These are hands down the best design I’ve seen on RUclips for fold down bunks. If you don’t have time to make them for sale You should patent these and license them out. Outstanding work
Thanks. If I had the time I would. Working full time, being a husband and dad... takes it all....lol. if I was a full time youtube guy then I would be set.
Yea i would love to buy 2 sets bunkbed off from you! One for me on the bottom, one for my wife on the bottom and 2 of my boys up top! When m camping i dont want to b CUDDLE!!!!!! Too busy to CAMP 🤪😜
Still the best system I've seen so far doing some research. Excellent steel fabrication workmanship. Light weight, strong, compact, simple. Bravo dude.
When I first saw these bed designs I thought it was going to be complicated and hard to follow your instructions but I have to say your video is very concise, thoroughly explained and demonstrated. Thank you for such a professional presentation, your hard work is appreciated.
@@watsonst04 100% best bed design for a expedite cargo van love the bunk bed design those foot support can withstand alot of weight I saw one similar to yours but it didn't have the heavy duty foot support, just one more thing the single bed design seems a bit low don't you think other than that it's perfect great build love it
@@nomadexpress , did you notice how close to the ceiling it was when folded away? To get it higher when deployed would require a more complicated system where it pivots out and up as it deploys. Take a look at the Sun-lite 21TH or Sun-Lite 24TH to see how their murphy bed deploys.
Thanks!! I've had several reach out to me about them. Just hard to make a business now days as everyone is looking for hand out and ready for a easy lawsuit.
@Mikeslocation The big boys are taking notes to present it to the public as their own creation. Don’t worry, you will be seeing it mass produced on the market for sale very soon!!!
@@watsonst04 You should act on it brother, cause someone could actually get it right, and have a company make them for them and they could be making money off your design. I bet you could replace your 9-5 selling these kits!
Brilliant and so well explained, I needed a fold up bed in the nose of my horse float and everyone has said its not possible. I tried to explain my idea which was very similar to this and no one understood. Now I can show them, just need to learn to weld and no more putting up camp beds after a 10hr drive
Excellent design. One thing that would make putting the frame onto the hinges easier. Offset one of the posts so you can get one barrel started, just an 8th of an inch or so and then you can line up the other one and slide the whole thing on.
Man! Fantastic ideas and execution! Thank you for putting this out there for everyone to see. I think I'm going to try to replicate this in my trailer.
This is such a user friendly video. Thank you so so much! I’m so excited to be able to build my own one day and feel so confident in being able to follow your design. Great job!
Thanks. Yea making it out of square tubing makes it ridiculous strong... maybe too strong...lol. you may could do it outta aluminum...idk. mine are not light at all..
Hey, just want to thank you for your bunk bed design, glad to say you have created a second great one in my trailer, Excellent! I also built one in my cargo trailer, very similar. I welded Aluminum material to build mine, Very light and strong Yes, I put my flavor on it but give you 100% credit, for the idea design. I wish I could share it with you and the world but I'm not very good at posting stuff on RUclips. Thank you again your a Bad Ass!
Very professional, nice design, you also did a nice job finishing them - cleaning up the welds, paint etc. Appears you have some nice animal "helpers". Thanks for showing us this .
Nice work. Clean and not too heavy. I may add a vinyl cover that rolls up to the ceiling. It’s dusty where I plan to go. This design checks all the boxes for me. 👊🏼
That is a great system my friend. You take pride in your work because it looks better than any system I have ever seen before. Keep up the awesome work and content for your channel. I hope you and your family stay happy and healthy. Good luck.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes I put a lot of time just sitting there drawing everything up, before I even bought materials. I'm also a little OCD and can't stand going crappy/thrown together work..... drives me nuts!!!
@@watsonst04 I'm the same with carpentry. It makes people who don't have patience go crazy waiting. When I am done my project they understand why I am such a perfectionist. Great work, OCD stands for "quality made products".
That is amazing! The way you did that just works so well! Thank you so much! I was thinking about bed placement and I didn't want a Murphy bed. With this DIY set up and the construction it opens up my mind. Thank you so much!!
I like it! I’m not a welder, but I’m sure I can find someone near by. I’d need to make my bed fold out horizontally since I only have a 6’ ceiling but hey, that fine too, I’ve been looking at the “wood” kits, but I know that’s gonna be a lot more weight using lumber. Again, that’s for your detailed description AND sharing with all of us.
