Well, seeing how much lumber is now it's a $30,000 conversion now. Vehicle extra.

This guy's way to present is so simple and yet surprisingly entertaining! You deserve SO MANY MORE SUBSCRIBERS!!! Love these diy projects!

When I bought the cast iron bottle opener many years ago, I knew there will be a day where I am going find the PERFECT spot for it. It's sitting in the same corner of a drawer for all these years. Sometimes I took it out....and... nah...no need for that. NOW it has found that spot. Thank you, also for the 'easy way' of making this mattress platform. What a nice and humorous video.

The generosity of people who put their expertise and time on these videos just amazes me - I watched your video and since I'm pretty puny, I've been thinking of getting a camping cot for half the side of my SUV. Thank you so much for this video and your time!

Subscribed. Thank you for not yelling at the camera and saying "HEEYYYYWUTIZZUPGUYZZZZZ!"

The hip way Matt presents this is so cool.

You are a breath of fresh air. I will be binging your other vids, for more simple ways to get out there

Thanks for including your measurements! I wish everyone would do this!

Just a suggestion; I’d finish it off with automotive carpet to match from your local upholstery shop, they’ll almost certainly have some in stock for sale by the yard… a box cutter & a staple gun & you’re ready to rock! 👍😎🤘

Love the simplicity. Only one thing you left out of the tools and supply list....woodworking skills, of which I have none. I will have to hire a carpenter to do mine. Great minimalist video.

I love your videos and how you explain things. Best channel by far.

I did something similar in my jetta. Surprisingly, it worked.

Sometimes less is so much more, great job showing us this easy conversion 👍

Excellent, simple, quick, & practical!🥂

Matt. Liking your channel! Quick, consise with the right amount of dry humor! Love it!

You have a good sense of humor great job!

Hey great channel. I was able to make my sleeping platform, underlying supports, with integrated storage all from one sheet of plywood.

This was so helpful! I needed a simple build for my Honda Pilot! Thanks!

I love watching these conversion videos as I have a pickup truck that I use for short term camping. My design is even simpler than yours as I don't want any platforms to reduce head height inside as I have a short comfortable beach chair to sit on. I lay a 3" foam mattress cut to fit for 2 people. Were does my stuff go? I hitched a luggage rack on the hitch with 4 fitting fiberglass boxes to hold my camping gear and done ! Everything is strapped down and secure.

My mindset gets on very well with you perspective, very rare at all in my country... were I seem to be a crazy one. I have donde similar this summer... and moved along the Spanish north west sea coast, and was the only one... among an ocean of the usual predictable camping site stuff... the best and flexible and easiest holidays ever! 5 mins to rebuild everything in 5 mins... and off we went to another place... my car? A tiny Renault Scenic , i noticed that I could remove the back seats, and there i sent, just taking the basic... and now i am planning a practical and more confortable update, adding a platform, to get that 31 cms space up under the platform... its a real joy to find we are many insane but possitive mindset to face these dark hours... jajaja... i. pleased to meet you!

Loved your outlook and how you spoke about the topic. Gained a sub.

I love your video!! I’m cracking up laughing!!! Are you a stand up comedian? Your presentation is logical, simple and brilliant!! I have a family member that will benefit from your instructions. Thank you!!!

This channel is vastly underrated. Keep up the quality work!

Thank you! Funny yet practical.

Best of all, build-in bottle-opener. Love it.

Thumbs-up. You made me smile at the end. Great job!

Almost forgot the church key. Good thing there was time for celebrating at the end of the job. Well done!

Yahoo, whoopy😅! You got me. I loved when you pulled out what I thought was your laptop, I had to pause vid, clapping out loud Zowee, yes, going on to see rest and looking forward to using some of your suggestions (links)

Thanks for the stripped down version of the build. It was exactly what I was looking for. Sub.

Bro I have been trying to wreck my brain on building these. I’m soooo glad you did this thanks!!!

Smart thiknking / good project I work as a carpenter and the backpack - tote bag - bucket system works great.

I wish those measurements were for a subaru forester, it will make my project much easier...and just follow your instructions 🤗 Great job you have done!

love the bottle opener

Nice job! Definitely ultra-light version of vanlife. Just add a full cooler and water, and it's ready!

Love everything ...especially the funny parts !

Great choice of beer!

You're awesome. Funny as hell and damned smart! LOVE IT!

Very cool. I need to take at least 3 of those giant bears with me though, so I'm trying to customize my build somehow.

Jenius!!! I have same idea about bags.. But now I know where I put them... It's so simple, why never come out of my mind??

Great idea Matt , I’m in the Canary Islands and this summer I want to take my SUV to mainland Europe..I have to get a ferry which takes 40 hours but it’s comfortable, then I can go where ever I want and while I will stay in some hotels I can use camp sites as well and bring a decent tent..With this simple conversion it’s a bed when I want it and quick to set up..Thanks👏👍

Finally, someone I LIKE to watch! Calm, cool, and collected! LOL! Now, I am outside of Nashville. I have a service dog that needs this set up in my 2022 Kia Soul. How about taking a trip here ?

Hi SuperFast Matt, great channel. I did a build on my Honda Element for $99. Following you now. Cheers!

