Apologies for the music in the videos, I have the radio playing all the time and need to cover it up due to copyright issues !

I have had 4 Motorhome , 3 with drop down beds . I didn’t keep the one with the fixed bed for long . The drop down bed is the business 😊

It’s great for me if I just want a day van. Thanks for watching 👍

So relieved ive finally came across a informative video of someone installing this! I am going to be installing it in the coming weeks and this has put my mind at ease! Great work

Hi thank you. It works great, any questions just ask, definitely get another cable carrier the one supplied isn’t very good. Good luck 👍

Brilliant timing, I was about to buy a Happijac from USA to UK as I thought the new Lippart bed lifts would have the runners under the bed which I didn't like. Youve just saved me a tonne of money and helped my build.Thank you!

Its working really well, ive got it rigged up to the power now and been testing it, the electrics is a bit odd, not as the info leaflet. If you need any info just ask. My next video will be fitting the upholstery and a demo of the bed working. Thanks for watching.

Lovely touch having the lighting on the underside

I wanted to match the ceiling of the van, also when the bed is down I can see underneath better with a light.

This is an excellent build 👏 👌

Love watching your van build, it’s going to be awesome. We had our van converted by Kevin from Camper Interiors. You have the same attention to detail as Kevin👌👍Looking forward to seeing the rest of your van build.

Hi, do you mean the bed frame or the electric bed lift system?

Out of interest, what are your thoughts on building that bed frame out of aluminium instead?

@exploresandtosummit

It looked a bit flimsy but probably lighter, but i wanted to make it more solid and match the rest of the van.

This is something ive been researching for so long now. Starting my conversion very soon and the lippert bed lift system. Question is can i do it myself. You nade it look very easy. Ive been told 2 days to a week for installation at £400 a day. You seem very skilled, i was wondering what your thoughts are. Also ive seen people make the bed frame from t-slotted aluminium profile system which might make the job a bit easier for me.

You could do it yourself but use the bed kit complete with the slats, that would be a lot easier, as everything slots together. Where in the world are you?

​@@exploresandtosummit I have thought about the full kit, but I haven't found a complete illustration of what it looks like. I think it's curved, which I'm not really keen on. I'm in the Midlands.

Hi. It looks to me you have installed the tracks at the short side of the bed and I can see your lift works perfectly. The Lippert instructions say to install on the long side of the bed. I’m guessing this isn’t an issue? Any advice appreciated.

@exploresandtosummit

Installing them on the long side wouldn’t work for me as the van sides are angled, you need a straight wall for the tracks. I’ve been using it a lot and had not issues.

@@exploresandtosummitThanks pretty much what I thought. I also have a Crafter and was thinking along the same lines with the curved sides. I guess they might have stipulated using the long side for the tracks in case the straps were too short. Can I ask you what width and length you used for the bed frame to suit the Crafter?

@exploresandtosummit

@digb1 I can measure it properly later. But what I did is measure the width of the roof at the highest point and measured myself so I knew I could fit the bed in length which was 6ft

Bed looks great, I am looking at using this system also, but am concerned about the 60kg lift limit. Did you get a total weight for your design? Thanks Bruce. NZ

@exploresandtosummit

Hi, the 60 kg is the limit of the bed, so when it’s down and resting on something, like my bench seating, you can load it what ever you like. 60kg is two and a half bags of sand which is really heavy, my bed is no where near that. Ive now got it connected to power and gave it a test with extra weight on it and it goes up and down with no problems. hope that helps. Thanks for watching, any other questions on it just ask 👍