Thanks, well you can just make it like the bunk beds just adjust the legs and locking points different. I not sure with the weight difference, but I wouldn't trust a wood frame as much.
Thank you, that is what I needed to have a folding bed. I only need a single bed, so I want it close to the floor then build a shelf over the top that will be higher then regular counter top, but can still be very useful.
I have been looking at video on trailer conversion for the last 2 months. By far 1 of the best set up for Murphy style bed. And by far the ONLYYY 1 IN THE INTERNET as a Combo reg. Bed n bunk bed. You really went to a LEVEL NO ONE has BEEN. 🤪🤪💪💪. Would be nice if you can do Pdf file on the plans and sell them. I would be the 1st to purchase. I have a 34ft camper now, but always wanted to do a conversion, my buddy is doing one now. N this is great Thx for the share of the video
Thanks... I almost took me as long to design it as it did to build it. I could do a PDF of the beds, but every matress is different (it's crazy how many different types there are when you look for camper ones). That's why I tried to explain it the best I could so the process could be adapted to any matress someone may have. If you need more info or have a question.... just reach out to thewatsongarage@yahoo.com and I'm happy to help if I can.
I'm interested to see the exterior of the trailer (how you mounted through the wall) and in particular how you prevent water intrusion. Is caulk sufficient? Did you use some big washers or metal bars or something to keep the bolts from pulling through the wall?
This is a really good tutorial & I think that you've come up with really clever ideas. Another way to make figuring out where to place holes on long legs easier would be after you've measured from the edge, to drop a plumb line to try the angle & verify the hole placement.
Great video my friend, that is really going to help with my build. I think instead of horse panel, I am going to use webbing to cut down a little on weight.
Thanks! Yea I almost drilled the entire border with holes and do a tight hammock style, but was at Tractor supply one day and see them and though it would be easier.
Id put some steel plates under the hinges that make holding bed frame easier when you put back on hinges, if the frame can be set on the steel plates in line with hinges would make doing that by urself much easier, also on that bottom bunk, you could build a fold down back on it like a sofa back that can be folded up for a sofa back, then back down for a bed mode, but youd have have a matress that folds in half.
Awesome design. Lots if ideas will be stolen from you. From experience...when attaching the bed base to the mount you said you had problems with the hinges. Solution...make one of the hinge pins either longer or shorter than the other. That way one of them holds while you line up the other.
Hope u kept blueprints along way with all exact measurements, because thats easily a 1000$ set up on those bunks by themselves, if u could sell the plans, or make sell the whole kits, i would definitely be interested, i know alot other folks would to
Super clean build on cargo trailer just wounded where You got Mattresses and what sizes did You get I need same thing You have done one big bed , and bunk’s
Awesome build, very well done, sir! I noticed some squeaking on the bunk bed when you raised it up, a nylon bushing in-between the legs, and the frame may help with that and preserve that nice paint job. Thanks for posting!
My utility trailer has a similar hinge setup, and it was impossible to reattach the gate by myself UNTIL... I shortened one pin by half an inch. Now I can get the long pin side started, and then still have a small gap to get the second hinge inserted. FAR easier!!!
Best food down bed design I’ve seen! I’m wondering the difference between wood and the metal. This metal set up looks maybe lighter than wood. Anywho great job!
I’m literally going to copy your design. Now I have to find the trailer. That’s perfect. Did you do any Black or grey tanks. If so where did you put them !
Yes! I have watched SO many of these trying to find one even close to what I need. So many perfect little solutions to make it work so well together. Do you have any idea how much weight this system adds to your trailer? I don't weld, but not sure I even want to build using wood, because wood can get heavy too. I need to sleep 6 so contemplating split queen fold up bunk beds in the back instead of Murphy bed style. BTW, I am a drafting designer and have been thinking of contracting out to design stuff exactly like this. You said you didn't have time to draw it up, but let me know If your interested in selling them. I bet we could get them drawn up.
2" angle iron is 3.2 lbs per linear foot. The "mesh" is .9 lbs per sqf. So, that double bed frame is just under 100lbs, not counting the wall mount. 3.5lbs per foot is a safe estimate on the 2" square tube.
Thanks... I tried to make it the best I could. Yes the beds can really be made any way, so it's easy to flip them a different direction. I wouldn't do wood, just because it's not as strong as metal and probably wouldn't be as compact either. Yes I could probably make these too others..... just sometimes people want the world handed to them for pennies on the dollars and never happy with what ever they get.