After spine surgery sleeping in my 4runner isn’t so fun, especially when it’s too snowy to keep my totes outside...this is simple enough for me to actually want to attempt. Not due to lack of skill, knowledge, or tools , but purely based on my extreme laziness. Love the content, hope to see you on the trails one day

Good video. Straight to the point. Thanks! Liked

I liked the video. Thanks for making this video.

The teddy bear was awesome

Great video and you made me laugh. I needed that.

Ahh cheap and easy! 👌 Great video. Nice 4r!

That's superb bro I also made a bed like this but it's in a hatchback car. Built a bed in a car and camping is really fun and enjoyable for me.

Agree with you in terms of simplicity. I would use coroplast laminated in three pieces to make it lighter.for Organization I use shoe bags and jewelry bags.

This was great, it got you another subscriber.

Oh my goodness!! I paused your video to comment before I got to the end! Yes! You absolutely are a comedian!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one with questionable ideas. :)

AMAZING. I live in Uganda at the moment and will follow this fast method. Cheers to Safari life

Thanks. You gave me an idea for a hinged front, not back. I have a 10 yr old that needs that back seat. If I injured in two spots, you could also make a lounge out of the back. Thank you!

Totally fun, thanks.

The using rucksacks for storage is a great tip.

Love the teddy bear!! Lol

Best Overlander build I've seen in awhile

I just love your style... Smiles

My favorite channel these days

Cool video dude! The thought of learning how to plumb in my kitchenette and learn to become an electrician to wire up transformers and solar panels is daunting to the point I don’t feel ready to buy a van to convert it. I currently sleep in my BMW Touring and I want to buy something bigger. Think I’ll start with the Nissan Pathfinder and do something similar to what you’ve got here for now. 👍

I watch your videos on 2x speed to make it superfaster Matt.

I made my Accord a camper after I eyeballed the right half of it and realized I could fit a 6 foot long bed in there. So the back left is my living room and the right half is the bedroom. It's a lot more attainable when you don't overcomplicate things.

The giant teddy bear...nice touch! LOL

Suggestions: make the top sleeping boards smaller so you can reach in while inside without moving everything. Get a camping cot so no need to build the platform. How can you measure with the front seats all the way forward and then use them? Making the platform so it can slide in and out for the bed area also allows for having a couch type setup inside when you can't be outside due to the weather.

Quick job - should work fine! Safety precaution : you should firmly attached for bed frame to the chassis (in case of rollover)

love it. keep it simple. my number one rule..

I don’t know that’s pretty cheap and easy, but I definitely emptied all the tools out of my work van, (Dodge Grand Caravan) and chucked in the smallest camping chair I had and an old army cot. The hardest part was emptying the tools 🧰

I like this. I don't want my own sink, countertop, and a toilet when camping. I just want my own bed!

Very good and easygoing....

Smart Design👍😄

fun video, well done. i obsessed way too much about mine being level. i later found out that if the bed platform is a little higher on the front seats end and a tad lower on the cargo end, that's totally cool cause otherwise you have the blood rushing to your head all night. (let the snarky jokes fly)

Like your style, simple yet effective. Some of these other people are Overkill.

U R a sooooooper man ......with the Undies IN ..... :)

Very entertaining and what a great idea. Not particularly involved and it works great

its like attending a seminar on how to convert your car. thank you

BAM. Love it, ty.

Enjoyable video. I love seeing quick, inexpensive build-outs for camping. What about just buying a cot to set up in the vehicle?

A friend of mine did something like this on his Opel corsa hatchback, although smaller

Nice. I take out the seats in my Tesla and sleep on a sh1tty piece of ply. Still haven't got around to doing this as 'properly' as you!

Reminds me of my Outback build. But due to lack of head space. The bed was a fail. Lol

Nice touch

I’d love to make a platform that can be pushed up to fit in the trunk and act as storage in some form for daily commute and then push it down to a flag surface for a bed.

The problem with your design is the way you situated the 2x4's..you should of placed them flat versus upright..you'd have 2 more inches of space under the bed allowing more or bigger items to stow under..

I like it. I subscribed.

Nice to see the Costco oversized bear making an appearance. I always wondered who actually bought those things...! 🧐😎😜

Love this idea and it’s simplicity. Would love this for my Honda HRV. Question. With the front seats pushed all the way up, how can you drive the vehicle? Seems like it would need to be built in two sections so it could fold in half lengthwise.

Watching this at the camp site in my converted VAN. Thanks, youtube =)

this was awesome..

You should do a video on your fsae racing. That would be really cool, the book was awesome

Lol.. best part, bottle opener

Lots of laugh during this video. Have a +1

Quick & easy. Spent too much on mine.

It is great idea. Shows me how to save money for car camping.

How do you drive with the front seats shoved all of the way up?

It makes me so happy you have a limited :)

You just made a nice compact bed, I will make one for my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I appreciate it! #Cuba

Unrelated to the subject of the video--Where'd you pick up that tire carrier?

I'm gunna make my own version with a folding table as the bed. So when you wake up and you need a table you just take the bed out and you have a table.

Hi Matt. I have a 2000 Toyota 4Runner Limited. Do you think your measurements will work? I noticed yours is a limited as well.
