Bed Slide Out - How It Was Made

🌟How I Made a Bed Slide Out that adds more space and function to our van🌟
I designed and built this rear DIY bed slide-out that gives the van more room and adds dual purpose to the area in the back of the van.
This video details the steps I used to custom build this bed slide out. It is intended for those viewers that are interested in how I built this really cool DIY slide out unit.

[@emiliawier2137]

You are awsome ✨ I hope I will have a chance to build similar, even by my own 💃😎

[@tlmelec]

Thanks for the kind words!

You definitely have a wide variety of skill sets. Impressive. How are you automating the slides? I have a disabled child that is wheelchair bound and I’m looking for ideals on lift access for a van. I like your van I would need wider walk ways. I’m thinking of building a camper on the back of a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel. I would like to utilize your slide method. Do you have any issues with the cabinet slides just being held on with small screws?

[@tlmelec]

Thanks for the compliment. I'm afraid the slide out would be a poor option as far as ADA compliance goes. It adds a 5" step up on the floor. The slide is powered by a 12V linear actuator. The screws on the slides are stainless #10 x 1.5" and I have no problem with them. Since the slide out is a cantilevered design, most of the load is on rollers and not the slides. I would seek out an accredited wheel chair lift for safety reasons and hope you are able to find a good solution.

Superb engineering! Would love to know your cost and man hours

[@tlmelec]

A build like this one costs about $90K including the ~1200 hrs labor. Add to that 51K to 85K for a new Promaster depending on features (I got my Promaster 2500 new in 2020 for 45K).

Have you tired 60/40 extruded aluminum verses wood. This is much thinner and improved strength

[@brianwilkerson3281]

Excuse tried…

[@tlmelec]

I've used a lot of profiles in the past. I just didn't want to give up an arm or leg at the time. I had to pick my battles with what was reasonably available at the time. 🙂

[@tlmelec]

I've worked with a lot of different extrusions over the years. Back when I built this, I had to pick my battles between what was available and what I could afford.🙂
