I Built the Ultimate Camper Conversion Bed for my TINY Van
In my last video, I attempted to build a converting bed from an existing IKEA couch. I ultimately quit this build after making way too many moving parts and creating a complicated build that I didn't think would be very practical. Now I'm back with a new bed design which can be the most simple and convenient bed design I've ever made.

Uploading 2 days in a row. It’s a miracle
I am not mad about it. Well done! Love the result. But RIP my ears whenever you start the tools ... 🎧😱
BRO CAN WE TALK G. PLEASE.
😅 nice work 😁
The benefits of making contact with your future self. 😉
Nice! keep them coming"
Love the reuse. No waste!
I try to reuse as much material as possible
It's coming along nicely. While your skills are impressive, I think you're design aesthetic is even more impressive. 👍🏽
I appreciate that thank you!
agreed
Hey DualEx, thanks to your videos I just bought my first Van and I will be converting it before Burning man this year. I'm stoked, so thanks for all the detailed work you have shown us over the past few years!
Really smart! Thank you for filming the different steps. I wondered why you made a few choices early in the build but you were so thorough in what and how you filmed it that the reason became very apparent and your solutions were genius. I learned a few things in the video as well and was unfamiliar with the circ saw with the cutting guide and I did not immediately recognize your jig saw. You have definitely improved on the bed design!
Amazing design!! Add a lock washer on the rail hardware.
I have a low transit and you have given me the solution for the space under the bed and my shelves. Sliding panels. Brilliant. Great work. ❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Love your calculated, meticulous creativity. Thanks for all the great ideas.
Your skills are out of this world!! Well done!!!
Thanks so much for the video , i have always thought that abed that folds up into a couch would be better to save space when the bed wasn't being used, many campers have a full size bed in place all the time taking up a lot of space. very nice design . Appreciate all your videos and your talent !
Another tip on cutting the foam, is using an electric meat knife, it cuts through it like butter and allowsbyou to easy roybd out corners for a orofessional look. That's basically what professional upholsterers use. My mother was a professional same stress and upholsterer. You can pick one up for about $10 at any local Walmart.
I love your brilliant creativity with your builds of course. But I would like to also address the beautiful creativity of your videos. My goodness these are so well filmed.
When I bought my van it had a similar bed that filled the entire floor space. I quickly realised that having to get out to pull the bed out, get out to put clothes on etc was totally impractical. Now I have an 80cm wide bed down one side.
Beautiful woodworking though 👍
You are from another galaxy dude, keep it up!
Your skills are incredible. Keep up the fantastic carpentry, electrical, plumbing skills that you have and thanks for sharing.
Love the content, awesome use and reuse with no waste, great skill and job😉👍
Thank you! I try to reuse as much material as I can if I need to do a rebuild
That's a brilliant design. I like all the hardware you chose
Possibly the finest workmanship I have ever seen. Outstanding!
Nice shop and build. Looks comfy cozy! Great gear, and you know how to use it well. Props!
Such an awesome project and incredibly ideal for what I need at the moment, as I contract and live away from home. With raising costs of accommodation, etc it would save me the expense. When you’ve finished this build, would you be uploading or be willing to sell the design of it? as I would like to duplicate this for myself.
WOW. just found your channel. You are so impressive! Not only your talent for carpentry and design but for producing the video itself. Well done! 👍🏻. Can’t wait to see more. 😊
Talented AF bro! Ive got a tip for cutting bed foam for you- use a bread knife! Honestly cuts like butter and straight edges.
Every build you turn your hand to is cracking 👷♂️ 👌
Legit super talented, it’s a pleasure watching you, that bed is so good. All the best from England U.K.
Your designs always amaze me
I love watching your videos, you are so talented. I wish you would explain each step of your builds with measurements and all for others to copy. I too have a Transit Connect but have no skills so watching your videos makes me dream of what could happen to my van...lol Thanks for sharing
The only way to learn is to try. Your 1st attempt may fail, but thats learning.
Such a pleasure watching you work. Your marksmanship and attention to detail is fabulous. 😊
Nice work !I love to see young people working with their brain and hands ! THANKS 😊
Very impressive build. So professional and beautifully designed. Subscribed to your channel.
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I don’t know much about building beds in van’s but it sure looks like one heck of a good design and execution of that design....
Nice. You're getting better and better. Salute...
nice build mate looks great, giving me some ideas for mine, im still a long way off its just a empty shell at the moment
I am watching all the videos i couldnt watch because of work commitments . Thank you .
I love your work. Just a thought - some people use an electric turkey knife to cut foam.
Keep making amazing videos.
I'd love to commission you to make me a van someday!
You are really good at this! One of the best.😊
Brilliant design.
Your videography just keeps getting better and better! As do your builds! Love your videos!
Nice video! , try brad nailing and glue together first, then secure with your screws to tighten, will be a lot more precise!
Your videos are very inspiring, and it's nice to see how your wood working skills have evolved over all of your builds.
Awesome 👏 very creative and so functional!
great video . great couch /bed saving space combo. two thumbs up!!
You are an amazing craftsman.
Looking great, man. I built a similar one last year, but didn't think of the rope! 👍.
