Do you know how the Japanese make insanely genius furniture because of their small tatami apartments? I feel like America is going through that right now too, with all the tiny homes and van conversions. Today I saw a folding loft bed that was using cabinets as stairs and had a small office under the bed.
Avoid the Van Conversion Guide.. it's not very expensive, but they also sell two different electrical guides... meaning this conversion guide likely has no information on electrical stuff, which would be the whole reason for my considering to buy the book. I tried reaching out about this... crickets..
A hydraulic drop from the ceiling style bed is my favorite way of ensuring a bed is always ready and gives you seating underneath during the day which then gives space for a bathroom and kitchen.
Interesting. I have a concept in my mind a bit like a roller garage door, a slatted bed base board and attached compressible mattress that rolls up, into a roll near the roof at the back doors (slats joined with strong webbing bands). When deployed side guide rails on the van walls each side guide it as it unrolls down to sort of the normal rear bed position, like they do on the garage doors. As an engineer the holy trinity of vans bed-toilet-shower in smallest space are a fascinating challenge, everything else can work round those.
Most full time vanlifers will tell you they never use their shower and end up converting the space to something else (it's all very well to have a shower but to have to access and carry around the water needed to run it....)
I like the way you think! You sound like me. I've thought of something like this too but it sounds like you're actually getting it figured out! Yes we have engineers in my family lol. And I'm grateful that I got some of their genetics 😅
@@nsmith3128 pretty much. Washing (body wipes, pressurised pump spray bottles, bathing natural water sources - anything to save on water usage; you can keep clean without actually having a shower). Many will have a shower every other day at a gym (some will even check in to a caravan park once a week to shower and do laundry); but if you're off grid that's not an option - and if you're off grid where do you fill up your water? And carrying a whole heap takes up a heap of space plus it's very heavy - so that's extra in mileage). Don't forget all the other things you need to use water for other than drinking and showering - there's laundry and cleaning.... When you take all that into account you begin to see why including a shower in your rig becomes impractical
I got a 2020 Transit Medium roof in May. I'm going to build my bed in a DIAGONAL across the back. I'll be able to open the back door and step up into a triangular "mud room" with a pull-out toilet underneath. There will be triangular spaces at the head and foot of the bed, and I'll be able to sleep full length, without sleeping diagonal in a cross-bed. I already have swivel seats at the front, so I'll have a large space for the kitchen/dining area. I plan on using unistrut so I can dismantle, or even re-arrange if I want/ need to. BTW...this is my 12th van since 1973, after I came back from Europe where I saw VW vans all over the place.
In my bus I plan on having a fixed bed in the back and then mattress can lift up like a lid for the clothing storage(and I can have my water tank down there too cause the amount of clothes I have would fill about 1/3 of the space) I’ve never liked the idea of convertible furniture cause for me, it sounds like too much of a hassle to, for example, make the bed into a dining area, when i can just sit on the bed with a lap table. I’d rather sit on my bed than a chair and table.
I like it when a bed design includes provision for bedding and pillows which some if these are great at, but some are not. Having to store and set up bedding every time is a pain. I think it's what makes the humble rock and roll so good, there's a natural spot behind the backrest to roll up and store this stuff.
I have a beautiful print cover over my bed, so it looks great all the time. I could roll up my mattress and strap it and snap the bench seats into place, pull out the hidden table if I need it, all in ~5 mins. But I don't need it because I have a fold away hidden table and a swivel chair in my galley, where I can eat inside by a window. Or, I can sit outside in a fold-up chair to eat, or use the picnic table. ALL NO- WORK OPTIONS! LOVE IT!
The vertical boards on the wall next to your bed visually extend the height of the van making it look like the roof is taller. I might pinch that idea!!
How come you guys don’t provide links to these guests you host ? Other than that viewing product I would like to do but no tangible hard contacts ? You gave nice insight into various owners but no contact lists
The first setup is absolutely genius! I'm designing my own overland trailer and you just solved my issue with want a fixed bed (at least a queen) and and table area to eat and work from. But I have to admit the Murph setup is bomb diggity!!! Awesome!
The half flip up bed is my favorite one, it just seems so easy and not many steps! I kinda wish I could live the van lifestyle, but I can't drive and vans are expensive.
I personally think a hydraulic lift bed is the way to go in that it gives you space underneath to create a lounge area etc or a great place to store bikes or other sporting gear. Flexibility, l believe is really important in a van.😊
High fail rate and what do you do if that happens when you're out in the middle of nowhere? (They're expensive and an expensive fix). The manual 1 is a much better option cos more realistic
These work great when you’re young. We each need to get up 3-4 times a night and without waking the other. My wife is also not going to climb up into a bed. I’m thinking 2 singles in either a twin Murphy bunk bed arrangement or L shape with mine up high across the back. Climbing is not a problem for me. We each are forced to be side sleepers which mitigates my 76” length.
15:30 imagine a stranger trespass into your vehicle while you are in bed, you have the option to quickly create a barrier with that slide out and it contains all the guns on your side lol

