This bed is 100% DIY and can be done by anybody anywhere for UNDER $100!! I show my plans for this slat bed on SketchUp to help you better understand the design for the strongest slat bed design. Stick around till the end to see how beautiful this slat bed idea for my camper came out! You will notice that even though the materials cost under $100, how much time and attention you put into building your slat bed will show in the end.

    Just bought an ambulance.
    I'm a carpenter, and, had planned to build a similar bed.
    I like the idea of the 3/16" bar stock.
    I was a bit stuck, trying to fire out a way to do the same thing, with wood.
    I couldn't think of anything that was up to my standards, without being overly complicated.

    Great video, THANK YOU!!! I'm going to use this exact design for mine when I'm solo and there will be another hinge on top for when a bigger bed is required that will flip out and then we will able to lay with our feet down there looking out the box and door windows. I think I can find a mattress that won't be affected by a half inch difference in the base for solo mode. Thanks again...from Northern Vermont!

    Great video. I've done this exact design in my fishing shack/tiny home. I Have to take apart the movable slats though as they are way to tight sliding back into couch mode. I think I will do like you and put a 45 on the end to help it to start to go to the home position

    I'm doing the same thing with my ambulance this video is very helpful keep up the filming you are helping builders everywhere alot. Please do an in depth video on the wiring like how to trace the wires,wire switches everything about wiring i know a bit but looking at the panel in mine got me lost how do i redo the wires from the big panel and get rid of what I don't need. Any videoes you can recommend. Looking forward to your upcoming videos good luck on the build I hope you document it all.

      Thank you! We started this project in November, and have quite a few videos out on it, and wiring will be coming soon! We are not going the typical route, but one I strongly would suggest for ambo owners. Next video coming out will be beginning the electrical

      I can't wait already started making the bed. Trying to figure out where I'm going to put the Diesel heater and 400ah of lithium batteries. I'm thinking under the bed cause there's a lot of room under there but then the problem of where to run wires

      This past week we finished up initial mock ups of the diesel heater system and will be showing that very soon as well as electrical! We are doing a whole separate electrical system than the original ambo that is very simple and I hope that will help you. Look for those videos in the coming weeks here as the weather breaks!

  • @SybrenOerlemans
    @SybrenOerlemans 3 года назад +1

    Awesome video and super smart design! Small idea for improvement for your videos? Maybe invest in an external microphone? I don't know if you already use one but the audio inside the van is a bit weird, which is only natural of course, given it's a small space. Keep the videos coming! :D

    • @smallspacedesignco.9098
      @smallspacedesignco.9098  3 года назад +1

      Thank you Syb! I do have a Rhode directionally external mic on there, there ambulance is just full gutted right now and very echo-y... that will be changing soon! It does sound a bit weird because the voice overs are done in an insulated box which sounds amazing

    Can you tell me what type screws you used for the frame and the slats? I'm going to start making this exact bed this week and you have made it look easy! Do you poly the boards at all to seal them and stop from getting splinters?
