BEST Camper Conversion Bed :
When I made my first van tour video, my number one question was "how did you make your sliding bed", so in this video I decided to take the entire camper conversion bed apart and walk you through the process of putting it back together. This bed is in my opinion the most logical conversion setup possible for the small space of a standard camper conversion. This is not a stand up van.
first you need to build a box with 2x4s as a base for the seat and the sliding conversion bed platform.
The next step is to attach a drawer slide to the base. I used a 500 pound capacity drawer slide. You can find this drawer slide on my website ( stealthdweller.com )
Next you need to attach the other end of the drawer slide to a small piece of wood. Then drill plywood to the top of that piece of wood and make sure that it can slide freely.
The final step is to attach a second sheet of plywood to the first one using a piano hinge. this part will cover the hidden storage space located beneath the seat when the camper conversion bed is in couch mode.
This is by far the best bed setup that I could come up with for my camper conversion. I hope that you can find some inspiration in this camper conversion bed build! Thank you for watching!

I teach engineering and really appreciate how you have incorporated the natural "elastic" deflection of the drawer slides to allow the bed to open without the legs contacting the floor and then provide support under load. Very few bed designs take advantage of material properties in this way... GREAT JOB! A+

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm about to build this in my van. You have cleared up alot of the unknowns for me. Just one recommendation: drill some holes in your bed boards for air circulation or the condensation from your body through the mattress will eventually cause the wood to get mouldy. Cheers Mate!

Intelligent design and very easy-to-follow instructions. I built my van last summer with a platform bed, took it out and realized that I hated the design. Ripped everything out and have been trying to find a better bed solution. This is it! Thanks for going to all the trouble of taking it apart :-)

I've been impressed with the super clever design ideas you have. That sunken shower was another extremely clever idea! GREAT idea to use the drawer slides! I've seen people do the same thing with alternating slats too for a more low tech approach, but I really like the slides for their smoothness of function.

It's incredible on how you seem to be like not interested to live in a tiny house van. But when you building it is like you have everything the Van campers needed. 😁 The amazing ideas that you've put into building a house in a tiny spaced van was priceless. I hope that you tour around places as well as to help the people to build their own. Specially, the homeless people who need it a lot. Thanks for sharing and kudos to you bro and keep up the great work. 💯 - from Philippines. 🇵🇭

THIS DESIGN IS FUNCTIONAL. Yes you have a good set up. Not hard to get to the storage underneath, no messing around with lifting or refitting 3 foam cushions or any one of 4 timber bed top pieces every time you want to access under storage like I have to. I had been thinking about what to do to get easy access and storage and still have an out of the way fold out bed. You have helped me solve my problem which will allow me to do away with a single bed/seat, gain storage and a comfortable seat using my newly bought foam and still have a bed when required. I have removed the table (used to make a big bed and one side of the U shaped cafe seating which previously gave me the option of two single beds because I wanted floor space. There is still too much seating for me as I am a solo traveler driving a little motor home (fits in a standard size parking bay) with an over cab double bed. At the moment I have L shaped seating across the back and down the other side. Under the back seat area in one corner is the water pump, the rest is storage to where the two seats meet on the other side over the gas box (accessed from outside. Next to the gas box is storage and three batteries and associated electrics to the stove cupboard. I have planty of over head storage. I can now remove the seating along the side and install a cupboard with doors, making access to the batteries easier and giving me a bench top (with a pull out table) the same height as the stove and a bit of floor space too..
