Again, much appreciation.

I find all your videos really clear and well explained. I'm thinking about converting a minivan and your channel is a good source of inspiration !

Thank you for your comment Léaqua! The channel is exactly for that!👍

I am SO delighted to have found your channel. Your layout is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I am excited to start looking for a van to make this a reality. Thank you for sharing your build and also your life philosophy! So great to find a Canadian and someone like me from Quebec who is doing this.

Merci pour ta vidéo ! Mon lit s'appelle ... Éric lol ! J'ai refait tout mon van avec la configuration de ton plan lit / banquette car on ne voit que très rarement les couettes oreillers etc qui prennent tellement de place et en plus c'est tellement simple de transformer la banquette en lit !!! Un vrai bonheur par rapport à un lit peigne !!!!! Merci 10000 fois pour tes explications et plans ! Nous sommes ravies de ce nouvel aménagement !!!! J'espère que tout se passe bien pour toi en ce moment et encore merci merci merci pour le partage !!!

Merci Déborah pour ce beau commentaire! C’est très motivant des commentaires comme le tien! 😃Je produis des vidéos pour partager et aider les gens.

Eric...I am so inspired by your videos....keep em coming. Not everyone needs, wants, or can afford a Sprinter type van.....I was looking at cargo vans, but now I am all in on a minivan using your conversion. Sienna #1, Grand Caravans #2...in the 3 to $5000 range. Thanks

I particularly like your comment Reaf. . I think that everybody should have access to the joy of traveling and living a van life. I will continue to produce videos. I just bought a new computer for video editing! Stay tuned! ✌️

Best I have seen done in Van's life. Nice love it.

You can certainly do this! You do one project at a time and you will end up with a complete conversion 👍 In this video, I suggest how to split the conversion in multiple projects, and in which ordre to do them: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lqmWlLRyqrC4k84.html Thank you for your feedback 😃✌️

Hi Eric. We have watched all your videos and are using your ideas as a model for our 2008 Honda Odyssey. I just finished making the cardboard mock-up for the the bed. I've seen many requests in the comments for an answer to the question of how you secure the bed to the van. When you get back to making videos I hope you will put a top of your list. Love your positive attitude! Thank you for sharing.

An Odyssey, this is a good van for a van conversion! I am in the process of publishing a video today. The next video should be about anchoring cabinets and bed. It should follows shortly. More videos will come. I do have time ahead to edit and publish👍 Stay tuned it will come! Thank you for your appreciation comment! It is much appreciated! ✌️

I loved the paper versions giving a visual of the whole. So good!
