DIY Sliding Van Sofa Bed: More Space, Comfort + Storage

[@highwayman1769]

Morning Guys. Had to watch that one twice - there’s a lot to follow. My head hurt watching it, so I can only imagine how much thought went into it. Looking really good

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Lol. We had to think each step out twice too 😂

[@ElohiSilverEarthVentures]

Thank you finally someone else who's main part isn't the length needed and add an additional piece like how I am doing. Except my ends I've got 4 smaller extensions that are going to fold up and down like arm rest to the bench when put up.

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Ah no worries. That’s a great idea! Bet that works well.

[@peterfinch3548]

Another excellent example of your joinery skills. Looks great 👍

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Thanks Peter. Hope you’re enjoying the weekends show 🚐🚐

[@davidneen4907]

Amazing work, this bus just gets better every week. Your detail to everything is just brilliant. Definitely a self build to be proud of.

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Thanks David. This bit might just be our favourite thing so far on the build 🚐🚐🚐

[@chrisfedrick3882]

Another great build guys Struggled to hear you this week but only on the talk over Keep up the good work

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Oh no. We tinkered with the sound this time to try and improve it too 😂.

This is great thank you just designing my sofa bed ❤

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Ah brilliant. We can report it works really well.

[@ian_morg]

Yes mate!! Genius! I love it!! There’s so many things in this that require so much thought and detail to make it work. Well done all! 😍😎👍🏻 Loving the puns too 😂😂

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Lol thanks mate. We are pleased with how it’s gone. Was one of those where you weren’t sure if it would work until the bitter end.

[@lucianne7249]

Great ideas and great skills to match. You’re both a pleasure to watch (and a Greg Virgoe in the making, I reckon!).

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Thank you for your kind words, we really appreciate it.

[@MRWonderingHaggis]

Fantastic job did I miss last weeks episode and I hope you're all doing well

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Thanks Mr. H. We are doing well. Kelly has a bit of a cold but on the mend. Hope you’re well 🚐🚐🚐

Glad it worked on trip

Thanks Dave. We did it 😀. Thanks for your help.

[@catandgareth]

Ahhh wow thats so cool. What a great use of space too :) Fantastic skills as always .

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Thanks guys. Very kind of you to say. Hope you’re doing well 🚐🚐🚐

[@Dirt-Diggler]

Loving that fabric hinge 😎 Great solution 👍 Can't beat a turtles cover 😁 after all they are heroes in a half shell 😎

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Lol. They totally are. Thanks - we were half tempted to try the piano hinge there, but it wouldn’t have worked. B&Q (or a ratchet strap) to the rescue 🚐🚐🚐

[@martinbibby9079]

Love the bed/ sofa. Great progress as always.

Thank you Martin. Appreciate your kind words. Take care 🚐🚐🚐

Well thought out and a good use of existing off cuts makes it economical to build. 😎👍✅✅✅✅

Your getting good at this..extra bed,seat and storage, looks great looks functional. Now be warned that you may at some point in the distant future find this your dog house..we all get one, eventually. 😂😂

[@Polecat54941]

I have to admit that when I started watching your videos I thought you were a couple of fruitcakes naively buying a tatty old bus with the delusion you were going to be able to live in it and thought it would be interesting to watch why this is not a good idea! But having watched the whole series I have been surprised to see that you are a couple of fruitcakes who are really resourceful and determined and have no idea about the meaning of giving up! I am very impressed with the quality of your work and the way you have adapted to the steep learning curve of becoming a camper builder and hope you continue to post videos after this bus is complete :)

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Hehe. Thanks so much polecat. You don’t have to be a fruitcake to build a van like this but it definitely helps 😂

[@mentalneil]

Oh mate that's fantastic

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Thanks Neil. Appreciate it 🚐🚐🚐

[@deanwood2332]

looks great and comfy. do you have to clime over the bed to get to front of the bus.

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Thanks Dean. You could just about squeeze down the side, but probably wouldn’t want to attempt it unless you were flat Stanley 😂

[@finnomara4148]

How do you attach the extension bit and where do you store it and the vision bit that fits on top. If love a side it system but it looks so complex to build

Ongelofelijk, hier is weer over nagedacht

[@WanderbusAdventures]

bedankt jongens, veel denken in deze.

[@livingthedreambuildingthedream]

Genius

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Thank you 😊

[@Tom111060]

... Again fixing the piano hinges the wrong way ... should be screwed to the slim face of the plywood so that only the small hinge portion is to be seen ... (find this nearly at every DIY build done wrong)

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Thanks Tom. It would have been impossible to do this as the leafed section had to go on last. We are please with it either way, and it means we can remove them easily in the future should the need arise. Cheers for your feedback 🚐🚐🚐
