Building a Living Space w/Hidden wall bed in Freezing Temperatures | RV Renovation ep. 4
Yo! Its been a while since my last episode so I appreciate the patience with this one. In this episode, I'm trying to build a living space with an integrated hidden bed inside of the wall while dealing with freezing temperatures and snow storms. This bed is a bit different from a traditional style Murphy bed because of the strange shape of the wall that I'm dealing with in my RV as well as the fact that I'm building bench seats with storage into the base of the bed and housing all of the plumbing and electrical components inside of that bench. Hopefully you all enjoy this video and I hope you all have a happy holiday.

You have a great talent that’s for sure. My dad could do the same thing, just look at something build it and it would fit. It was incredible. He’s no longer here but I remember everything he built. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻👍🏻
Jus thank god
Your dad was a rock star.
God bless you MP. It’s awesome to have those memories with you.
Im glad I could remind you of your father’s work. It’s a great honor thank you
Wish I could afford his talent..I have a no build van but a nice raised bed with storage would be great..this old achy body struggles to turn a screwdriver these days as well as zero talent on the building skills other than cheap bookshelves, lol..mattress on floor n 2 plastic stands for kitchen stuff..bags for clothes..have spare tire inside van which hogs up space where I could put a small dresser..but van has lots of rust so trying to find a new place to put tire outside bc mechanic says I prob can't put it back up under van..but..hes kind of an ass..I looked under van and I don't see issues where the tire goes so...???
Love your work and creativity! Thank you for sharing. I do reupholstering as a hobby, and was taught to stretch and tack my fabrics, then let them sit for several days because they often stretch a little. I'll go back and smooth them out before stapling to get a nice taught surface before stapling, then remove the tacks. Less chance of wrinkles later.
Very good tip! I think I’ll try that method on my next project. Thank you
They make upholstery tacks and a little upholstery hammer for setting and pulling them.
Excellent tip! I have done reupholstery too. I will try that on my next project!
I do upholstery work for a living. First tool you learn to use is a staple puller. After removing hundreds of staples from one piece of furniture, I think some people get paid by the staple. 😉
I just love watching your brain work as you put things together, you don't do the same thing over and over you push yourself to do something different always improving your skillset 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great job. As usual. And your mistake actually ended up with you coming up with a solution that made the bed not only way more stable but the space even more usable . Always enjoy your handy work. You are an artist
"We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents". - Bob Ross
Started watching you when you 1st came out and you were next level (great builds)but now you went way up on your creativity and build technique and I love your photography and editing....congrats 😎🍺
You are so talented and I admire the fact that nothing seems to get you down. You make a mistake and work your way around it. Good show!
I always enjoy/appreciate your direct and no frills approach, as well as not layering a bunch of goofy and annoying free music over the times you’re not speaking. The camera angles and sound recording only seems simple, it is not, and makes an appreciable difference.
I saw that someone in the comments section complained about the drilling being too loud and I sure didn’t find it that way. Take it from me, I’ve had a lot of dental work in my life so I’m an expert. Besides, if construction sounds bother this person they’re here by mistake.
Freezing Temperatures. “Dealing with frozen glue is always cool.” Oh, I can’t be the only one who heard that! Clever man.
I caught that line also and CTFU! That was good. 🤣😅😆
I am a woodworker here, nothing in this video was loud at all. Top notch quality video, all around. 👍
They can't turn the sound done if bothers them???(regarding the person who complained about volume of drilling). Helpless people...want everything done for them...and then think their criticism should be seriously taken?
I love these videos, honestly makes we want to minimize my lifestyle for sure
Absolutely phenomenal such creative abilities and thank you so much for sharing 👏👏👏👏✌️✌️✌️
Thanks for watching 🙏🏽
@@Dualex_Builds I kept checking for an upload wondering what happened! Glad to see you’re finally back making content!
I like how the drawers turned out. Lots of storage, with a clean design👍
Great video as usual. Also, please tell us how you get that excellent camera work while building. Is someone else there or do you maneuver the camera yourself?
