In this video we'll be showing you how we decided to tackle building our fixed transverse campervan bed. Hopefully it might help someone tackling building their own bed frame.

So WHO are WE? We’re Scarlett, Craig and Merlin and along with Helsing, form the PILGRIM PODS!
If you enjoy this video why not check out some of our other content? Delve even deeper into our channel; we thought we’d create a series of vlogs chronicling the conversion of our old panel van HELSING (did you see what we did there?) into a weekend warrioring campervan for ADVENTURING and EXPLORING in the UK.
Each vlog will cover a stage or smaller element of our campervan build, showing our ideas put into action and highlighting our SUCCESSES and FAILURES along the way. With no previous experience this may make for an interesting journey! Our plan is to convert a cheap van on a small budget without cutting corners and at the end, have a campervan to be proud of. We’re hoping you’d like to join us for this journey and that you find our uploads ENTERTAINING and even, INFORMATIVE!

Great video mate. Just one thought, you could have just screwed the outside edges of the slats and either placed and screwed a thin plank over the middle to hold it down and stop it moving upwards but allow horizontal movement or screw the outside and just loosely fasten the middle with long holes horizontal like a half inch or inch and big washers to allow for movement. Just a thought to save buying and also stronger than plastic of there is any unwanted movement in a direction you don't want be a bit more secure. Good video mate and like the clamps aswell thought about this myself when I build my one out next year.. Cheers just subscribed look forward to watching your other videos 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Lovely job. I went with the Skorva Beams for me bed, not sure they were worth it to be honest but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

@PilgrimPods 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Tine, nice to hear from you. We probably would have used Skorva beams if not for the fact our bed is lower than the usual horizontal fixing point people normally use to attach them so we would have had to rig up some frame for them. The same issue would have also been at the back by the doors. We would have had to build a frame to support the Skorva there too so it just made sense to make the whole frame out of wood and save a bit of money (though I don't think weight). Only downside to our route is the supporting legs underneath but I don't imagine they'll get too much in the way and the two in the middle will form part of the boxing in for the fridge we'll be doing shortly. Hope you're well. 🙂👍

@@PilgrimPods I'm putting supporting legs under me Skorva beams. I just don't quite trust rivnuts alone to hold me bulk.

Hey Bobby, thanks for checking it out. After unfastening the the remaining screws on the plastic trim it will slide out and there's just about enough room to access the rear light cluster. Luckily the height of the bed frame the fridge has dictated has worked out perfectly for access to the rear lights, mattress height to the window and access to the rear door handle. I'd like to say it was well planned on my part but it wasn't. 😀

Hi mate, the two uprights at the front had nothing on the wall to screw into but the ones at the rear were screwed through the battening on the wall straight into the metal. The bed frame was glued and screwed to the floor wherever possible - it's absolutely solid. There will be a kitchenette in front of it on both sides and they will both be screwed through the battens into the metal of the van's walls. Hope that helps. 🙂👍

Hey Craig. Nice vid, as always. I am head scratching on how to fix bed slats too at the moment. (will have a pull out mechanism). Arent these end cap you used meant for. a. metal frame? How are they holding on in your drilled holes? Did you glue them? I saw another model that would have to be secured to the side of the bed support beams and was wondering if this would be a better approach or not. Cheers

@PilgrimPods 3 жыл бұрын

I'm pretty sure for most applications I've seen these clip into metal frames but I just got a scrap piece of wood and played about with my drill bits trying to make a hole just snug enough for the slat holder to sit in but still be easily removed. No glue was used, they just press into the holes I've made. They're tight but still allow enough play for the slats to flex. I'm currently finishing the walls of the camper and have removed the slats to make my life easier working in the bed area. There's definitely cheaper ways to secure the slats such as screws but I'm happy with the route I've taken and if I were to build another campervan would tackle it exactly the same way. 🙂👍

@PilgrimPods 3 жыл бұрын

Hey there Hal, yeah we considered what would be the easiest and cheapest way to secure the slats and we definitely considered your suggestion. Though unlikely with the weight of the mattress on top we were concerned a really bumpy road might be enough to move them about enough so they fall through the gap potentially damaging the fridge beneath so for that reason alone we opted to buy some cheap slat holders. Dare I say as well that in doing so it just looks 'a proper job'. They have the added bonus that if I do need to remove them for maintenance beneath, they just unplug from the bed frame and lift away with no need to grab a screwdriver. If ever I were to build another camper I would definitely do the same thing again. Thanks for checking the video out mate and for the feedback. 🙂👍

If the music in any of our videos isn't to your taste to the extent you consider it torture please feel free to go elsewhere. 😉👍 As someone once said... 'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Me? I say thanks for feeding the algorithm and don't let the door hit you on the way out. 😘

Pilgrim Pods Sadly you missed the point of my comment completely. But thank you for sharing one of my favourite quotes (which I memorised in 1985), even if it is one of the most dishonest speeches ever made, especially since it was delivered by an American president at the Sorbonne in Paris - just as Milner’s round table in the USA and UK were planning to start the Great War which killed hundreds of thousands of French people, and those of many other countries. Oh, and due to the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871, the USA is not a republic, so it’s doubly ironic. But I’m sure the passing of the Third Force Act the same year had nothing to do with that…! It’s wonderful to meet someone who’s interested in history. However, in respect to the original subject being discussed, I prefer the immortal lines of Clint Eastwood’s Harry Callahan character who sagely observed: “A man’s gotta know his limitations…” I know I’m not a good video editor, therefore I don’t post videos that have had horrible pointless musac added. I’m also a lazy researcher, that’s why I’m an analyst. 🧐😎😜
