FINALLY SOMEONE FIGURED IT OUT! I have watched about 100 VIDS on different bed options and I wondered why no one has came up with this. I will tell you why this is the best overall option: 1. It's up on the sealing you have full length of van 2. You can modify your space underneath as you like 3. Sofa? Cupboards? Motorcycle? Inflatable motorboat!, removable cabinets - mix and match as you like 4. Cheap, cheap and cheap - fast fast and fats unlike electric powered bullshit. Which is expensive and slow. 5. Doesn't not consume any power Seriously best option out of all. I'm planing space for my Aprilia RSV1000 and sofa combo/ sofa + kitchen extension cabinet- storage place(removable with bolt in option for safety) This is the best solution IMHO. I was going to do this somehow. But you nailed it.

I must say (again) WOW! This is great! I believe I heard you say in a previous video that you spent a lot of time searching for a bed suspension system, it's clear that this brilliant conclusion is a result of much time, money, thought and problem solving. I've been searching for quite some time myself for the right solution for my 27' travel trailer. I've looked at Murphy Beds, Hydraulic systems, etc. and I'm currently focused on how to make your solution work (without the benefit of rear cargo doors). So many points to make here, not the least of which relates to the fact that this solution doesn't rely on power. If the shocks wear over time, they can be replaced. I'm a DIY female who will always choose power tools over diamonds and pearls, and I believe I'll get it done with many thanks to you for sharing your knowledge, skills and innovative approach! You might consider building a kit and/or selling plans, I believe you'd be wildly successful with just that as a start! I'm still rooting for you, Brian! Thanks again so much!

And i gotta say I love when someone is all about doin their own projects even more so when a women is down to get their hands dirty lol. I applaud you!!!.

Also has the added bonus of not having to deal with typical bed/sitting area conversions where you have to deal with 4+ cushions and having to make&strip the bed every day. Ugh, I'd never do that.. it would always be a bed unless I had guests. You can ALSO add a table top that you don't have to move when lowering the bed. Just make sure the table is slightly lower then the lowest bed bracket. (I saw that in another video that used a garage pulley system)

Your system and I mean “Your” system should be within the skill set of most if not all Van dwellers, with all necessary materials being easily procured at a local level. Your basic system works great but there are height / power / configuration options which could easily be added in to the design making it even better! You could do worse than develop / patent this as a product and either make and sell your own or license it out to other mainstream manufacturers. I can see you getting a lot of interest and orders from the many trade fairs in the US. All the best, Will.

Great system! Very smart design, simple and fixable yet seems to work perfectly. I have a 5" memory foam mattress and it only compresses an inch or two, so it takes more headroom out of my minivan that necessary. I expect that you could gain 3-4 inches of headroom above the mattress, and be just as comfortable, by going to 5" thick mattress, or even 4", instead of 8". Also, a 48" x 75" mattress is a standard size (called a short full), so by using that size you can get fitted sheets and mattress pads, and still have a mattress that's almost as big as the custom-cut one that you use.

Great mechanical solution. In the sleep position, all weight is on solid steel brackets fixed to the walls. In the up position one side of the empty bed rests on another pair of solid brackets while the other side is held up by 4 gas springs. Lowering the spring lifted section to the resting brackets only requires you to overcome some of the middle spring tension and unhooks the bed from the upper solid brackets for easy pull down with leverage against those middle springs. I wonder if the double sided rails are really needed to pull the bed off the hooks, single sided rails are obviously needed to keep the bed inside. A larger two-person version would be needed for couples, reaching deeper inside the van or shipping container.

Thanks for sharing this. This is exactly what I plan to do on mine. Like you, I couldn't find much out there. So, I really appreciate you doing this video. I want to try to run two singles side by side, the opposite direction, but one platform. There will be a channel in the middle to get in and out of the beds. Instead of brackets to hold the bed in place I plan on building tall cabinets so that once it is dropped the whole unit sits on top of them. It will give enough under clearance to put a 4 wheeler too in case it can't be off-loaded if we are boondocking in a parking lot somewhere. I'm sure my concept, like yours, will come with a bit of trial and error too. Anyway, thanks again Brian ----- super appreciated!

I’m about 3/4 of the way into this project. I’m going with a wider frame to fit the entire mattress, and longer just due to my trailer width. I’m not necessarily a carpenter, but I am a metal worker. Now I did use unistrut and I machined a wheel out of aluminum. I have worked the sides using just the 40lbs struts so we could make sure it worked. It would almost be worth it to buy a couple of 5-10lbs struts so they are easy to work while figuring out where the placement of stuff will be. Trial and error like you said, wish I could post some pics, but thanks for the inspiration with your video. I do some car shows in the Spring, and want to camp, but want comfort too...this is going to achieve that I feel.

What beautiful work on this loft bed! Very nice of you to show us how you did it. I'm fascinated by loft beds, they are so clever. First calculation must be to determine weight load - bed frame, mattress, bedding, adults, movement effect. Struts have to match weight and more. Not sure how those L plates on wall can hold up so much weight - they look so small. Love this construction, very well done. Love the wall colors too, you are bold in your choices, so nice. I wonder how the Euro RVs make their loft beds. They seem to have 3 ways: 1. Fully automatic with linear actuator. 2. Springs and glide mechanism like a drawer on glides but vertical. This is manual. 3. Hinged on one end to a giant hinge that swings down like a swing out basket. Manual.

Thank you! I saw a video of a pro custom conversion using liftsupports and was like, "hmm, interesting, but HAS to be expensive". The I started researching pulley and cable systems and just ugh. So many issues with them. I didn't realize how inexpensive liftsupports are! I'd personally probably make my bed go down lower when it is bed mode though because I want to be able to sit up in bed. You should be able to lower the bottom brackets to the couch tops. (Or even make the couch tops be the place where the bed rests). The liftsupports should pivot to be able to go down as well I think. (And there would be no weight on them since the bed is resting on the couch top.) All told, it looks like all the pulley and the lift system would end up costing about the same amount of money. But, the lift is SO much easier to move around. The bed and seating area is one of the biggest things I've worried about with living in a van. I don't want to have to deal with the typical camper bed/seating&table setup w/ cushions&moving a table&stripping a bed every day. You could ALSO add a tabletop that is slightly lower then the lowest point of the bed and not have to worry about moving it out of the way every day.
