Yasssssssss, I cn easily do this bed set up everyday. So, this is the first build tht lve seen, tht l literally would not hv to do any changes to. It fits my exact nds. I hv blueprints & l cnt believe, their a near match. Not many modifications whatsoever.... I'm actually taken aback by this magnificent build. For me, l want to be able to walk front to bk, use cab seat(s) on a 360' swivel for more in van seating, hv a full bathroom w dry bucket system, hv a full functioning kitchen w full undermounted (double) sink, plenty of cabinet & storage space, hv a bed tht l dnt hv to mk up everyday, but cn be use easily, (be it murphy or elevator) & cn be put up out of the way for sofa lounging on both sides. As well as outdoor shower accessibility. This is awesome & it's beautiful. Grt job...thxs for sharing & be safe.

Thanks! We can either unhook the bed and lower it down by hand, or the winch has a safety disconnect that would allow it to release down.

Thé bed sliding down saves a lot place >>> one of the best invention. No need to prepare the bed when you’re tired it’s already ready great thanks for this ingenious idea. The only problem when there is a problem of electricity. Maybe electric and if it’s possible a mechanic escape solution if can’t use electric. Just in my opinion but of course diner s place can be used in general. Thanks to share

Yeah we havent had the problem yet in a year and a half. If our battery died we could always turn on the car and let the alternator run it. If the winch itself burns out than we have two options. 1. There's a release lever on all winches. 2. I have it attached via hooks that can detach, so could lift up one side at a time and slide off hook.

That bed is great! I've seen similar ideas once or twice from HiJack, I think it is, but they leave big metal racks glaring out from the walls. Your system makes your van's interior look very long and keeps it homey rather than industrial-looking.
