In these dark times matey, to have someone like you to wake upto, is a wonderful feeling. Keep up the good work .

[@jampam-jf8mt]

No need to lower the bed, build a storage bench step. You'll appreciate the extra storage in the long term for a bike and stuff, portable shower tray, full length jacket hangers

[@paddybee4685]

Exactly what i was thinking.

[@jampam-jf8mt]

It's not too high.. it's the perfect compromise between storage space and height. There are some campervans with much higher beds. Also it's the strongest mounting point.

[@Jacks0n020]

I was thinking the same 🤔 just buy/ build something.. something where you can put other stuff for extra space.

[@Defender200tdi]

I did exactly that, bench seat with removable base. Got my whole electrical set up in there, batteries, inverter, controllers, charger,fuse box the lot. Also a great way to run cable from one side to the other. Gives massive garage space under bed.

[@Adz]

The issue isn’t getting in and out of it though mate. I’ll be having a bench seat that could be used as a step. The issue is my storage and cinema idea above the bed won’t work. Plus less head room. But the main issue is not seeing out of the windows when sat up in bed. I don’t really need a big garage area

[@BruceLauderdale]

Following our chat we had over the weekend, I called A-Plan insurance today on the number you have provided in the description. I can confirm that they seemed thorough AND refreshing to deal with. They asked who I had heard of them through to which I mentioned you and got my 10% discount. I feel I now have the correct cover for my van conversion. I was very happy with the price too!

[@Adz]

Yeah I’m well glad I went with them. My last van was just insured as a regular panel van and this one is insured at a much higher value because of the conversion but the insurance was the same price!

[@DDLovett]

That was epic content. As much as i enjoy seeing van builds and drone shots of beautiful places, you just cant beat seeing a great guy having a laugh with some lovely people.

Thank you so much.. I’m glad you thought so!

Built a nice bed there. Might work to get a step for the bed, a step that doubles as something else you need. Go Bob Ross and call it a happy accident, make something good out of it. Looked like a good event there too. Good luck finishing the motor.

Hello Adz very funny Vlog 😂😂 loved the bed ! Was extremely jealous of your heated mattress topper but the fact that you feel you have constantly wet yourself was a little disconcerting 😂😂😂 loved the extra 10 mins well worth adding them even though it was random that’s what these shows are, random but so much fun!!

I'm not one to normally comment on videos, but I have to say after binge watching your channel as far as van life channels go.. You Are The One! Also.. You never said what brand those over sized water jackets were, so please can you let us know? Keep up the great work and really looking forward to seeing more of the Pigeon build.

[@Adz]

Thank you! It’s appreciated! The jacket is by a company called two bare feet but there’s loads of brands that do them now. There were a lot of people wearing that type of jacket there!

Please..please..please……it’s Wander around! Not Wonder!.. I totally (well..nearly) enjoy your videos

[@Adz]

[@margaretsweeney6268]

Put a cabinet to the door opening side of the van , you can use this to store a small fridge, , BUT underneath that fridge you can have a pull out section that’s solid and this can be used as a step to get up on the bed. This can also be done with the storage area underneath the bed, on floor level, THEN you can use the space directly underneath the bed to insert a length of plywood from one side to the other, put this wood on heavy duty runners and this is is your new space-saving table. Don’t forget to put a locking mechanism on these to stop them from sliding out while travelling. (P.S. I actually don’t have my campervan yet but am studying every vlog and video on KZbin to learn as much as I can).

[@Adz]

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve had my layout in mind for a long time already though :) the fridge will be elsewhere, but also the bench seat will be used as a step. But yeah I’ve seen people using heavy duty drawer runners for tables, seats and steps etc

[@staffybullterrier7678]

Awesome pigeon!... let the good times roll man 🤙

[@stephenrussell6074]

Don’t lower the bed fit a storage step. Having the height and space underneath is a must.

[@Adz]

I’m not so fussed about storage really mate, it’s just a bit high compared to the windows that’s all

[@stephenrussell6074]

@@Adz not good for looking out in the morning then? Would have thought it was great for opening the back doors for great views even if you are backed up to hedges. Personally I would attach a bed at ceiling height with a mechanism to raise or lower it. Massive flexibility and just so cool.

I put my bed even higher, have the wooden beam like you, and then another pice of wood that go up to each brackets. Mounted them upside down like you did. I fixed the metal beams from IKEA with L brackets, screwed. In front of the bed I have a seating area that I can step on to get up in the bed.

[@Adz]

My issue isn’t with getting in and out of the bed though mate, because I’m going to have a seat/step too. It’s just with the height of the bed compared to the windows because I want to be able to have a nice view whilst sat up in bed

Have you thought about a motorised lift bed to give you more space and storage (e-bike etc) Keep up the great work and content😂

[@Adz]

Yeah that was actually my original plan. It would’ve had to have been quite complicated though if I wanted the bed width ways because where the walls come in toward the top of the van, I was going to have to have just a portion of the bed lift up and down. Last minute I thought I’d prefer a simpler method. But maybe on the next build!
