Mama Mia I bought a mattress from ikia I thought they went out of business where they live store left in Alaska 🤔🤣

One of first caravan designs was with the bed elevated with storage underneath. It didn’t work for us. Went with 2 foam mattresses that you can stack during the day.

Thank you thank you thank you this is exactly the video I've been looking for and I've been searching for 2 days LOL! I'm currently converting my van, I'll be heading up to see family for a week and sleeping in my van! I never thought of patterns, can't wait to find something cute! Awesome video!

nice job on the video and the build!

Thanks for sharing I 10:31 have been trying to figure out a way to be able to access the back of the van I have a dodge 2019 caravan and I want to put it refrigerator in the back and be able to access it from inside I believe this design will help do that I also love the fact that it's easy to store some of the things people build is so heavy and take up so much space

Thank you for sharing! Cant wait to go there!

I had seen this video a couple of years ago. It was a great setup but did not go with the wider mattress we had already brought. Fast forward to now. I have been wanting to invite my brother to camp with us. My brother will sleep in the tent. This setup is versital, There can be three seats for the drive and the one bed folded in back. He can use the wider mattress my husband and I have in the tent.

Nice setup but it's not worth the price

Excelent. The best of the many I saw.

Well aren't you two just adorable! 🙂

Hi there i was wondering after 3 years how your beautiful window coverings worked out? Did you find moisture a problem with the cotton fabric? They looked sensational.

Hi there nice builds. I’m just wondering what the dimensions are for the bed as well as the height of the bed and are you all the way to the back door or do you have some space back door there before you get to the door?

Hi, How tall is your bed? Can you sit up without slouching? Thanks

Looks great. Curious though if it would have made sense to keep a foil side exposed to reflect the thermal energy during the day

why does it say quick freeze on the timer? lol

I've tried to do this, but I just can't get the templates right 😕 You make it look so easy... My paper was sliding around everywhere - I tried to use masking tape to hold it in place but it just peeled off 😔

New here, love this. I was just talking with the hubs about making our own. Just to fit our own van. I had the same exact method in my head. Now, off to the van. Thank you, I appreciate that someone did it too so i didn't feel like I was wrong in my thinking. Love that so many chimed in too. Thank you community❤

How do you prop up the back of the bed into a lounger?

Please ignore my earlier request for measurements.....I found them in the video. Thank you again for sharing such a wonderful idea. I am a single woman with "limited" skills, but I can do this!! Cheers!

I absolutely LOVE your bed idea! Genius and maximum flexibility for someone like me with a minivan. Could I please ask you what the overall width and length are? It may be in the video, if so.....please excuse. Many thanks!

Excellent video your blinds look Professional highly impressed hope mine turn out something like yours

I just saw this video again. Still watching van builds, 2 years later. Time flies. 😮

Why did you sell the grand caravan ?

Hi there, hope all is well. Looking to make that bed soon...but I need to find a Sienna with middle row stowe seats...what year and make is yours I missed it. Thanks

Absolute best bed design.

This is exactly what I was looking for to put in my new 4runnner camper. Thank you so much!

Wonderful tour thanks!! Love that three drawer plastic unit! how much space between that and the vans back door? Thanks

Mask 😂

This is my absolute favorite concept for a minivan bed build. Versatile and seems very easy to put together. Thank you much for sharing as I believe I will be using this design.

Super gemacht, vielen Dank 👍

So you didn't leave one side reflective to face out during the day to keep it cool? It seems like dark fabric on both sides would heat up the van.

I am so glad I came across your video as I have been thinking of creating a bed frame such as this so you just made it a whole lot easier for me now. thanks so much

This was THE best video on making window covers. Thank you for the video!

I just came back from a trip and I went to the exact same cabin! I went with my friends and stayed in the one on the right, and my friend parents stayed in the on the left! OMG it’s so weird seeing other people in the place I was just at with my friends!

I like your idea for building the bed, wish you’d separated that part from the rest. Thx for the idea on the bed.

The front windshield reflectix window covers were not effective?

Oscar is on vacation

😢 I have same Groot

Just found your YT channel while researching mini van campers and subscribed. We’re on the west side of the mitten. We used Clams for years while wintering in Alabama. Love them.

Hey. love this design. Please can you clarify how you use in seat/bench mode? Thanks

What does 23/32 mean? We might call that CD, and it might be nonstructural. And RTD?

When he said he was excited because they're black, i noticed he looks to the side to see if any blacks got offended.😂 Was a black person standing nearby?😂😂😂

Great video. I’ve been looking at the same chair bed you have from the same dealer just wondering if it’s a really soft cushion or a little firmer. I would need a little firmer and you never know when you are buying stuff without getting to sit on it.

This is my favorite bed design of all I've had it saved in my phone for a long time and I'm going to attempt to build it soon shortly I want to know did the legs hold up for you that you chose from IKEA I'm interested in that I'm hoping they did cuz that was a good choice your bed was way cool better than any of them thanks so much loved it

nice

What camera are you using to capture this video

Ikea has a lot of useful components. However, your bed platform has no ventilation. We have bed bases, spring mattresses and bed slats for a reason, the human body puts out up to 2 litres (quarts) of sweat per night and ventikation is how you get rid of the moisture. This might not matter if you're not living in your vehicle every day but could easily lead to a mold problem and bleaching and even cutting out the affected area diesn't work as what you see are the bloom, the mycelium of the mold is probably throughout all the material and whatever other organic material it touches. Just drilling a holes in the bed platform or routing grooves into it should take care of the ventilation problem as would furring strips or just using Ikea's bedslats on top. If you don't want to fix your ventilation problem, there are anti-fungal paints but they work by containing toxic heavy metals so not something you want to use. You can usually rent an anti-mold fogger from Home Depot and embue everything porous in your vehicle with anti-mold chemicals namely the toxic heavy metals. There's usually a high demand for those foggers after a flood say from a hurricane or tropical storm. Mind you, only some molds are dangerous to your health and you can't tell which you have without having a sample tested. Note the sweat is also why foam mattresses especially memory foam start to stink after awhile. Again ventilation is key to preventing this but foam mattresses are a lot harder to ventilate. There are spring mattresses with hinges to alliw them to be bent in certain places such as to raise your head or feet but foam mattresses have largely displaced them. Ikea sells a very thing bedspring mattress that can tolerate some folding. Note, the moisture problem is another reason why traditional bedspring mattresses are supposed to be occasionally flipped.

Is the Mulberry trail for walkers, joggers, horses? How about bikes, trikes?

Those came out amazing!! Great job!

Smart.......
