I've seen many different build videos and yours are some of the best I've seen. They are just long enough and you show just enough of the process that I really understand what you're doing but it doesn't get boring. The good use of music and editing is awesome as well. Great job all around.

Yo, you might want to put plastic or metal glider 'buttons' on the bottoms of your bed pullout legs, instead of carpet. The carpet could pick up a grain of sand or small pebble that could scratch your carpet. I love the job you're doing - looks really great.

Love the time lapse on your builds. Like someone else said shows just enough of what of you're doing without getting super technical. Music was good as well. I'm probably just as excited as you are to see it finished. Great job

Love this build. I have a Ford Transit Connect too. I plan to do the same bed set up with the only difference being to divide the slider section unit into two separate free moving sliders to create more seating flexibility options. I'd need to also divide the cushion too. Visually it works out to be two mini slider couch beds (love seats?). So when the rear slider couch is out, I can sit and face forward and someone else can sit and face me. When the front slider section is out I can face to the back with the rear doors open to check out the view.

What a great job! It looks so nice.

Nice build. Little trick, If ya rub a candle on the wood parts that are sliding against one another, it will reduce the friction and slide way better.

Good job. I am watching different people make that pull out bed, and the cabinet with hinged lid.

I had this in my 1978 Mini Wini RV... great idea for a couch/bed... "Thank YOU" for sharing this...

I like the L shape, and the clever extension. Can't wait to see the complete job. Looks like you should be a professional van customizer

Hmm...with your newer, floating design I could forgo the drawers yet still have access to the space underneath for lithium batteries along with the propane furnace, converter/power distribution unit, and closed generator compartment under the bed/sofa in my Class B by having removable front panels. I like this way better than the awful jackknife sofa and static front panel.

I just spent the last few months building out my 2007 Transit Connect. The build quality that's going into yours is making mine look like a total bodge job! Mine's very similar in layout but I have way fewer tools and you have way better craftsmanship.

The van build is really impressive:) It does look like it will feel quite spacious when completed- a really hard feat in a small van. It will be well worth me paying the shipping fees (to me) when it's finished :) :) lol

Will you share the plans please I seen a lot of videos but yours it's the best one

You will need velcro or other fastener to prevent the outside cushion sliding away to leave a gap, unless you sleep with no movements at all.

Thank you, for your work and posting it.

Rub bar soap on the wood slides and it will glide smoothly.. The slide boards are attached to the face with a single screw? For safety, add a ledger strip under them for support on the back of the face frame.

If you're having issues with the pull out sticking, next time do it split in 2 as it's pulling from the end over the distance that causes the slight jam.

it's all looking really nice so far....i wish i had your skills!

What a beautiful bed congratulations man will you please share the plans

I really like how you use the carpet. I use the same stuff for the floor in my shed, but never thought of using it in the way you are.

Looking great! First time I've seen that style of slide out bed, works really well & will defiantly be using the same design in mine. Great job & look forward too the next video

This is a newbie question but how do you secure the bedframe and the cabinet you are about to make on the right to the sides/floor. Asking because I never seen builds explain that

i love your vid !! and the bed is exceptional ! but i would make fo panel to put in front of the lock box right in front of the one you have to hide the lock no one would ever know it was there …...stealth box lol

Great idea and well done.

bees wax applied to the wood will help it slide.

Thanks for sharing. Your project gives good ideas for the van build that I'd like to do one day.

Why doubt yourself you did great see you on road

Great build. Nice/lovely colour combinations.

Why are you using a battery switch, with a VSR installed you can do away with the switch as the VSR automatically isolates the starter battery This means that when you are driving you are charging both but when stopped nothing bleeds power from the starter.

Just thought I'd mention in case you didn't know, batteries need to be vented to the outside as they can emit gasses as they charge.

Great work love your work, given me lots of ideas thanks please keep them coming.

Great idea with the pull out bed!

one thing you missed was having access from the front of the van to the back between the seats.

Awesome build! I love your perfectionism!

Great Job! dx

Think the slats are too wide making the voids larger. Depending on what you put on top as a mattress (thickness) might mean you'll feel the timber or it be to soft. When you extend the bed there's no support on the slats which might mean it will break if your weight is over one slat. Looks good thought, hopefully I'm wrong. Love the colours you chose.

Very nice Josh.👏👏👏👏

I understand not painting some of the wood, but the wood will warp somewhat with one part painted and other parts bare.

Awesome Job Josh

every bed's a pullout bed!

Okay, now please please measure and share the the materials you finely settled on. If you’d like also share what to put where. I’m a female senior that can’t afford to buy things I will throw out. Thank you this is the exact size I need

Thanks for the video bro, I got the same van but newer, so this works perfect because we both got micro vans 👍🙌🤙

Great idea. Try wood wax to improve sliding

Hi great job on the bed. I just saw a video the other day of someone using a wax to finish their woodwork. I was wondering if that would help with your bed sliding out better and less friction? I am repurposing a couch I have for my bed as I am lacking in the carpentry skills, otherwise I would love to build a bed like yours.

