Keep up the great work my Older Brother George who passed away last December loved watching your videos and was in the process of altering his van and RV using your videos as inspiration I remember him showing me your videos so I subscribed and seeing your video pop up made me smile thinking of him. Thank you for all that you do and hope you know you inspire many much love!
Great way you solved the problen of the slats on the bed! I just did my bed in my 1987 J9 and used a high quality, custom cut foam of only 4". Its actually very comfortable to sleep on.
I usually like to make my mattresses out of 4 inch memory foam! My client bought this mattress and asked me to install it into the van. I didn’t realize how thick it was until it was out of the box 🤷🏽♂️
@@Dualex_Builds I have been trying to reach you. I am extremely interested in having you do some renovations in my RV ASAP!!! How do I reach you, or how can you reach me?
Another great video. You make it look so easy. When things don't fit or work right, you always have a fix for it. You are a talented carpenter. It doesn't appear that you take many short cuts. I've watched a lot of your builds and they are always top notch. I think you found your niche, camper and camper van builds. Thank you for sharing your project. I look forward to part 2 of this build.
DUAL EX- someone is stalking your commenters, posting and email from”UA-cam” that you have selected the commenter to win Camping Gear, and asking us to reach out using “Telegram”. I’m sure it is a scam. You might want to Pin a warning at the top of comments.
Another inspiring video! We love your commentary and your dedication to making your projects better, not just completing them. Love watching you problem solve when issues come up, and you creative solutions. Big fans!❤❤
Crazy skills! I really enjoy watching your work. Years ago I built a teardrop trailer, so I know how complex it can be and how you have it all figured out. Keep up the amazing work!
My couch slides out into my bed too-although not over the kitchen. Maybe on the next remodel. lol Great design! I have a shiki buton-basically a futon that I sleep on, I just fold part of the side next to the wall over during the day for a backrest. No cutting involved, about 5" thick when you're sleeping on it, and very comfortable. Just an option.
I've slept on futons all my life. It's hard getting used to normal mattresses. My back always hurts badly when doing the switch. I hope you don't experience that.
@@charisma-hornum-fries I seem to be able to switch back and forth easily. Some friends I visit really want me to stay in their homes-so I do. But I prefer my van and shiki buton.
You do great wood working, really enjoy watching your vids, been doing my van upgrades for years. Just enjoy the thought you put into your builds, Bill
Hello DuaEx, I've admired your work remodeling vans and creating storage and space in seemingly impossible places, so on to my reason for making this post I have a two-part sectional couch which I would like to raise and also create a daybed sort of situation and some storage within the raised space. What ideas of any might you have for something like this?
You do some great work and you have a great outlook once you miss the mark you figure it out to make it right alway glad to see your work keep up the great work young men 🤗
Made me chuckle. I has the same issue with a mattress i got from amazon. Expanded to 10" and left no room in my laal van. Its now in my spare room and i had to by a cheaper thinner one that works perfectly. Nice work on the sliding bed design btw
The more builds you do the better your craftsmanship gets You're becoming a master! Thank you for sharing your videos. I learn a lot about tools and process just by watching.
Great Job! Building out your own van is such a great challenge, not just for your body but for all the things that no one ever taught us. Adapting and over coming challenges seems to be my van story also, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Glad to see other van peeps go with this style bed, its what I went with also! You will enjoy the ease of it and the room. I would be careful with that cooktop tho, don't jump in the bed to hard and crack it. Great workmanship. You have a new sub!
Dude I hope that people pay you for your plans. Everything you design is absolute genius. One day I will build a van using your plans and will pay for your genius.
Can I get a list of all your fave gadgets that would work for a man on the go? My husband is a master craftsman but full time dad now. It's been almost a year on the road with me and the kids while I am travel nursing. We love our new life but he needs some upgrades this Christmas as he continues to remodel our little home. We love watching your vids! Not a lot of old school teachings like this anymore! It's all in the details. Stay blessed and happy holidays!
Nice, have been planning to do this too, also you can buy a pre-made system like this (with foam mattress already cut in half and wrapped in fabric) by buying an Ikea day bed (and using the leftover side parts for something else)
Nice to see you still doing your thing. Wish you would spray paint those holes before putting on the rivnuts. If you ever take apart one of these build after a couple years of use you'll see why. For the bed frame felt slides better than rubber and will protect that countertop as well. Also I don't get the cabinets above the headspace on the drivers side. We gonna get to see you do some upholstery on the mattress pieces?
Keep up the amazing videos. You truly have a special gift and you use it to bless others on how to do things. Your talent is amazing. My stepdad was the same way he’s gone now but I learned so much from him. Keep going love it.
I have a similar bed design in my van except that the sliding part is made of iron pipe and is supported by the iron pipe ladder when fully extended...
Great build. Glad you got the electric knife. A sailing channel ordered a mattress like that and they cut one or two layers off of it for fit and comfort, have your shop vac handy. LOL 😂 Have you ever thought about using any lightweight metal studs for framing ? Thanks.
This is dope man. I have a promaster 1500 I intend to do the same thing with. I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I’m imitating so much of what you’ve done. But particularly this build. Same van. Love the space saving.
And this is why I watch your videos. The first time I saw you extended the bed I saw the way the boards lifted up and I thought uh-oh. Most people ( including myself) would have said I can deal with that but you went the extra mile. I would love for you to build a van for me in a couple years. Do you think $15,000 would do a build?
Mr. Dulex, please tell us how why you put the achor for the slat system on top of the bed frame instead of on the bottom so it not only kept the slats alined but also acted as a stopping block so you did not pull the slide out of its place. I did not see that action in the bed slide system. Please elaborate?
Dude your work is very professional and brilliant! You deserve more headroom, have you considered the spacers that extend 4” on each side? They install like a window. Bless you, happy travels.
If you move the support piece you added to the top of the pull out to the bottom side, it would also act as a stop to prevent someone from pulling it too far.
Without Kreg's and Dewalt's help, where would we be? My gramps would be shocked at modern tools. He built mills, cabinets, houses, doors, even the old Disney Studio. I inherited his tools. He would be impressed with your talents.
I attached a board under my wood, it allows the strips to stay in place and lock it from sliding all the way out, i then added two aluminum strips under the fixed piece to stop the slide part from dropping down.
So ...when are your sponsors bringing you to the UK to build out my van!?? I've got my own plans a la sketchbook but your bed is deffo a winner! Similar set-up too👍😉🙏

