The bed looks amazing so does the rest of the van definitely giving me some ideas for when I start my transit mon .I went up to the bog today for a bimble and there’s a nice walk from the car park up to the rock and across to nipstone rock and back down to the car park take about a hour and the views are stunning takes in the Shropshire and wales boarders if you haven’t done the walk I totally recommend it bud.

[@DaveOutdoors]

Reet mon, thanks so much 🙏 I think I know which walk you're on about. Bring you out by nipstone camping, just after nipstone rock?

[@GlennAshton-n3i]

@@DaveOutdoors yes it does mon tell you what though it will be a hell of a place to put your drone up on a nice day .keep up the good work bud

[@DaveOutdoors]

I have been up to nipstone rock, but never took the drone as it was blowing a hoolie. But, yes, from up there, the views over to the longmynd are great

That's a great van build addition, be very careful of those little cutters, I purchased a compressed bed and when the bed expanded the cutter split apart and flung across the room. Very dangerous.

[@DaveOutdoors]

Hey, thanks so much 🙏 oh jeez that don't sound good, lucky I got the last remaining part with my fingers. Thank you for watching

Is there a video on how you installed the ikea brackets? This is what I’m unsure about doing, thanks

[@scottward1001]

What a excellent video thank you guys

[@DaveOutdoors]

Thank you for watching.

[@Soulvanlife]

It’s hard to tell, did you mount the brackets directly on to the metal? Also, did you use a standard full size mattress?

[@DaveOutdoors]

Yes mounted to the metal, I used riv nuts to fix, standard UK size double mattressas mentioned in the video

[@happyscubadiverinca6856]

Did you install the door windows? I was told they don't exist. Please give me more information. Thanks.

[@DaveOutdoors]

Yeah I did, there's a video on it

[@NaughtyNova]

Sorry if I missed it, but where did you get the slats for the bed from? Are they just the IKEA ones?

[@DaveOutdoors]

Hi, yeah they're just the ones from IKEA. Can't remember the name of them but I know they begin with an L if that helps.

[@MyVagabondAdventures]

Bed looks fantastic and I’m sure your going to enjoy its comfort, no more early rising now 😂

[@chrisanderson3379]

Awww noway dave ive watched this 😅

[@DaveOutdoors]

🤣🤣🤣 - no way - the brackets were easy enough to mount, riv nuts and bolts. The beams telescopic etc. Went to plan quite well

[@IzzyGamer0909]

great video ;)

[@DaveOutdoors]

Cheers mate 🤪

[@danh2310]

Long enough for 6ft3?

[@DaveOutdoors]

That will be touch and go chap. Personally I'd say yes, but your head and feet, may touch the sides, depending on your layout

[@ChrisYid]

Also how comes IKEA don't sell the brackets for these beams? Bit odd. 🤔

[@DaveOutdoors]

Very odd I know. Top tip, ring up the customer service/returns desk and ask them to send you some. Normally they only let you pay the postage.