This is the best idea that I have seen. I have a cargo trailer like yours and have a question pertaining to you screwing the angle iron on the wall. You said you had plywood and beadboard that you screwed to. My question is, did you also align angle iron brackets with the wall studs?
Thanks! When I screwed the beds to the walls I used lag bolts as they have alot of bite vs your standard screws (I also spaced them out every 6 inche). Between using lag bolts and the number used it would take about of force to rip them off the wall. Also the plywood is securely fasten to the metal frame of the trailer as well.
These are hands down the best design I’ve seen on RUclips for fold down bunks. If you don’t have time to make them for sale You should patent these and license them out. Outstanding work
Thanks.. I wish I had time
I’d buy one for shre
YeH these are unreal. Make it happen big money for motocross vans
I agree with everyone else, you could make proper money with this design. Great work OP.
Awesome Video, thank you! Murphy beds in a trailer, Great idea!
Excellent bed set-up....best design I've seen on the internet.....you might consider making and selling kits for both size beds, I'd buy one!
Thanks. If I had the time I would. Working full time, being a husband and dad... takes it all....lol. if I was a full time youtube guy then I would be set.
Yea i would love to buy 2 sets bunkbed off from you! One for me on the bottom, one for my wife on the bottom and 2 of my boys up top! When m camping i dont want to b CUDDLE!!!!!! Too busy to CAMP 🤪😜
I would happily buy this set up from you already premade lol
I would love it if there were at least drawings of these! Great work creating these beds!
Definitely man if you looking to sell a few sets I’ll buy 3 of the full size beds from you
Still the best system I've seen so far doing some research. Excellent steel fabrication workmanship. Light weight, strong, compact, simple. Bravo dude.

Thanks, yes I have a little OCD on certain things... I tried to make it as nice as I could.
Great job on building the beds and showing how you built them
Thanks... hopefully it helped some people out there
Thing strapped to the Thing. Good job Mister. I like it.
Extremely creative space saving solution!!! Thanks for sharing!
Your Welcome!!
Thanks - gives me some good ideas. Looks heavy though. I think some of it could be lumber too.
2x3 with hinges and a cable at each end
Best video I've seen on DIY trailer beds for a toy hauler. Will work perfectly for elk camp once you pull the side by side out of the trailer.
FREAKIN AWESOME!!! This is exactly what I will be needing for my trailer! Great job!!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for making an detailed video on your beds! I watched your other video on your camper too.
Thanks for watching and I hope it help you in some way. I know a lot of people wanted the video!!
This vid gives me an idea to make a fold down bed /couch that mounts under a bunk bed in a 6x10 cargo trailer.
Nice work. Clean and not too heavy. I may add a vinyl cover that rolls up to the ceiling. It’s dusty where I plan to go. This design checks all the boxes for me. 👊🏼
Thanks, glad I could help!
Check out this video on keeping the dust out: "RV Life Hack - Keeping the Dust Out Of Your Camp Trailer". Hope this helps.

Ok I see now that you used metal for the legs. Thanks and great job. You need to make these to sell because you did great work.
Thanks! Only problem with selling is there's always that 1 person that you can never make happy that ends up suing you..

Thanks!
Tidy cleaver bed system , good job 🏴👋🏻
Yes, I've had a lot of people reach out to me over the idea. Several people wanted me to build them as well.
What thickness angle iron did you use? Hows it holding up? Anything you would do diffrently?
You have the best bed setup. Thanks been trying to figure out and find a good bed. You made a great one! Love that you kept it simple!

Man thank you so much for sharing this, it really open my eyes to new ideas, it looks awesome!!
Glad to help!
This is a really good tutorial & I think that you've come up with really clever ideas.
Another way to make figuring out where to place holes on long legs easier would be after you've measured from the edge, to drop a plumb line to try the angle & verify the hole placement.
Thanks... I'll try that on my next build.
Plumb line in a trailer? I would think a square would work better unless you know you have the trailer perfectly level front to back and side to side.
Nice job. Thank you, from the Central valley of California.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is amazing! The cat in the back is so funny😹
Thanks! Yea that's my buddy!
This is the best idea I have seen. Do you have plans that I could download? I would like to try this. Truly the best.