I like that you show how mistakes can turn out to be a blessing. I think it's important for people to see that. We are such a "It's got to be perfect" society. You showed how you made it better. Love your talent. God bless, and Happy and healthy 2022!!
Watching your videos, take me back to my dad he had a second grade education, but he could just think about something and do it🤎🌹
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Great build. Can't wait to see the next video.
So cool, was the reason you put holes in the couch cushions just to make it lighter? Or was there another reason
This is done so that the mattress can breathe. If the moisture from the occupants is trapped in the mattress it will grow mold and/or stink.
It's amazing to see you work in such small, tight places!! You are a master!!♥️🖼🔥🔥 Creative AND knowledgeable about tools....just awesomeness 👌🏽.
Really appreciate you sharing all aspects of your builds (+ -). Your problem solving approach for modifications is encouraging because you are great at what you do and you and you just keep thinking, creating and moving forward.
One of the first bed builds I’ve seen with ventilation so the mattress won’t develop mold and /or mildew.
Dual Ex always has great ideas,makes it look easy.
I would love to see you work on a house. I think that would be dope.
Now that you have done a number of conversions what is the best way to insulate walls and floors?
Awesome job. Don't let perfection be the enemy of completing a project. Thanks.
The empty space when you fell out the bed kind of makes me scared as that is the most stressed part for when you get out of the bed. Planning some support under the bed when it's fell down?
Also, phenomenal video as always. Never comment but love what you do! Keep it up man! 👍
Hi buddy, this is awesome as always!! You'd be surprised how much easier it is to cut foam with a bread knife I'd thought :D it's exactly the same as a proper foam knife, just cheap and isn't designated as such haha...plus you're ready to cut some starch for tosstin lol
I get this feeling this guy really knows what he's doing.
You think🤔!
I wish I had half as much talent and skill as this guy🤔! Genius...
Just beautiful work you do man! Mad props to you for the certainly hard work you’ve done and continue to do. As always, a pleasure to see your projects coming along!
I love his work.....but the wood products he used has now exceeded the GWR & GVWR rating for the RV axle and hitch. Both WILL break under that much weight. I guarantee it.
That is why RV manufacturers use thinner, lighter building materials.
First bump he hits, the hitch will break and the axle WILL crumble....on both his large RV and the little one.
And you NEVER leave the RV on the tires if you stay somewhere for longer then a few weeks. Never use the RV tires to stabilize an RV. Bad. Tire rot and warping of the axles can occur. It is vest to lift with the Stabilizer Jack's and put concrete blocks under them, lifting the RV off the tires just enough to rotate the tires. Then you can cover them to protect them from harsh weather.
Living in an RV that sits on the tires is like living on Jello.....the RV jiggles. NO lie.
I am a full time RVer. I have seen it all....😂
Still supporting this channel even though our house got destoyed by super typhoon (signal/category 5) here in Philippines
It has been really cool watching your builds grow and change over the past couple of years. Nice work! (and lots of new tools!)
I agree....but I guarantee that the heavier wood products he used has now exceeded the GWR & GVWR rating fir the RV axle and hitch. Both WILL break under that much weight. I guarantee it.

A joy to watch, especially because you are so safety conscious! Beautiful work so far, loving it, all your skills are coming together on this one😊
Love this, thanks! I've been mentally planning something just like this for months because I didn't like anything else people were doing... this is exactly what I wanted! And I am thoroughly jealous of your shop and tool selection. I look forward to following the rest of what you do!
Bro, I hit that like button before the video even begins. Love your builds!
You are awesome young brother I respect you keep doing what you doing I'm inspired
Great job on your craft you do a great job.
Love watching you build. For the ice problem keep on hand a bag of plain cat litter to sprinkle on the ice. It works wonders.
I love the enigmatic sea captain intros. Love your vids, keep it up.
Cool video, great editing and attention to detail with camera work, I know that takes a lot of time. I really like your ideas for bed and storage, I will definitely steal them for future project. Lol I have a question, what is the advantage of the pocket hole screws as opposed to screwing from the opposite direction through both pieces?
It hides the fasteners for a clean and professional looking project. I've been using my pocket hole jig for over 3 years to build custom furniture.