Alot of great ideas. However, I love a fixed bed. Who wants to send time messing around with pulling, pushing, turning, cushions, when you can just hop into bed? IMHO, I keep my bed fixed, even tho I can turn it into a seating area.
Murphy bed wins. I would have added a tv so she can watch from bed but otherwise perfect. BUT…. I would have given the electronic, drop down bed number one but she didn’t show how it looked when fully up against the ceiling. Can’t tell if there’s enough head room during the day. If there is- that’s the winner with the Murphy Bed #1A.
Your van bed layout is exactly what we had envisioned for ours. Where did you get the mattress plug/extension? I am having trouble finding anything like it.
Laye to the party and only in the saving/planning stage but for once im glad im only 4'10.5" and really only need 2" of sholder room! This should give me a lot more room than a man @ 6' or more! Lol
At 4-10 u are made for a van Perfect! Plus u don’t feel squished ever by ceiling, I bet! I’m not even 5-4 anymore and car sleeps are hard for me. I’m fat tho. And old. Don’t get neither 😖 🤨😳
Nate, I’ve registered for your course. But I’m too old and too unskilled to build my own van. I do want my own design (No gas, half-height shower and wc and a rear lounge with ceiling bed so high lithium and battery spec. Can you recommend a builder for such a van , please? Stuart
As a solo traveller, I’m not impressed. So much waste of space and time and accessories such as levellers and blocks to achieve a level sleeping spot. Long live the hammock and its compact stuff-able and stow-able accessories.
I am still alive.. I have been crazy busy on a more academic project (a book on ideas and ideology). I hope to get back a bit more to 'being in videos' in the coming year. (I will need to promote it after all).
oh man, i feel like my bed needs to be in your 2024 version. its on drawer slides and pulls open, and slides back into a couch for the day. the mattress (queen) is all one piece and doesnt need to be made in order to open and close it
Things I want, if I lived in a van: #1. 1000 watt microwave. #2 Good sized freezer, for 400 frozen sandwiches, frozen vegies and frozen meat and fish. #3 Tools, gear and a 40+ gallon water tank under the bed. #4 Ceramic wall heater. #4 200 cans of soup. #5 2500w Power Station hooked up to solar on the roof, or a SphereMotor. #6 A sponge. #7 Coffee maker and a rice cooker. #8 A good wall cabinet setup. #9 Pullout toilet under the seat. For dinner put some frozen vegies in microwave and then add a can of soup. Next microwave a frozen sandwich. Next wet hair, add shampoo and then rinse in the sink with warm water from the microwave. Next clean body with warm sponge. Next turn on the Ceramic Wall Heater. Next, be free and happy.
murphy wins. Single pivot with positive latch is bomber. as a mechanical engineer, you typically want to choose the most robust solution unless the client has specified something else. If I were to upgrade, perhaps do a slam latch, or get cute with making the Murphy wall functional for daytime. Linear systems suck unless you overdesign which means $$$ and space to house components. A parallel four bar would be my suggestion if the client wanted a bed to hug the ceiling during the day, a solution used in motor homes from days gone by.
@@rosscoooo4854 it depends on your definition of a bed, it's where we sleep. Also, last week was the first time we slept in a 'proper' bed and mattress and OMG never again, both of us were so uncomfortable, the mattress aged us 30 years. We were all aching.
@@EdurtreG everyone sleeps differently and it's important to respect people's choices and priorities. Floor beds are proven to help align the spine and skeleton and we have found that to be true in our case. I don't know how the floor bed will feel as we age, but will react to life as it happens and adjust. For the record, we clean our floor, and we are all animals just like you. 😉
My 22' Winnebago Rialta has a rear double bed, with an open shelf and full view window behind, where I can set my DVD/TV. I can sit in my galley's swivel chair or on the bed (always made up) and lean against the wall with a comfy bed or wedge pillow. NO-work Cozy TV nook! I think it Trumps all of these "beds." That said, I'm one person and only 5 ft 8.
they have an interesting definition of a queen bed.. tht doesnt even look like a double? all those beds require able bodies or electrics, bear that in mind. nice though.
Top 10 campervan bed designs, but none from Humble Road, Sam's Van pretty standard fixed double, but it's electric so reclines, Mr & Mrs Sprinter van part electric part sliding longways mounted queensize electric reclining head end slides back to make it more compact in day use, Van 01 fold out futon couch in day bed at night easy to do
I thought that 1 was the best design. It was the bed on the floor that I thought crazy - I was fine about it just being a thin mattress but then she's adding blanket after blanket? Rather defeats the purpose of those thin floor mattresses
@@susie9893 there is a simpler version to no 1 where they slide out the bed extension, and also another slide out dining table between those 2 bench, but definitely more complex carpentry work
I saw a mini van with a bed width wise behind the two front seats! I got excited because I can fit in it, 5’ . Haven’t been able to find it since! Do you know of it? 😂
Yes, I am nit picking but why do I hear so many people calling the floor the ground and the ground the floor? The ground is outside, the floor is inside 😊 7:45
You have such interesting videos, Nate but the background music is driving me nuts. So unnecessary to add another layer of noise to videos, when you speak thru the whole video, and are doing tours and demos.
R&R is best. You can buy a R&R bed system for £200 and about the same for cushions, make it as wide and long as you want. Held in with 6 bolts, you get a proper sofa and you can even get them with seat belts. Going from sofa to bed 1 second, from bed to sofa 5 seconds and you can store bedding behind the sofa.
i prefer the electric bed lift but... this one doesn't have windows .... i prefer the electric bed lift with side windows, for viewing when I want to sit and relax and gaze outside without going outside.
Electric Bed Lift . Who Does Work Like That ? That's the Only one I care for . There has to be a 2 nd way to get it down if Electric Goes out . Comment's Are A Extra To Your BOOK . A win winner .Smart Guy
My bed solution is not here...full width/140 with an extension of 60 cm. 2 mattresses with a length of 2 meters, where I cut the mattresses at 140. The foam rubber, not the cover. This means that the 60 cm part will be back to the rear doors. From "daybed" to bed: pull out the bed, then pull out the mattresses...done.
@citigirlcountrified1927 Maybe she doesn't like making it -but the Murphy bed makes her do it-& I know some large beds have to walk around bk & forth so maybe it Feels easier-even tho it isn't much easier :)
none of these beds are really what I want, 1) I ALWAYS want a bed for one person to sleep on sideways. But, I only want it taking up 36" (single size bed just for one) that is ALWAYS available to sleep on in case you get tired of driving and you just want to pull over for a quick snooze... or you just don't want to make the king size bed. And of course, the garage will be only 36" long so, when the bed is in "single" mode, you got a ton of space for recliners, couch, or whatever you want in that space, then, when it comes time doing some really good sleeping, you can slide out another 40 inches or so, depending on how tall you are. So, the bed will slide on rails over counter space, or couch ... depending on what you want in that space. Of course, if your prefer a bigger garage, then you can make it like the bed plug. However I think having more space for "van life" is a better deal. If somehow I could get a laz-boy recliner in the van. I'd be pleased! Don't make the mistake of having a hard cushion at the end of the bed, since doing this limits your sleeping position, and we all know a VAN is NEVER level. So, make the bed sleepable form east to west or north to south.

