I have high hopes of converting a cargo trailer into a mini camper / office lol. This build is VERY well thought out. I love the nose door placement and the privacy screen is also an excellent idea. Thank you for this!

I’ve been searching for a bed lift that would work for me and have watched many videos. I’ve been wanting to do the hand crank to keep it simple but couldn’t figure out the best place to mount it. On the side of the bed. Great idea. I will have a ramp door so going to do it on the back side but I think that will work! Thanks.

I was about to pull trigger and buy 2 electric actuator to build my own bedlift until I saw your build, Both of your bedlifts are the simplest setup from the hundreds of bedlifts videos online I have watched. Whats not to like, both your your bedlift designs require little material, investing less than $100, and simple hand tools most DIY'ers have on hand. Thanks for sharing

Why people waste their time putting a bottle opener on something like this is beyond me.

Space, space, space! Tons of seating and plenty of sleeping options too! Very well thought out and so practical. A little pricey but of course you started with a very nice cargo trailer. This thing could last you a lifetime easily. Your build looks nice and clean too. The cushions are nicely sewn and fit well, that’s something that many don’t quite pull off. I have that same ladder, same solar lights too. The dart board is a nice addition that invites other campers to socialize I’m sure. Just really a great job.

Hey there, I have two videos about the bed. The Pully system has been replaced now. I found it was a good start but just not what I really wanted. Here is the video of that one kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJzXmn-pfaaepMU and here is the location of my new bed kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKusfJieequmjM0. Much simpler and can be raised with a drill or manually. The key for me on both of these was to not need to have a motor to move the bed thus not requiring more battery.

You have a really nice trailer conversion! Thank you for the taking the time to share it with everyone. I personally really appreciate it. I love elevator beds and this is the nicest I have seen. I am about to start a build and think I will go this way as well. The only thing I will do different is to use an 12V electric awning motor. I would be interested in knowing more about how you attached the roof rack for the solar panels. Maybe a short video on that? I have a plan for what I will do, but its nice to see how other people do things. Thanks!

Thanks for the comments. I just stayed away from the electric motor so that if I was running low on power when camping that I had alternate ways of getting my bed up and down. I plan on using the drill but also a small crank (manual) for choices. You are the second person to request this so I will plan on doing this shortly. Not sure if you saw both my other videos on the bed. V1 and V2.

You just made me a liker of a V nose for the most part I hated them but putting the door there made lots of room in the rest of the trailer. And smart, also pantry near the kitchen part. The bed would be an issue because it would be climbing over my wife to get up to go to the bathroom or if I get a leg cramp. I guess I could go out the back door. I would have to make a larger door in the back and maybe move the bed toward the kitchen part of the trailer. I very seriously thought about building a cargo winter house using an 18' plus tongue trailer we would only eat sleep and watch a movie or tv show Inside, mainly visiting relatives while we were in Florida. I want my property in the mountains to be our home. 73

With something that elevates like this, I am not sure how else you can get around this unless you chewed up more space and had your head and legs go length-wise in the trailer.

Thanks, Joe. We haven't had any problems towing in crazy rainstorms yet. I think having the door down the side probably would have the same issues if any because the rain would be going down the side hitting the seams too. With regards to showers, we typically are at campgrounds so far. I didn't want to take up the space for something we wouldn't use that often. I was thinking about having something out the back like many van lifers do by using the barn doors but time will tell on that one. For me it was being able to go inside if it was raining for extended time.

Hi there, we have used it about 20 times so far and I have to say there are only a couple minor things that I would change in the sense of build. The layout we love as everything is in the place we wanted it and is very practical. We had many years of camping in a popup trailer so coming up with the basics was easy. One thing i would consider if i was to build the benches again would be to make the space between the wall and the hings wider so that the back pillows wouldn't affect opening them. I am just finished v2 of the bed lift system a video will come out on that one. Build quality could be better but I am hard on myself. Thanks for asking.

Here are two videos of my bed. v1 is the one you see in the walkthrough and v2 is what I have just finished up that is simpler and cleaner. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJzXmn-pfaaepMU and kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKusfJieequmjM0

The ceiling is made up of plastic sheets. I don't know the brand as I got the trailer manufacturer to put it in.

Really nice build! Lots of great ideas for my build. I plan on doing a retractable bed also. Looks like you did a great job designing the complete build. Would love to see a bed build video. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. I did a short video on the channel of the bed build. I am currently trying something else out that I saw on KZbin that might be better but not sure since it doesn't use the crank idea which I liked.

@@liveandbreatheeasy Thanks! That would be great. I'm playing around with the 12v Harbor Freight wench build I saw on the first bed build I ever saw. Guy in Alaska made one and it looks like the simplest one so far.

Sí, había espacio adicional para usar, pero incluso con una familia de 4 no necesitamos espacio adicional. Nuestro camión no tiene nada más que leña. Espero haber traducido esto correctamente.

What was the total cost on the solar set up? Nice job, great sleeping areas! And good size kitchen with countertop space!

Thanks. Approx cost was $1500 CDN. That was everything from wire to batteries to solar to battery charger. Some lights would be in that cost too.

I'm looking to do the same idea. How much did the trailer cost roughly with the door, window and installation? I wanna get an idea of what kind of price I'd be looking at as well.

My cost is in the description but I spent approx 11k CDN for the aluminum trailer with 2 windows/insulated and the white ceiling you see in the video.
