Good ideas, but a bit rough for my personal aesthetics. But then I relate to the character in American Psycho - except for the murder-y part.

Personally, I think that the choice of that stain is unfortunate..... I would have been better painting the wood in one of the same grays as the rest of the interior or choose a shade of gray that's a bit different but in the same family.

Nice build .In watching many you tube videos about van conversions I haven't found any comments about the floor. How did you go about leveling the floor for the bed frame?
@DenizenofAwe2 ай бұрын
@@ronaldruntenelli7700 the floor does slope slightly down towards the front but it doesn’t matter because only the front two legs of the bedframe are on the floor, and the rear legs of the bedframe are in the back in the trunk basin. Basically you just need to park your van somewhere where the ground is level and then measure the length of the four bedframe legs to make the bed level. It’s best to try and work on your van when it’s parked somewhere on level ground. Ultimately, it’s not important to get it perfectly level, just close as you can

@denizenofawe is there any type of roller mechanism for the bed to slide up and down between sleeper and couch mode, or is it a bit of a clunky wood on wood feel to the process? Asking because I would like to build a similar bed, but am not quite sure I am seeing all of the steps clearly... Thanks for the video, hope you see my question soon!

Really outstanding! Love the stain color. Do you remember what you used for the curtain rod and glue? Which cooking location do you find you are using most and do you regret not finding a spot for the fridge in the van where its a little more accessible? Cheers!
@DenizenofAwe10 ай бұрын
Ive been backpacking in Central America for a while so i haven’t been using the van lately but i was using the latching pop up outside the side door the most. Yeah i think it would have been awesome to have constant access to the fridge in front but i didn’t want to give up the space…

I used a hot glue gun (to the ceiling) and some super glue (to the vinyl sunroof rim) for the curtain slider. It’s actually a plastic curtain slider not a rod

20:10 - How does that release the spare? Isn’t that at the front?
@DenizenofAwe Жыл бұрын
Yes. The spare is toward the front of the van (more specifically, it’s by the sliding door on the passenger side). The spare is held under the van there by a bolt and the nut that keeps the bolt suspended is inside the van, accessible through the floor hole I made. You can unscrew the nut from the inside, and the bolt with the spare tire will lower onto the ground outside.

Great design, and great update to the basic EEE design. I also liked your modification for sliding your bed/seat forward (as shown in your extended video) to make more headroom in the back. Like you I am also very tall (6'6") and will likely incorporate your modification into my build as well, especially seeing as I have the rear sunroof as well. Thanks for sharing!

I got them on Amazon. There is a link to the product in the video's description under "Front Curtain Glider"... it's a plastic glider thing, not a rod. Amazon calls it a "RV Designer A502 Wall Mount Glide Tape Kit" I had to glue two of them together to span the width of the van. And then I glued the glider to the ceiling and sewed the hanger pieces to some black fabric.