If the bed takes too much time and effort to put it into place while TALKING about a van bed, then it's too complicated.

It would have been nice to see what vans they had?

You are so welcome, glad we can help!!! :)
Bottom line: you most likely don't need a foldable bed. Fixed bed + storage underneath IMO is the most practical approach in most cases.
Fantastic! Plug bed is amazing and exactly what I'd be looking for
Absolutely love the Murphy bed and her vans aesthetic! #inspired
The half flip up bed is my favorite one, it just seems so easy and not many steps! I kinda wish I could live the van lifestyle, but I can't drive and vans are expensive.

Do you have to have a really tall van to use one of those?
11,17 This is the most comfortable bed I have ever seen.
The best is the Number 2! ELECTRIC is amazing
These work great when you’re young. We each need to get up 3-4 times a night and without waking the other. My wife is also not going to climb up into a bed.

3-4x a night is intolerable
Try going lowcarb
Great ideas and insightful to see.
Would be very helpful to know what vans these bed designs are in.
Glad you enjoyed it! There’s links in the description to the full van tour film of each van featured if you’re interested in seeing more about them 🤟

I wish you'd shown that last bed being pulled out. I've seen builds like that before but not really in action (ie lived in)

Nel van il letto è importante ,ma anche il wc e la doccia, preferisco i van europei
Just wondering how do u guys manage security? Like when ur away etc
7:50 lady: its really easy and takes only a minute
doggo looking confused af: this crazy hooman do this every day
I thought that 1 was the best design. It was the bed on the floor that I thought crazy - I was fine about it just being a thin mattress but then she's adding blanket after blanket? Rather defeats the purpose of those thin floor mattresses
@@susie9893 there is a simpler version to no 1 where they slide out the bed extension, and also another slide out dining table between those 2 bench, but definitely more complex carpentry work
Hello- Where is part one video? The link brings this one up again. Searched your channel, coming up empty handed. Thanks.

