I wish you had a full build video! Would have loved to see it from start to finish!

Some final destination vibes about that bed rising when I'm asleep and squishing me but it's awesome

I think having a bed that can ‘disappear’ when not needed is absolutely vital when space is at a premium

One thing I have noticed about my viewing of content is I often learn from a persons build(good or bad) and just move on, that I am going to work on changing because I recognize the effort people put into sharing their build and I want to say thanks!!

Great name change and glad to see you keep making videos Everett

Best DIY van bed - hands down. Nice work!

keep your head up man, loving the new van and excited for future videos!

Love it mate, thanks very much for this! So good to see, so often explanations are either over complicated or not in depth enough, I thought this was perfect! Looks great too - loving the content

Never give up on the things that you enjoy in life ✨️ the simple pleasures

I watch alot of people who live in their van and your build is easily the second best ive seen on here. This is amazing and only Living The Van Life does it better

Fantastic design, application and explanation. This channel not only got a new name, it appears to prove who the true creator was all along. Nice.

Appreciate you sharing your knowledge mate… really love the almost invisible integrated look you achieved 👍

See life continues for the better 🙏

Just found your channel. Love it. Binge watching and your photography is out of this world.

So ya that helped me decide which rigs are able to have that kind of setup instead of being limited by the rv guys designs that everyone gets stuck with Good stuff man 🤙🏻

Great build! My favorite part of the video is when you magically appear just after the 2:00 mark. 😉

I've literally been dreaming about something like this . Is crazy for real cuz I found this video with just one search. Thanks for the video super clean build 😁🎉

Thank you for passing on this information !! Much better than Happy Jack

It's beautiful. I would love something like this when I travel around Iceland.

best system so far of all the "pro" and diy systems hands down - and the dude lists all the parts below - for his great karma account 👍👍👍👍

This is soooooo helpful! Thank you for explaining everything so well!

Great work Mate. Looks awesome.

This is great! Looks like you still have plenty of height underneath the bed when it's fully up.

it truly looks great! i do wonder if anybody has considered flipping the setup around. Raise the sofa floor at night, admitted you might need a double lift so you can then also raise the bed a little, which gives a normal domestic bed height. And while travelling you'd be able to raise both to the ceiling and have a free van floor for your bikes etc

That’s so friggin cool! It looks so good.

You are a multi-talented GENIUS!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge🙏🏼 I got a 2017 Ram Promaster and I'm going to have my dad replicate your wonderful bed lift invention ~ Bless you! ✨✨✨🌹

Keep the good work ❤🎉

This is really nice

Keep it up man! Great video :D

Thank u so much for this.

Im a new subscriber loving ur content ❤️❤️ looks amazing to do one day

Excellent work i wish i can camp with you sometime

nice solution, the different speeds are usualy due to the different length of the cable from source, longer cable means higher resistance.

Cool Built

Hi I'm so impressed across the board with you, your build, your aesthetic, and your ability to articulate your technical design and reasoning. I've watched many elevator bed video's with hopes of finding a build which suits a room (not van) in order to fully free the floor a few times a week. ??? Given your deep grasp of the options and your system, do you have any thoughts on how to do this without losing central floor space due to the "footboard" track actuators??? My gratitude for any time you take to consider the parameters and solutions for my need.

Nice lift system and I like the overall decor and styling. So question is how is the lift system holding up over time, any issues or changes you would make given y9ur experience? I'm yet to decide on a lift system for our van and yours is pretty much what we are looking for. All the best on your travels and good luck from the UK.

May I ask how you learned all of this, did you study electrical engineering? For such a young man, you are not only knowledgeable, but extremely articulate as well. My hats off to you, well done.

this is gold

Incredible build! Just found your channel and watched your tour video as well. Awesome attention to detail. Subscribed. What length actuators did you use for your setup?

this video bought to u by nutella lol...nice system and explanation dude, cant wait for more snow camping

great job very inspiring. Is there a way to manually lower in case of malfunction?

