An in-depth description of the Mother of All Beds - the MOAB - given by Chad Smith of Adventure Wagon.
This modular bed can be moved UP and DOWN and used for a variety of reasons.
***Visit adventurewagon.com/collection... for more info!***
Are you customizing a sprinter van and you need high-storage? Not sure which bike you are going to buy and need various options for space in your build? Maybe you're considering the option to sleep sideways within the flarespace? Let's not forget created stacked bunk beds... or perhaps a temporary bench for when you eat lunch? All these solutions can finally be found in one bed... the MOAB bed.

That's awesome! You've build what I had in my head in a better way. I wanted to do it with fixed platform and vertical airline-brackets but your idea with telescope is genius.

This all seems a bit heartless making money out of the growing van/home/camper/tiny living space trend........I prefer the, 'share your genius ideas'........ and sleep better........... Also, just one thought, where do you stash the mattress when your beds in the up position....?

@crabby117 4 жыл бұрын

I think it’s worthwhile to make a distinction between “the bed” (as is always stated in this vid) and the bed *platform.* Most people probably don’t sleep on the bare (hard) wood platform. So to say “all you have to do...” to take the bed down is remove the platform, which admittedly takes seconds, is slightly misleading. Taking down bedDING and storing it should be part of the complete picture. Props for a well-built and ingenious platform tho.

@monicarocha384 5 жыл бұрын

I don't think this was well designed at all. From what I understood it is to be used in those van convertions with kitchen, storage and sometimes bathroom area. How do you expect people to remove the matress, 3 huge slab of wood and the screws and brackets out of the way with such a limited space left? You have maybe between 50/70cm wide of space to walk freely - a walkway between the front and the back of the van. And most people with a fixed bed have storage underneath it.

Well I am pleased for you because I wasted a fair bit of cash buying a top of the range inflatable mattress only to find out it was really uncomfortable and gave me instant neck ache and worse. I even tried a mattress topper on the inflatable, that too didn't work. I then went for a shrink mattress, which meant I could shrink, suck out the air but only because I have a great compressor/air machine on my van.
