Simple Sturdy Hinge Bed w/Storage * Fast & Cheap Camping Van Cot
As close to a no-build as I could get it, this is an inexpensive way to have a sturdy bed and storage while being able to have room to move around, store other cargo, get dressed, cook, and work if you live or camp in a van, mini van, box truck, skoolie, school bus or SUV. Hopefully some or all of this could inspire or help you while deciding the type of vehicle or living setup you are looking for. I really like these milk crates for storage and even cooking or work surfaces, they're like day to day real life lego blocks that are super useful.
Approx $52-$122 for a low cost somewhat of a "no-build" build, depending on the materials you find or decide to buy.

A Hitch Kitchen Cargo Box for Car SUV Minivan Van Camping * Mobile Live/Work Storage & Cooking
Просмотров 5 тыс.3 месяца назад
My trailer hitch camping kitchen or mobile work toolbox. Some of us on the road have cars, SUVs and minivans and need additional secure storage or kitchen space like folks with Sprinters, full size vans, busses and box trucks have. Aluminum is rust free and tough, I think this could work for many people, especially those who have tried or seen alot of other builds and need a different approach ...
A Hinge Bed in my SUV * Car Camping Build with Storage

This is my take on a SUV camper conversion with a hinged double sided storage bed frame. You can easily access food, water, tools, clothes etc from the side doors or the rear hatch. This design should work in a Van or MiniVan, with a similar layout and attachment. After owning 2 Sprinter vans in 6 years I decided to switch to an SUV and build it out as a camper.

    Hi i me and my neighbour share common wall between our houses, while the ocassional music sound doesnt annoy me but the thing which mostly annoys is they have their kitchen cabinet and bed attached to the wall which creates a lot of vibrations like bassy vibrations. Its not something they do on purpose but its the thin wall which amplifies it and i have my toielt and empty ventillaton shaft next to it which multiplies the sound 10 times as well do you think if i create a 4 wall structure with attached door and ceiling onto it like a room within my room will this help eleminate the vibrations? im a aspiring musician and this thing is creating a lot of trouble in my productivity. I hope you will answer,

      @@groundliftstudio851thanks very much for watching, but I’m not sure what you mean by false walls though, they’re real walls connected to the floating floor, top and bottom plates with ceiling joists spanning across the top. Do you mean how do we brace them next to one another once we lift them off the floor after we build them? In that case since this is a room in a room slightly under engineered because we won’t have the weight of roofing materials, joists, and insulation and drywall, we just had a couple of nail guns ready to tack the corners together really quick while we continue to build the next wall. If that’s not what you meant message me again and I’ll do my best to answer :-)

Imagine those small guitar cabinet iso boxes but instead 24 feet wide 14 feet tall, sitting on the rubber pucks and floated floor. I totally see what you’re asking now. Yeah it was a little tricky. We did put a cleat sticking out on the very top of the walls after we built them flat on the floor so that when we lifted them up, they didn’t tilt back the extra 2 feet where the air gap is to the existing inside warehouse wall so that they just rested there giving us enough time to, brace it and lift the other wall, making the right angle and connecting them at the corners so they were rigid and sturdy. Then we worked our way around, making sure they were plumb and level before starting the cross joists for the ceiling drywall. Big project, best to you with your project!

So they are hand measured hand chopped heavy rubber 4’x6’ horse stall mat pads we bought at tractor supply. Slicedthem into strips with razor blades and a 4 foot level then chopped them into 4 inch squares with a saw. Then sandwich them together with liquid nails and gridded them out on the floor with chocolate before laying out the plywood. Crazy. It worked very, very well.

      Hi and thanks for the kind words. So do you mean measure the R value of the insulation? We we’re building a ‘room in a room’ studio so our R value requirements are different than a typical build. We needed isolation and dampening that’s not like a heat/cold coefficient. We paid more attention to the inside studio walls diffusion and not having standing waves than exterior sound leakage. We did pay attention to all measurements just not all were traditional toward house construction.

    Nice studio build. A suggestion for next time: Angle the walls since they are non structural. Break the walls in the middle along the horizontal length and push the middle out by 8-10 inches. You might slope the ceiling. This is to avoid parallel surfaces. For the control room make the front of the room a trapezoidal shape, slope the ceiling and break the side and back walls. Again this is to avoid parallel surfaces. These simple steps will reduce standing wave problems at very little cost.

    • @SkyAcreRandomEtc
      @SkyAcreRandomEtc 2 месяца назад

      Thanks for the question, but we knew about all these suggestions when we built the place, big project and we did almost everything you mentioned. Just couldn’t cover those details in this short time lapse. This came out amazing didn’t have any issues with standing waves at all, we had punchy drums without really any low buildup in any of the corners. If i rebuilt thevstudio again after dismantling this place, I would do exactly the same. The angled walls are unparalleled slightly, and we only had two parallel walls and they were 24 feet across from each other with plenty of absorption and diffusion so no issue there. Thanks for watching the video and for your input.