I saw a mini van with a bed width wise behind the two front seats! I got excited because I can fit in it, 5’ . Haven’t been able to find it since! Do you know of it? 😂
Yes, I am nit picking but why do I hear so many people calling the floor the ground and the ground the floor? The ground is outside, the floor is inside 😊 7:45
Hey mr murphy, Is this book white van bild on danis to?
You have such interesting videos, Nate but the background music is driving me nuts. So unnecessary to add another layer of noise to videos, when you speak thru the whole video, and are doing tours and demos.
13:10 this is how she keep fit
😂 true.
You just said you don't like to making the bed, then you proceded to make it.
R&R is best. You can buy a R&R bed system for £200 and about the same for cushions, make it as wide and long as you want. Held in with 6 bolts, you get a proper sofa and you can even get them with seat belts. Going from sofa to bed 1 second, from bed to sofa 5 seconds and you can store bedding behind the sofa.
What’s an R&R bed system? Sorry I’m new to this stuff.
“I don’t like sleeping horizontal”
..how do you sleep?😂
i prefer the electric bed lift but... this one doesn't have windows .... i prefer the electric bed lift with side windows, for viewing when I want to sit and relax and gaze outside without going outside.
Electric Bed Lift . Who Does Work Like That ? That's the Only one I care for . There has to be a 2 nd way to get it down if Electric Goes out . Comment's Are A Extra To Your BOOK . A win winner .Smart Guy
Wish the gal with the murphy bed would have turned it slower. I have it on 1/5 speed and still it goes so fast i cant hardly tell HOW it works.
How about an adjustable bed
14,09 it's not a full-size Queen bed. It's a Queen-size full bed.
My bed solution is not here...full width/140 with an extension of 60 cm. 2 mattresses with a length of 2 meters, where I cut the mattresses at 140. The foam rubber, not the cover. This means that the 60 cm part will be back to the rear doors. From "daybed" to bed: pull out the bed, then pull out the mattresses...done.
Sounds awesome! Would you be interested in filming it for our next beds compilation film?!
@@NateMurphy I'll let you know
Yes please do!
So the one girl basically makes a pallet on the floor, That is not a bed.
For some reason the link to the free online course isn’t working - anyone else having that problem? Or is it maybe expired already?

"I don't like making my bed everyday". But she makes her murphy bed everyday
So your room is just messy? Oh wow.
@@prettyinpinky5937 quoting her. Guess you didn't watch her
@citigirlcountrified1927
Maybe she doesn't like making it -but the Murphy bed makes her do it-& I know some large beds have to walk around bk & forth so maybe it Feels easier-even tho it isn't much easier :)
@citigirlcountrified1927 don't be rude.
@@StacyOsterman not rude. Just thought it was ironic
Bed #7 is only for the young. And by that I mean younger than 30-35.
5:00 most genius thing ive ever fucking senn
I hope the person sleeping under the cabinets doesn't knock herself out, waking up during a nightmare in the middle of the night.
Cant find the free guide?…..
Hello. Bit cheeky but what is the name of the chap in the last video. He looked like he had some other good ideas we would like to look at.
Hello he is John my husband. 🫶
10:05 not comfortable at all!😂
none of these beds are really what I want, 1) I ALWAYS want a bed for one person to sleep on sideways. But, I only want it taking up 36" (single size bed just for one) that is ALWAYS available to sleep on in case you get tired of driving and you just want to pull over for a quick snooze... or you just don't want to make the king size bed. And of course, the garage will be only 36" long so, when the bed is in "single" mode, you got a ton of space for recliners, couch, or whatever you want in that space, then, when it comes time doing some really good sleeping, you can slide out another 40 inches or so, depending on how tall you are. So, the bed will slide on rails over counter space, or couch ... depending on what you want in that space. Of course, if your prefer a bigger garage, then you can make it like the bed plug. However I think having more space for "van life" is a better deal. If somehow I could get a laz-boy recliner in the van. I'd be pleased! Don't make the mistake of having a hard cushion at the end of the bed, since doing this limits your sleeping position, and we all know a VAN is NEVER level. So, make the bed sleepable form east to west or north to south.
Who is Murphy bed girl. I'm curious to see rest of van....
12:50
Nice.
Equalize the audio.
1st. Bee. Top much " I only have to"s
😎👍❤️
🎉 I'm not a fan of a bed at rear of van, always a danger if someone smashes into back whilst in bed.