Dude you’re like the new Norm Abraham, Remember him. Excellent stuff 👍👍
Creative. Inventive. Resourceful. Noice!
Glad you decide to change the bed. The first one was a good idea but this one is ten times better.
love it! you are doing such creative work!
YOU ARE FREAKIN' AMAZING!!! 👏 🙀 😯 😮 I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO! SO EFFING TALENTED!!!
Before watching this I was planning a similar build in my van. I really like the drawer slides as a portion of the bed. I am very curious how this will work / hold up when climbing into bed with it open? Wouldn't the leverage create extra stress on it?
Also, what plywood are you using that is structural enough for your weight? Thanks!
I get very inspired to work on my van after watching your vids which is sad because I have zero build skills but I have made improvements and I love your videos.
An electric knife makes cutting foam really easy. Makes really clean cuts too.
this content on this channel is very inspiring with useful information
My goodness, you are so smart and strong.
Intelligent design!
amazing work! God bless you and yours!
You hooked that up!!!!
Great job , next time try cutting the foam with a sharp bread knife. Much nicer cuts for you.
I get so inspired by what you do, then I remember I have zero skills to do it. hahahhaha. Still so satisfying to see what you create.
Give it a try! I wasn’t always good at building I just got better over time. Thanks for watching the videos and I’m glad you enjoy them!
Same!!! 😂
Always interesting to see other's builds. I went like you .. built out a nice bed and cabinets and a year later it's all gone. Took up too much space. I now have it setup so I can exchange everything from one rig to another .. have an old Ford Explorer 4x4 and a Subaru Crosstrek .. both are set up for overlanding. I love your use of wood glue! LOL Nice job. 🤠
Impressive. I enjoyed watching
Another amazing video. Thank you 🙏🏾🇬🇧🇺🇸
That bed is dope nice job
Maybe you should have store that fridge under the bed on a slide with a handle to pull it out. I’m short It could be good for a short senior . Man Ex you just keep trying things and making it look easy. Lol
During a zombie apocalypse. I got dibs on you man, I would want you on my team.
That's a really nice rock and roll bed. I kept waiting for FutureDual to show up- lol.
Looks good, thanks.
You are so talented! Have you ever done any food truck renovation?
Sweet work. Genius
Ah love your build mate. Your a skilled word worker too. I'm going to build a van when prices drop. So hopefully next summer.
Nice job dude. You’re very ingenious and quite a craftsman. 🤙🏼
you have come a very long way with your wood working skills
Loving the videos like always. Which app do you use to make your furniture layout?
Love your design..
I LOVE IT, THANK YOU
Your gettn way gooder at this lol I like it!
You always give your creations that special flavor unique to you. One quick editing tip, hope you don't mind. Don't know what editing software you use, but it's good to normalize your audio levels. Especially between the tool audio and the dialogue levels. I constantly had my finger on the volume buttons throughout the video :P Keep it up! Love the stuff!
Outstanding.
That’s perfect. I was looking at doing a happy Jack. This will save me a lot of money. Also give me a seat to sit on. So happy I follow you. Keep up the great work my friend
Well done! Goodonyas!!!
Amazing build! wow
Love your videos, Stay safe
Thanks!
An electric turkey carver knife might help with cutting the cushions for the mattress.
Bed could have been lower overall but looks great man. Top work!
Man, you're a genius. Your craftmanship is exquisite, awesome. Love your tools but what are tools without the hands that use them. Keep it up. Being following your channel.
Malaysia.
amazing!! great job
This is a really terrific design.
I like your videos because they're so clear. Thanks for the extra effort that this must take to make the reasoning for your designs and these steps so clear.
Also really nice music. What was the music at the 12:57 to 14:06?
You could potentially make some improvements to this design. Check out the bed/futon in the Vistabule teardrop trailers. Similar concept although it lays along the floor instead of off the ground like yours.
I’ve been talking about doing this forever - thank you for the inspiration!! After several jeep rebuilds I know I’m great at tear down and driveline build but it’s the interior that I’m scared about haha. So inspiring, you do amazing work! Felt the pain (my own laziness) when you had to rework - very well handled and it turned out been better than I was to start. Also, when cutting the mattress maybe a hot wire would work? I would’ve butchered that thing after like five minutes I’d be tearing it off by hand haha.
I have a close friend in the EV business - they retrofit fleet vans. Can’t help but wish I could do this type of thing full time - is this your full time gig? My friends company sells their ICE and driveline (brand new) then installs all electric drivetrain and batteries. My dream would be to build out one of those vans - but hey, maybe a hookup for new engines and drivetrain if you ever need it for a larger van build. Love it!
Man you have some great designs and skills, I'm sure you have made someone very proud of you. You have some $$$ making abilities here if you want. I am going to keep following your channel. P.S. love your background music.
IMPRESSIVE!!!!
So Cool. I hope you are passing on your skills to the young people. I hope they are viewing this.
Good idea
You the man!!! As usual
I’m
Currently trying to make this build. Brainstorming on how to build the base without solid plywood so I can access storage perpendicular to it.
How are the drawer slides working out? I like the idea of setting up the bed this way. Is there any support once the bed is pulled, out or is open space.below the bed?
Very nice!
Very nice build.
Thank you!
Love it brother, thats whats 💯 up!