Your skills are amazing. Keep the videos coming!
So funny.....I was remarking to my 92yo dad a few years ago: "how come nobody uses a Murphy Bed design in a van/RV? I want a TEMPORARY bed- not a 24/7 impediment in my way." As for comfort, I've considered a variety of foams, etc.- but decided to go w/ an air mattress/8", using the onboard air pump to quickly fill it at night. I never wanted a permanent bed in my van; it eats up alot of real estate- that I was only using p/t/8hr. LOVE your can-do attitude and mad SKILLS; kudos!
I’m glad you like the video. It’s very rare to see Murphy beds in vans and RVs because of the shape of the walls in tiny spaces like these. Murphy beds are easy in a house where you have square flat walls with lots of space. It’s very difficult to get a Murphy bed to work with an oddly shaped wall. Even if the wall is curved it’s usually never at a constant rate. It’s very random. I’ve been wanting to put a Murphy bed into the last 4 rigs I’ve built but this was the only one I’ve been able to make work simply because of the walls. It also depends on what else you’re building into the space as well
Looks good, the finger pulls also keep from having handles or pull knobs in your way. Really a smooth look. Thanks for sharing it with us.
That’s definitely a huge benefit in such a small space on top of lowering the cost. Thanks for watching!
I’m almost positive you’ve mentioned you DO NOT do builds for other ppl’s vehicle (any type of vehicle) but I’ll ask in case that answer has changed. 🤣. Has the answer changed? I say it every time, your skills just continue to develop more and more. Keep up the awesome work. Wishing you a Happy New Year (in advance)!!
Thanks for creating content like this. It's quite enjoyable. Keep up the good work. Peace and love
Great idea and design. What works great for cutting foam is an electric carving knife, like you would use on a turkey. Perfect and easy cuts. And I sir, have nothing left for you :D
I look forward to your vids every week!
Thank you for sharing.
You’re so freaking talented mate! Amazing job! I love watching your videos, even though I could never do it to your level of skill - and always oh so slick! Can’t wait to see the finished result. Take care man, love from the UK 🇬🇧 fist👍🏻🙏🏻😎
I love this mans creativity and the little intro scene things
I just can't ignore
The feeling to explore
To go out, and about
And see if there's more
And what life has in store
I want to see everything
What a joy that would bring
To be out on the sound
Away from the ground
Or up in the mountains
To drink from her fountains
Go soaring through the sky's
Away from the lies
Told by wolves in disguise
I want to find my flock
And the key to this lock
Take a long walk
A walk for peace ✌️🕊️
It's the end of my lease
No need for a home.......
For my home.... Is to Rome...🙏🤲🕊️✌️♾️
Just being a Mom (an Embarrassing Mom or EM for short)..... I would be happy to send eye and hearing protection to you for use in your projects. (Saw that you used hearing protection later in your video....I’m such a EM!!) Also VanCity Van rigged up great saw dust collection system too..... PM. You are the best!! PS what type of pocket screw guide do you use? Thanks!!
absolutely amazing work. really enjoy the creativity built ideals. Thanks for sharing .👍🏽
Great vision an amazing skills always a fun experience for me seeing what u come up with keep up the awesome work
Another great video as always. Missed you over the last few weeks . Can’t wait for the next one
Another great video! Of course. Are you in NC? I thought I seen in an older video that you are. Was wondering bc of the snow! I'm in Wake Forest & we haven't gotten any! Love what you did for the drawer pulls. So tired of seeing everyone using the leather! Great concept with the Murphy bed! I know it's going to be nice. I just can't wait to see it!
Thats pretty bad ass, I am trying to come up with some ideas for my sleeper for my semi, I have it off and in my garage and I thought it would be cool to have a fold out queen size bed for in there incase my wife wants to come with occasionally, probably going to steal some of these ideas, you should (if you haven't already) do a video on your shop setup, I have started getting into the dewalt 20-60v cordless stuff and it is pretty impressive
I do enjoy watching all your build series and enjoy the education that you project in doing all things right.