Thank you so much for sharing your design and explaining how it works. You did an amazing job. Do you have any ideas for a (non-electric) swivel chair on a track? My idea is to put a co-pilot seat in the front-right passenger position of a bus above the stairs. But It needs to be movable on some sort of track embedded in the floor. The stairs on a bus take up a lot of usable space and I want to have my navigator (my son) sitting in a regular RV seat that can be ‘parked’ back a ways and to the side, until it’s time to travel. Then I would close down a cover over the stairs, slide the chair smoothly on its tracks into position on top of the stair-cover, and lock into position. Does that make sense? I saw one like this on a bus conversion but didn’t get the link. What would you recommend for a dependable locking mechanism that would keep the seat in place while holding up to 300 lbs? Or my other idea would be to use one of the original school bus seats, having it parked & locked back against the side wall at a right angle to the front when not traveling. Then when it’s time to travel, the seat could be unlocked & pivot toward the front and slide forward to a position where it could be locked in place. Again, it would need at least 2-3 locking mechanisms to hold it safely in place wherever it is parked, and possibly some type of embedded track to slide on when it is pivoted and moved toward the front. What do you think?

Love it. My primary concern is a book or something falling off of the bed while you’re asleep and pushing that button. I would at least add a second switch that has to be held down, or preferably adding a safety switch that can cause it to retract that is accessible from the bed level.

Love how you built this, can I ask you more questions?

nice

This is awesome. What length actuators did you use?

Fantastic, will your bed system work with east to west sleeping?

If you lose power for some reason, can the bed come crashing down unexpectedly? Is there a way to prevent it from falling on you if your sitting at the table?

Do you have a video of how to build this elevator bed? I want to make a studio in my detached garage, budget and space is so limited 😢

do you have plans for this? It's very cool! :)

I might’ve missed it, but what dimensions is the bed itself? It looks somewhat smaller than a double?

How about resetable circuit breakers for the electrics.

Cool

What size fuse and diode did you use ?? / Great job

How do you run the power to the lights on the underside of the bed?

Love the ingenuity of it, but I'd not be able to sleep worrying if the mechanics are going to mess up somehow and I'm crushed into the ceiling while sleeping

Fantastic! You are some man. Thanks and congratulations. Do you want a commission to build one in the UK? All expenses paid and pay for the work?

Wassup Everest! Got two questions on your bed lift system; would it be able to support a single person bed with 2 actuators instead of 4 in a bus conversion & if given enough height, you could essentially build a bunk bed style lift correct?

Wonderful. Really helps me design my own elevator bed in my van. Question: How are all 4 actuators running simultaneously? If the weight on each corner is different then won't they start running out of sync?

Dude, you are a smart guy! Plz don't waste it. Go back to school and open your mind to future possibilities. You can have it all ....

❤❤❤

I looked up the actuators for myself (in Canada) and they are almost 500 a piece! Back to the drawing board.

What if a electric short happen and the bed full up when you getting sleep 😴

Can I hire you to build my van?

HI, what size actuator did you use? Thanks

I live in federal way! Are you still in the PNW?

I’m not that smart so could you break down what you said and what materials do I need to make one and how

So is it possible to stop the bed before it gets down to the sea it's like if I wanted to take my grandkids with me they could sleep underneath my bed on the seat?

This looks so neat, great idea! What size are the actuators you purchased?

Sorry if you mentioned it but what size is the bed?

Why not a cable and pulley system?

Two other questions: Static force 100 lbs for each actuator. Isn't 400 lbs total capacity a bit too narrow for weight of the bed + 2 persons? What is your experience? Is there some way to manually lower or raise the bed in case on or more of the actuators fail? Thank you :) I am comparing your build with a system containing 4 'normal' linear actuators and separate guide rails.

Does the bed creep down if not lowered down to rest onto something? Can it be partially lowered and sleep in it at that height?

Could I use this for a studio apartment?

Hi May I ask what size of the actuator are you using?

Nutella product placement? “After hitting the switch, I like to kick back with Nutella! Nutella. I put that S#@& on everything!”

What are the dimensions of your bed?

The next generation of this would be to make it so that each corner can stop at a different heights so that if the van itself isn't perfectly level, the bed itself can be level anyway.

Where is the bathroom?

Have these held up over the past year?

14:14 🤷‍♂️🤣

Some guys would have made it look more like a man cave. You made it look conducive to a woman living there also. Smart move young man. 😉🤔🥴

A lot of space behind the seat back is not used.

Make a business out of it 😊

Where did you buy this bed lift system?

This is obviously a Nutella Commercial.
