@@alasdaircox Hey, one question, since i plan on making something similar for my kangoo, do you know what is length of bed when its fully opened? I don't have problem with height since i am short (arround 5'8) but i am just curious what is the max height of person to sleep comfortably on bed?
@@srdjanmatic7099 offft now you're asking. 🤔 I'm 5'10 and I was comfy... But only just. I think if you were 6ft you would be feeling a bit... Closed in 🙂
This is fantastic. I can't access the plans on that website though. I have signed up and then never receive a confirmation code. Has anyone got a copy?
hilux58 hiya. Sorry for the late reply. I found a plan on the berlingo forum. www.berlingoforum.com/thread-15697.html The plan is third one down on a thread. Got a list of what I needed and got decor in elgin to pre cut everything to size. Then just went for it. Took two fullish weekends :-) Never built anything before 😆 Hope the helps. Al.
Hi Russell. Sorry for the late reply just been so busy at work. Errrr tbh I don't remember the thickness I used 😕 I do remember thinking it was a bit too thin, especially when I put the holes in it to make it lighter, but it worked very well 🙂 not that that helps answer your question 😐 sorry but I'd be guessing if I gave you a number. Maybe 12mm 🤔
I'm really sorry but I'd be lying if I said I did remember. 🤥 I do remember thinking it wasn't thick enough but it did the job as it was supported by the posts at the bottom or by the back seats. Also, as a added note, I removed the back seats and put in an extra set of supported legs. I did this as we wanted the extra room for clothes etc rather than the back seats which we didn't need whilst travelling for 2 months around Europe.
Greetings from Sweden! Going to try and do a similar build for our euro trip! The plans that you posted on Berlingo forum, do they fit Berlingos from 2008-2018? Thanks in advance!
Hi. Greetings from Scotland. Love Sweden. Fantastic country 😊 Yes I'm sure it does as the Peugeot tepee, in the video, has the same specs as the Berlingo. 🙂
We went for a hard wearing upholstery fabric. So quite thick and stiff so it didn't move too much when sitting on. We got the foam cut to size online so we had two large sections... A third large section was itself cut into three smaller pieces to fit the seats you can see us sitting on. Hope that makes sense 🤔😀
So do I now 🙄😆 at the time it was very much a... Let's go for it. I do remember it cost about 100 pounds for all the wood, plus cushions, and the DIY shop cut everything to size for me. So I basically just had to piece it altogether. I also built an extra support as I removed the back seats to create more room for storage. Not much help I know. I did this just as a little bit of fun. Plans are in the other comments. Hope that's of some help.
Lighten the weight of the actual bed. So easy to assemble. Also...bitt air flow. But really.... Who knows. 🤷♂️😀 If you don't have the tool I would NOT worry 🙂
Hi, I have a berlingo too, any chance you have any plans that you would be willing to share? Planning a trip to South Uist this summer and no way can afford the pre-made conversions! Would be really helpful :) thanks

Carpenter of 40yrs, job well done Sir.
I salute you guys, i was taken aback when i saw prices for those, and honestly, they are relatively easy to make if you have little woodwork skills.
Thank you 🙂 yeah I had no skills but for 100 pounds thought I'd give it a go 😆
@@alasdaircox As they say ''measure twice, cut once'' :D

Hi this fabulous, thanks for the share. I plan on making my own for my fiat doblo. Could I ask what mm ply wood you used? Many thanks Russell

hi, I am making one for my 2012 Doblo. Using 9mm ply as I am hoping cushions will disperse the weight.
Should be 15mm-20mm. But need to cut holes to reduce the weight
Is this a mk3 berlingo?
Hey, great job! I'am going to do the same. Do You remember the thick of the plywood you use?

@@alasdaircox Thank you for answering. Got to get me some materials now, also im going to sew the cushions myself, what fabric would you recommend? :)

@@alasdaircox It does, can't wait to start my own project, thanks for all the info! :)
Hi they what do they call the metal strip that holds the wood together please
Long hinge. With small screws so they don't go all the way through the wood 🙂
Piano Hinge
Hey great video, where did you get the hinges from?
B & Q I think 🤔 not sure I remember 😆 but it was a local DIY store
@@alasdaircox legend!

Hey! This looks great! How did you cut the circles in the plywood?
Thanks
It was a 16 Inch 100mm Forstner Drill Bit... If I remeber correctly. 🙂
@@alasdaircox Wow, thanks for the quick reply!
Intéressant
Do the holes serve a purpose?
