  • In this video we go over some unique bed/couch layouts that makes full use of the limited amount of space in campervans or RV's to give you some vanlife bed ideas. We also talk about how we have our top bed in a happijac bed lift system and our couches underneath that can also convert into a bed allowing us to sleep 4 people. We share these ideas in the hope of helping you out in your upcoming conversion van or remodel.

    i have seen all the different configurations and the one that makes the most sense is the happy jack system. The others waste alot of space and dont stow away well Yes you can store things under the bed but the bed has to stay stationary for most of the time I think you did the best selection overall Maybe there is a better way but so far I havent seen it

    Love the idea of a lifting bed especially making use of the space underneath. We will be going with the happijac system in our van. Do you think that the bed lift rails can be oriented front and back instead of side to side? We will likely have flares and not sure if I'd cover over them with the rails. Any insight is greatly appreciated 🙏

    Hi everyone
    Sorry if my question doesnt sound exciting
    Just got a 06 gmc savanna denali.
    Love the van except...the bed is more like 2 captains chairs hooked together. Comfortable to sit in not.so much when flat. Dont think im the only one not happy about that non feature.
    Any thoughts of what i can.do wothout removing bed and putting used one in. Costly and frustrating, as I cant do it myself.
    Thanks everyone. Hope your days are going well.