Dualex you’re awesome. What kind of price will I. Be looking at for a metal box roof raise. Usind that matel you made your truck camper out of. Thank You. My name will lead you to send me a message
Aww man. Awesome drop down bed bro. And I am so sorry that you struggled with it on your own
Perfect though bud. Very well put together. Fantastic video. Keep up this great work 👍👍
Love your creativity. As always enjoy you videos and thanks for sharing.
What a great solution! Thanks for walking us through it.
The tiny camper build is my favorite build to date. You really came up with some wood working magic with this one. My only disappointment is you never showed the final revel?
This young man is brilliant. I am very excited about seeing the final results.
Keep up the great work...
That was so satisfying completing the design in the freezing..remarkable Merry Christmas 🔷️◻
Nice job. Enjoyed watching this project, gave me an idea for making my own. Look forward to the completed look.
You should tell us your location because it seems like you're at a new location quite often you do some cool stuff
I know how to do fabric...Next time you want to fold your edges...so they don't unravel.
I love watching you build things. Hope your holidays are going great- stay warm.
You are so amazing. God has blessed you so much. I wish you were my neighbor. I would love to pick your brain. lol
Love watching your videos…you’re such a talented brotha. Also, I love how you have every brand of tool…lol.
you could use an atv winch to raise and lower it and they are 12v. just use a synthetic cable and super simple make a pulley system.
Nice job, I did a plywood carpet flooring for my old ford courier. I was so proud of the job I did as I believe you are proud of your work. Thank you for the videos! Happy New Year!
Your videos are very inspiring and soothing, thanks for the great content duel ex
Absolutely love ❤️ watching your videos always very interesting 🧐
Love the design. Makes for more space during the day and easy pull down for night.
I remember when I was in shop class, I could use the equipment, but my instructor would take over my projects to demonstrate how to build. So I never finished anything myself. But you are well trained and give great videos. I’m to old to try this now.
That's a shame. I've taught programming and the best advice I was given was to keep your own hands off the keyboard and let the students learn for themselves.
Great job. Merry Christmas! 🎄🧡🇬🇧🧡🎄
Brilliant solution for an extra bed!
Amazing! Love the finger holes on the drawers. Great work!
Curious about the vans. What would you say your average spending is on converting a van?
Always run an air filter for the dust .. $100 will save your lungs my guy
Great work, lil brother. Happy New Year💐 2022
Good to see you back! Hope u had a great Christmas! Love your videos...your creativity is off the charts!
Cool to see a video. You don't post videos very often. Seems like only once a month. Cheers
I admire your talent and dedication! I would have given up in that cold weather! Very innovative!
You’re such a badass 🔥🔥🔥
Great vid as usual. I enjoy watching your problem solving and design.
That lighting and editing during the at the beginning whole working with the wood was ver sensual and entertaining
Great Artistry work as usual, young man! Always a pleasure to watch you create!
Try an electric meat carving knife to cut the foam
Great job! Love the idea and well executed!
Thank you!
@@Dualex_Builds You’re welcome!
nice-cool /a great job/thanks much
I was just thinking how you have posted in a little bit... I'm hooked on seeing how this Turns out!!! Keep up the great work my guy
Keep up the great work. You are very talented in what you do.
That is really coming along, and I'm lovin' it!! Great idea with the finger pulls! Can't wait to see the next video!
Kreg jig and pocket screws are the best lol
I've watched a lot of these over the past couple of yrs.Your content and general no frills approach is just what this old guy likes.Keep up the good work mate,you obviously know what you're doing and your parents must be very proud of you eh :0)an Englishman following from frosty Edmonton Alberta :0)
And where do you hide the matress for this bed?
Staring off into space then reveals he's building a bed 👀
Outstanding 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽beautiful work thank you for sharing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Can't wait to see how bed comes together.
You have a great talent and your taste and vision for remodeling is impeccable. Another great informational video keep them coming Duel great job ❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🌈🌈🎄🎄
New sub and new to any kind of building Just got my first power tools last summer and built out my garden with benches and walls etc. Thank you for this channel it is very inspiring and aspirational I hope to build things like you one day
