Hey guys and welcome to Episode 8 in my No Experience Van Build Series. Today's video is hopefully full of lots of useful information as I show you a few ways of installing a very easy and super strong simple IKEA bed to the campervan. A real DIY hack that I've seen from other peoples conversion videos and one that was great to use on my build.

When you are drilling or grinding in a van always use a magnet underneath to catch the swarf as it rusts really quick and treat the drilled areas with primer, if not you are inviting rust to start in hidden areas..

@kayak1100 2 ай бұрын

For this very reason I will not drill into the van, I do a workaround support up off the floor, having swarf in hidden places will induce rust where you can not treat

I felt better knowing I'm not the only one who processes and over thinks the build. I just came back from testing my ikea bed. It worked great. I attached it to 1/2" x 3" plywood strip ribs to lift it high enough for grandbabes to sleep underneath (with fairy lights). Also by using 2 30" foam pads I can shrink bed to a cot size by piling one on the other and removing unused support. Or leave it to use it as a table. Any ideas of how to level the bed when the van can't sit level? Thanks

Unscrew just the slat ends of the slats attached to the center rail and the rail near the front of the van. Now you can lift the rail out of its brackets in the front of the fan and slide the slats with the loose ends over the center rail towards the back. Bolt another set of rail brackets next to the center rail brackets and you can lock the forward rail in next to the center rail. Easily go from a double bed to a single.

@daveash9572 2 жыл бұрын

Will, buddy, after you've used a centre punch, drill a pilot hole first, and then step up in diameter, 1 or 2 mm at a time until you reach your target. What you've done will almost certainly hold, so no bother, but just be sure to always drill a pilot hole first. The step drill is handy for making holes bigger, but I'd stick to using that on your bracket if your mounting holes are a bit off, rather than using it on the wall of the van. Great vid as always. Thank you for sharing.

@Ramdapanda 2 жыл бұрын

I also found out about the IKEA solution when getting ready to head out to by materials for my own van. Seems super convenient! Regarding why people use a wooden board to secure the beams some (not all as many people simply copy what they see other people do without any thought on why) is that you can adjust the height of the bed and thus have a bigger or smaller garage for whatever you plan on fitting in there.

@joe4264 2 жыл бұрын

Loving the videos mate, i am learning a lot from them. If i could give any advice back the way i would suggest adding some rubber washers between the bracket and the van or the bracket and the beam, this will help with moisture as the cold from outside the van can travel through the metals all the way to under your bed. Hope this makes sense! Also, when drilling start with a smaller drill (3-4mm) before going for your final size, this will save blunting the drills and protect you from slipping and hurting yourself. Keep up the good work 👍

@birchwoodracing Жыл бұрын

Out of all of your van build videos I found this one the most informative. I had seen most of the vids and the camping trips and often wondered how you built the bed. When I start my build I want the bed to be in the same position as yours maybe slightly higher so I can get a bike underneath it. Like yourself I am pretty tall so need a wide van to be able to sleep sideways.

Great video mate. After converting two vans now i feel your pain on how cost can spiral out of control on silly little bits to get jobs done haha. Absolutely love the ikea bed Beams they are awesome!! will defiantly use them on the next build. Most important thing i have found when converting a van is to keep a real close eye on the build weight. It's easy to get sucked into making a beautiful van inside but the weight can really add up and then so do the fuel bill costs for driving it around having adventures which is what we actually make them for, which i found out when i lived in my first van full time for two years. Using the those bed beams and directly mounting them to the van chassis was a great way to save a lot of weight for sure. Good work!. Cheers dude.

@esparka Жыл бұрын

I actually purchased 2 of these IKEA spans last year & I have the slats + the brackets were sent to me from “returns”, as well. The whole shebang. It worked. But, here I am nine months later & I still haven’t installed the bed. I purchased this Ram ProMaster van with 6000 miles on it and it already had the factory camper package. This means the factory swivel seats are there. It also means the floor is already installed. It means there’s extra capacity for dealing with electricity already installed. The Tow package, check. It’s awesome. I do feel it’s time to go ahead and go with this route to build the bed as I believe it will work. I only want a cot though. Noone is gonna be sleeping in there with me. Even a girl that comes camping with me is gonna be sleeping on a separate cot underneath ha ha ha I was thinking that if I used a wooden board across the side as you had shown you would put the brackets at the top so that the slats can still go all the way to the edge of the van even though below it you have the side boards. those boards against the sidewall would not impede the ability for the bed to go all the way to the wall. I also believe I would like to figure out how to have the bed higher than where those side beams are located but just ever so little bit, to be determined.

Mate, the drill bit you were using to drill into the van and the brackets was a masonry bit. Its for drilling brick. Use a high speed steel bit or a step drill from the outset. And drill a pilot hole. And use cutting oil.

The reason people use a wood panel, at least in my country, is because as long as you don't modify the van you don't need to legally change it to a RV. With the wood panel you can use the holes and anchor points that are already in the van, if you drill new holes then you need to pass inspections do paperwork etc. If you don't modify the structure anything you put inside is considered cargo and you can still use it legally as a van.

A shower tray with a hole in middle so water doesnt sit, plus your pipe work, pretty much it mate, easiest and cheapest way for a hot water shower buy far, keep up the good work, and ye your right it is expensive lol, i am 3 grand in and not done, got a good 240v victron solar kit though, that's another tip for ya, go with victron solar and get an mppt not a pwm solar charger.

@HarryMac-Scotland 2 жыл бұрын

Thought the same thing, if the screws where the two halves meet were omitted on one beam the slats would slide in between the “fixed” ones. Fitting another bracket you’d just need to lift the beam at the front (or rear) and slight it up against the other one (course you’d need two mattresses so you can “fold” the mattress on top of the other one.

you made me laugh a ton of times with some of the stuff you say... its nice to see someone just being themselves and putting it out there. I am trying to work on that on my videos as well to just be natural and do what you would and say what you would if no one was watching. Going to do something similar on my next build. thank you for a great video.

Step drills don't like being twisted whilst drilling in steel. You can use washers behind the bracket where things curve on the wall, so that bracket is presented square to the beam

We used the same beams in our van, although we had awful trouble with ikea in Ireland refusing to provide the wall brackets unless we showed receipts for the appropriate number of bed bases... Despite the fact we bought beams, slats and a mattress from them. Ended up using the METOD wall beam that they use in ikea kitchens. Worked like a charm.

Thank you so much for this comment! We're having the same trouble in Ireland. Appreciate you adding the details of what you used instead 😊

When drilling on metal, for perfect centering you should do it in 3 steps : first, mark the exact center with some sort of needle/nail and a hammer. 2nd, drill a hole with a smaller drill that will fit and stay centered in the mark. 3rd use the final diameter drill, which will center easily in the previous hole. Much more time but far better results.

And also don't use a masonry bit on metal 😳

For that bolt at 11:00 - take some toothpicks, or pieces of wood, heck even some cotton from a cotton swab such as q-tip will work... You want to fill the gap to close the space up then use a thinner screw. It won't offer a lot, but that little bit will help distribute the weight a bit more. I would fill up the entire cavity and use a pick to ensure you have a clear and straight shot through for the new screw while ensuring the cotton or wood is all the way around it as much as possible. In the military we had wooden lockers and the screws were coming out because the hole was made a lot larger over the years from use - so I took a q-tip and filled the hole, then put the screw back in and it was like new.