No, sorry. 100% custom
Damn dude. What a fantastic design. Well done and thank you for sharing!🙌
Thank you. I have been looking for something like this for ever.
It's pretty easy as long as you have the tools.
Great video my friend, that is really going to help with my build. I think instead of horse panel, I am going to use webbing to cut down a little on weight.
Thanks! Yea I almost drilled the entire border with holes and do a tight hammock style, but was at Tractor supply one day and see them and though it would be easier.
This is an awesome design. I so need these for my kids
Id put some steel plates under the hinges that make holding bed frame easier when you put back on hinges, if the frame can be set on the steel plates in line with hinges would make doing that by urself much easier, also on that bottom bunk, you could build a fold down back on it like a sofa back that can be folded up for a sofa back, then back down for a bed mode, but youd have have a matress that folds in half.

Thanks.... glad I could help
Amazing bed setup. Looks better than anything you could buy you definitely have great talent and ideas.
Glad you like it!
Very solid build! I like how its removable too!
Thanks, one trailer can do it all. At least that was my plan for it!
Awesome design. Lots if ideas will be stolen from you. From experience...when attaching the bed base to the mount you said you had problems with the hinges. Solution...make one of the hinge pins either longer or shorter than the other. That way one of them holds while you line up the other.
Thanks!! I did eventually come back and shorten 1 pin on each side. Works a lot better. Thanks for the help!
Great Work mate. Maybe you can put gas struts on the bunk frame to help lifting it in the stored position.
Great idea... they could be added on if needed. For me there not hard, so I went the simple route.
@@watsonst04 simple is better most of the time.
You did a really good job sir.
Thanks!
You mentioned Texas, are you central? I would like to see if you could assist me with my build?
I do live in central Texas, it would just depend on what kind of assistance your requesting. Email me @ thewatsongarage@yahoo.com.
Great design(s)…, great fabrication.
Thank you very much!
Great job! One of the best ideas I have seen!!
Thank you! 😊
Nice job man! I was gonna do mine out of wood but love the clean look of that! So may have to go your way! lol
Fantastic design! I may “borrow” it. Thinking I may shorten the hinge stud about a 1/2 inch so they don’t have to start at the same time.
Glad you like them! I ended up cutting one shorter to solve that issue.
dang great idea ima have some custom build like this now.
Glad you like them!
Great idea and exicution. Nice job in presentation as well
Thanks for watching
Hope u kept blueprints along way with all exact measurements, because thats easily a 1000$ set up on those bunks by themselves, if u could sell the plans, or make sell the whole kits, i would definitely be interested, i know alot other folks would to
Super clean build on cargo trailer just wounded where You got Mattresses and what sizes did You get I need same thing You have done one big bed , and bunk’s
Thanks, I ordered the mattresses off Amazon.
Awesome build, very well done, sir! I noticed some squeaking on the bunk bed when you raised it up, a nylon bushing in-between the legs, and the frame may help with that and preserve that nice paint job. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the great video. Excellent design and explanation.

My utility trailer has a similar hinge setup, and it was impossible to reattach the gate by myself UNTIL... I shortened one pin by half an inch. Now I can get the long pin side started, and then still have a small gap to get the second hinge inserted. FAR easier!!!
I ended up doing that shortly after I made the video... it was a pain before!! I have never taken the bed off again though...lol.
Nice suggestion
Great lay out. Taper the hinge pins a bit on the ends, so it's not as difficult to line them up.
Solid and clean. Nice set-up.
Thanks!
that's a good slick system you did there....
Nice video and great ideas. You can hang folding wooden tables to your beds ....
Thank you for making this video, amazing job with the camper beds!!
Good job dude! I'm going to make mine just like you did, thanks.
Have fun! If you have any questions let me know!!
Best food down bed design I’ve seen! I’m wondering the difference between wood and the metal. This metal set up looks maybe lighter than wood. Anywho great job!
You are very skilled, great job.
Love this design and had thought about doing something similar, but this seems like it would be incredibly heavy? How much do you figure it weighs??
Young man that is an amazing idea. Well done congratulations. You may want to start making kits and sell them.
Nice work! Makes me think about other options for my trailer
Thanks... feel free to steal any ideas of mine you want.. LOL!!! That's what I'm here for!!
That is freakin awesome! Sure wish I knew how to weld and had the floor space to create that.
Wow, a lot of work and looks fantastic!
Best bed setup..beats those lift style beds typical on toy haulers.
