BIG Bed in SMALL Van: Special Layout ON TOP of Kitchen / How to Build / Mercedes T1 Van Conversion

We found an unusual solution to have a (partially) fixed bed in our small Mercedes T1 van, but also a big kitchen and a dinette with views. We don't extend the bed on top of a mid-mounted dinette, but on top of the kitchen cabinet. This has several advantages which I will explain. Of course, we will show you in detail how we built the bed and also what products and materials we used.

Durch "Zufall" habe ich Deinen Kanal heute entdeckt. Und bin begeistert. So viele coole Anregungen und Produktempfehlungen. Super. Vielen Dank. Wir sind gerade selbst dabei, einen 4x4 Sprinter auszubauen. Gerne greife ich Deine Anregungen auf und adaptiere sie. Super Job! Viele Grüße, Klaus.

Thank you for uploading these videos. It is a pleasure to see you work 👍

[@AmarisJaneNYC]

Always love your videos! You give me so many ideas on how to approach my own van build in the USA!
I suggest that you remind people to turn on the notification bells. I haven't seen you guys in awhile, and today just realized you posted two videos and I had no idea.

[@CubeofCars]

Thank you! That's a good idea! :)

Einfach nur ultra professionell 👍 da ich gerade dran bin wieder umzubauen und die Bett Idee sehr gefällt, wie dick bzw. welche stärke haben die Alu L-Profile?😇

[@CubeofCars]

Hallo Andre, wir haben dieses L-Profil verwendet:

Viel Spass bei deinem Umbau :)

I'm impressed by the conversion, klasse👍 Is there a reason why you did not make a slide so in 1 move the bed is ready? (I mean the one you see often in pickup truck camperunits)

[@CubeofCars]

Thanks! A slide-out would indeed be faster, but it would cost about 10cm of height of my drawers and cabinet under the bed which I didn't want to sacrifice :)