You did that without a plan? Awesome! Well done!!

Thank you for your videos..🙂 I'm actually in process of deciding how to build out my 2012 transit connect since we have such little space to work with... Lol Your vids are definitely inspiring... Looking good so far!!!

Crafty lad

It's beautiful would you mind sharing the plans to build one for myself please

Unless you take someone with you , why do you need such a wide bed ? A 28 " wide bed would be pretty comfortable . Thanks for your videos .

I would really like to make one like yours

nice job Josh - I know you said when bed is not extended it is 23"w - What is the length when it does extend? How wide is your cabinet off the wall next to the bed?

awesome video man. did you just put some type of carpet on ur walls?

I would love to get my hands on the specs for this bed and cabinet build

BÄM 👍🏻 great Job! So well done 👍🏻

Your music is way louder then you are. I have to keep turning the volume up and down, but the can is lovely.

Looks great!

Those bed frames look great, white and grey works well. Do you think thinner wood would work if you were to do again?

Amazing build! I have the exact cargo van. Are you concerned about the weight of the vehicle after it's fully loaded? I believe they are made to carry 1,400 pounds, and with just 138 horses, the transmission tends to work extra hard and from my experience at 110,000 miles I was forced to replace mine. However, I love my van and think it's one of the more versatile vehicles out there. Will you be adding a back up camera?

Late at seeing this vid but I like! Made to fit, roomy and works for ya :)

Hi Josh awesome video!!! Do you have the measurements for your bed/sofa frame?? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is great. Wish I could cut wood straight 🤪

Love that bed design! :-)

cool vid bro. appreciate your time

How tall is the bed?

Love this little bed system, we want to do something like that but from front to back so the extension would be longer, anyone done this kind of system before but a longer extension?

Nice job!

Very cool.

How wide is the inside of your van..im thinking about this style bed but I need two of them..im 5'3 and i fit perfectly crosswise across my bed so I'm thinking two beds at 24 inches each that pull out to about 30 should work..i don't need mine to pull out bc im small but my son will..so maybe use my side as 24" and his side with the pull out..???

Nice design, will you need a support for the center of the pull out bed?

"...my pelican fits in there." For those of us who thought a pelican was a large sea bird.... is it a case for a musical instrument? Oh, next you mention camera, so it must be for photography stuff.

Nice video man 👍

Good job. It looks like a 1 x 4 on the front face. Has that been strong enough?

How to carry 2 motorcycles in a Ford transit connect stealth camper while living in it on the road. I should just call Dr. Who for some tardis tech.

Love your videos- great ideas!!!! Where did you find the van with the dual sliding doors? Did you order it like that or happen to find one-if so, where did you find it? Thanks!

Perfect!!!

Awesome bed! It’s really helped me to plan out how I want to make my own - thanks! I was just wondering though, have you had any issues with friction between the wood slats when you pull the bed in and out, or has it been fine for you?

great videos very educational. what kind of car is that? looks like a ford connect...if so, is it long body or short one? high root or low? thank you

Nice video. Is there a reason you made your bed so low? If you made it higher you could get more cabinet space. Also I like pull outs or sliding drawers. You lost egress on the left side of the van, so you could use the entire left wall for storage, then use the left cargo door for access to the back of the wall cabinet. With the bed extended and the full cabinet on the right you will get claustphobia, as you need room to move about. Your kitchen should be one unit with pull outs. That way you will have room to mount a TV and media center and desk. Remember your space must be used at least in three different scenarios. There is so much wasted space currently. I like how you work, so hopefully my ideas will help in this build.

Could you tell me what materials did you use ?

"Oh my god I did it"

100/100 I liiikkee it

What’s the name of the slat wood you used for the bed?

I love it! Subscribing.

Nice one :)

can u plz tell me if the beds/benches r fixed/screwed with the floor?plz let me know how it stays in the right place do I need to screw it down to the floor?

Can't you simply slide the two skateboards under the outside half of the bed?

What did u use to putty over the counter sunk screws ?

why u didn’t show us how to build the bed bro. we know u dont know what your doing but its still turning out good. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Do you have the spec sheet for this bed design? I’d like to take a crack at building on just like it for my 2017 RAM PMC!

Just discovered your channel. Awesome workmanship. Just a question... it seems to me you're adding a lot of weight. How much weight do you estimate you're adding to the van?

What year is this transit

How wide is the bed when pulled out?

What is a "pelican" that you store under the bed?

What is the length of the bed? And also the width when it is fully extended?

You need to keep your camera steady you making people have a headache moving around way too much 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵I love your van 🚐belt of the bed 🛏 and the benches and can’t wait do you get the cabinet in the

how high did you build that bed frame?

I live in a country where you don't need a toolbox

how long is the bed mate? thanks for the videos

What kind of Van is that?
