The perfect van conversion with collapsable bed and kitchen area!

- Опубликовано: 18 апр 2017
- This is a build-out I did on my friends Chevy Express Van. He wanted to have an area in the back that doubled as a bed/board storage box for multiple surf and snowboards. But was able to extend out and turn into a pretty much full-size bed which is 4ft wide and 7ft long. He also wanted some sort of cabinet with a countertop on the right to be able to cook or work on top of. From those ideas I was able to come up with this design that works perfectly for all his needs! The seat in the front is stock and removable if needed to create more room for a longer trip or moving anything!
If you are wondering what everything is covered in, it's a carpet material. Here is a video explaining what it is, how to get it, and how to attach it: • Lets talk van conversi...

ABOUT ME I grew up in a cabinet shop and was born to be a woodworker. In the past few years when work slowed in the custom cabinet industry, I converted a few friends Vans and SUV's so they had more storage for adventuring, work, or just the weekend beach getaway. Before I knew it I had my own business making people's ideas come to life. I design and build all kinds of custom woodwork and vehicles here at my shop in Huntington Beach, California!

This format is the best I have seen . You can sleep and sit in the bed . Much more freedom
Very nice build. Not overly complex, but extremely functional and versatile.
Thanks I appreciate that is what we were going for!
you have so many things right. this is a smart, and economical conversion. it is practical, and doesn't come off as a luxury camper that thieves might want to break into. Congratulations, man. Your design is well proven and tested,
This came out great. One of the most practical builds I’ve seen.
Really like the build. The sleeping area and the hidden cubbies are great. Very neat, plenty of storage.
I'm building a bed tomorrow in the van and I had no idea what I was going to do, this is by far the best simple genius bed build I have seen and I'm doing tomorrow, you have saved my life dude 👍😀
Where you live ?
I like how you did the bed but, the piece you took out, could've easily been hinged and serve as the back to lean on of the bench and you wouldn't have to worry about putting away when there's already stuff stored under it.
Little tip if I may. Rub a candle on the parts of the drawers that are making contact when you open and close them. This will reduce the friction and make them work far better!
I dont want to make it easier, because then the drawer will fly open and it contents will be all over the van any turns or bump he hits. Yes if this drawer was in a house that would be the case!
I've watched countless videos of different van setups and this is one of the cleanest builds I've seen yet. Really smart design and your craftsmanship is top-notch!
Someone says that on every vanlife video haha
@@mrlepercon Literally every time. And 99 times out of 100 its blatantly untrue. As with _this_ van.
Wow...functional, practical and I’m thinking economical. So far, the best minimalist set-up I’ve seen.
Making a functional kitchen is the biggest challenge inside a van. One day I'll hit upon the perfect combo.
I have to admit that is one the better looking camper/vans i have seen, great work
Excellently built, I been looking into doing this my self and still making it function, but will definitely have to have a tv, and all the other stuff i need to make the trip more comfortable. overall, its perfect and neat. i esp love that you have the back seats in as well.
Nice minimalist build. Just what I am looking for. Basically a place to sleep inside the vehicle an to store my camping gear. Wish you were in my neighborhood, you would have a new order now. Thanks for showing us your craftsmanship. Good luck!
Great job.. Simplicity is key! A lot of people put sinks, toilets and closets in their vans and it's just too much, they roundup looking cluttered. The collapsible bed is awesome!!
Love the work you've done. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in your travels.
simple and sensible design, clean and functional carpentry. excellent.
Sweet!. Like retention of 2nd seat, and creation of easy conversion from daybed to sleeping mode. Plus can crash on daybed if more suitable. For my needs, I'd probably rob 2nd seat space to add more storage and enable more options for independent van life. Great job!
Absolutely beautifully done! Well thought out in every detail!
that's sweet dude! when I first saw the bed taking up the whole back I thought that was dumb until you took that small price off and moved the bed, that's awesome man
Great looking van camper
Super clean and really well done. Saving this one for the remodel down the road! Great job man!
... “that’s what she said”
Nice build. The 3-way drawer 👌🏼
Really nice job on your conversion.
Very nice! I just got a Ford e350 super duty cargo van... I haven't done anything to except change the front tires and license it, which involved reclassifying it for non-commercial use.. I have a lot of materials I need for the build, and I am so excited about it!!
monkeynumber nine did you build it?
I have the same van and want to set it up like this because I have 3 kids under age 5 , so I need to leave at least the front bench seat , for getting them around As it is now each kid has there own row! Lol they love the van !!
That looks totally great and professional. Thanks.
Beautiful work.
Sweet job. Nice work and I really like the simplicity.
This dude is very talented. Too bad that he can't do my Van due to living in another state. Great wood work.
Nice work! I like the various storage spaces you worked into the build.
It’s perfect for what I would do . Cool . Great work
The best most sensible fit out...
Wow! This is excellent multi purpose vehicle!
Some great ideas, nicely done! Like what you did with the bed to be able to store longer gear!
Good job. Clean. Nice finishing touches. God bless you.
Great design for work and play 👍🏽
Very well executed, from layout to the craftsmanship! Nicely done sir!
Very nice build. Looks very professional
Nice. The countertop turned out especially nice.
Very nice!
allright great design!....i'll be "remodeling" my van this summer and probably do something very similar! thank you! ......c
Looks good. Build a small shelf or cleat system under the bed platform so you can slide the other flat piece in and out. This way you can store and use it no matter how much stuff you have in there.
I was thinking the same thing.
Love this may be the best I have seen so simple!😍
Very nice work!
Very nice setup
SANO !!! thats what Im interested in doing to my truck build, maybe with a sink, excellent work !
Pretty well laid out and functional 👍🏻
Great work and very well designed. Great use of all the space!!!!
Exactly how I would do mine . Well done !
Nice carpentry. When you did the little trick with the pull out storage, where it levers toward you and you pull it out too, I was thinking some black magic was at play. Turns out it detaches completely. Nice idea
+Unstoppable Tramp thank you! Yes that was a little trick I got from a weekend warrior toy hauler trailer my family has!
Nice and creative.
Looks real good man. Really like the full bed arrangement.
Love your build, very neat and I think for me it's perfect! 😀🤩
Very clean and good craftsmanship
super clean design and execution.
Wow very nice!
Pretty cool .I love it.
It's huge ,tons on space🚀
nice setup!
Great design! This is exactly what I’m thinking would work well for our family adventures. Would love to see more about how he uses it and hear about how the design functions for him. Great work as always Brian! -Mike

I love the build!
Very cool design that’s an amazing camper van
You do excellent work. Thanks for sharing.
Last summer I took out my bed added Coleman folding cot and chair with small end table giving me much more head room.
Clever build!
You did a great job on that van!
Great setup! Cheers!
That is an awesome set up!
Very nicely done.
