    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!

    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.

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!

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?

    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?
