Thanks Rob 👍

That's a great revamp Sam. Now we're thinking of cutting back some of our bulkhead, getting a swivel seat and doing a bench seat like yours for more storage and a bigger living area for the not so nice days. Thanks for sharing Sam, as ever. Good job and very neatly done.

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Thank you and it works a treat too

[@leemillington7164]

First time ive watched your vid, mate if you've built that van from scratch, you should be doing it for a living❤

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Thank you

[@gonefilming2020]

I could not quite follow all the prior steps, but it all jived once the pullout was assembled. A very tidy job and - as always - one can see the amount of thought you put in this. You are an inspiration! And with Neil testing for strurdiness, everything's fine. 🤣 One job done. Plenty more to go 'til Spain. Hugs to you, Lisa & Riley! ❤

I really enjoyed this build, Sam. It made me wish Id seen this before buying a rock and roll bed. Deffo one idea Id explore if I ever got a different van. Much respect🙏- Kenny

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

cheers kenny we spent a lot of time working through the design and its turned out reallt good

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

[@bryzot7242]

Sam ...that has to be the best simplest explanation to any bed build vids out there it's also a job I'm undertaking on the two rear benches on my van..as per usual you have lestend the amount of expletives I will use I'd say enough so to leave me some for the in laws coming for Christmas dinner & for that alone I am eternally grateful 😂😂😂😂 another fine job sir...Sunday sorted😁

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Awesome, thank you! be nice to the inlaws they have feelings too😂😂😂

[@bryzot7242]

It's factual they do... that's why they should stay at home😂​@@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife

[@andrewhamilton-gill]

Super job, very neat and expertly executed, looks fantastic. May I ask where you sourced your upper cabinet door latches? They look very smart. p.s “ try not to burn the candle at both ends “.

Great video Sam. I will now have to do the same to mine 🤦‍♂️👍💸. Quick question, have you any links to those runners you used please 🙏 Cheers in advance mucker 👍 Hope you and your family have a great Christmas 🎄 You inspire me to do better things.

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Let me have a look for you

[@Basilbrush207]

Tidy job Sam. I see you have long ducting runs for the blown air heating like us. We sleeved ours in Eberspacher/Webasto thermoduct insulation sleeving so there is less thermal loss under the bed and it warms up the van quicker. Stops stuff you’ve got stored under there too hot as well. Now back to my new cabinet build..

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

@Basilbrush207 I'm going to take a look at that thanks for the tip

[@jjs_adventureswithcharlie]

Brilliant work Sam. Given me ideas now to change our Charlies bed as works so much better than with the legs. Have you got a link to the hinges please mate?

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Let me get back to you 👍

[@jjs_adventureswithcharlie]

@@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife Its ok Sam i meant the runners not the hinges but found them from your previous video. Cheers mate

Very tidy job.... I notice you have a side mirror over passenger window, I was looking for one similar, could you tell me where you got it, and thanks in and advance.

I was impressed with our seat but now I’m rethinking it cos that works perfectly and holds all the weight (me) and above all it looks dam good as well .

It was great to see you both over the weekend and catch up 🫶 Thanks for the thumbnail, always the hardest part of any video to create 😁👍

[@Bethy4477]

I have been searching for ages for something bespoke like this. What a great idea this is. I'm sure there will be lots adding this to their future builds