Sorry to hear about your brother passing away. My brother passed away this year, also. 🙏🏽🇬🇧
@@Hackbridge1963 My Condolences Brother 🙏
So sorry
So sorry for your loss. May God bless you daily!
So sorry to hear about your brother George, I would love to see what he did! Its very inspiring
When you showed your bandaged hand I had a "mom" reaction. I felt it in my ankles and feet. Good thing I was sitting down! You do excellent work.
Best ever stop the bleeding keep working shop bandage ever,a wadded up paper towel and duct tape !
You are a craftsman! And a kind hearted person as well! We need more people like you in this world. Cheers to you.
I will never build out a van to live in, but it sure is interesting watching you do it! Great editing

Rivnuts are neat, but can they spin out years later? Would some red loctite under the rivnut be a good idea?
I have no building skills what-so-ever but I find your videos so relaxing! Not to mention your end results are always so perfect!
DualAx videos and my bedtime stories and so relaxing.
Your editing rules.
I love the build.
So many possibilities!!!
Such a cool video! I don't want to wish my life away, but I sure wish I had a skill set like yours.
Forget the plans, can I download you so you can help me do it. 🤣 Great work as always!
Love the picture angles and audio. A beautiful restful AMSR style vid. So peaceful to watch and listen to.

Good attention to detail and high-quality workmanship. Pay attention here newbs!
Been watching your channel for a while now, amazing to see how far you have grown since you started. Fantastic work!
Can imagine that it is much easier to have faith in the future if you're a builder.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR PROJECTS, STEP BY STEP. THANK YOU!!
Keep it up young man! Continue to make us proud!
I love watching your work. Both ingenuity and pride and quality of craftsmanship.
Glad you didn’t mess up your hands to badly there. Keep killing it brother.

Thanks for this and including the planned mistakes😃

You’re definitely a handy man mate! The skills you have are incredible!
beautiful woodwork. The only thing I'd do different is to rust-protect the steel after drilling holes...
YAY OMGoodness you used the elec knife! Cool work!
Keep it coming my guy... One of these days I'll start a project God willing 🙏
Very cool. Thank you for posting your creative work

You're awesome to watch and great explanatory
you have come a long way with your build quality, great work
Love this bed design! Integrate in ALL our builds! You ever try the flex seal shower pan yet?? Thanks bro 🤙🏻

Such a pleasure to watch. That thing that helps you put screws in at an angle is really cool. 👌 You are a true artist and craftsman!:)
Lol. I had the same when I first got my mattress. I got a 12 but couldn't sit on my bed without my head hitting. Had to get the 8".
very good and helpful for the same guys have the same hobby😊
Electric Kitchen Knife ??? You are an artist
😲 Wow, You did a GREat Job👍
If you move the support piece you added to the top of the pull out to the bottom side, it would also act as a stop to prevent someone from pulling it too far.
There’s actually a stop block that prevents it from sliding too far on the support rails but I forgot to mention that in the video

Maybe try some delrin plastic on the underside that’s on the countertop. It will slide well and not leave any marks.
I’ll check that out. Thank you for the tip!
I agree.. you are awesome
Great workmanship :)
Great video. Well done.
Spectacular build, and excellent film work as well! New Subscriber!
