@@MattTheDesigner It's very cool, the simplest solutions are the cleanest looking and by far the best. Tiny note on pocket screws, they are useful when you don't have access to other side, but if you do, the other way is stronger.
@@MattTheDesigner Thanks, I’ll definitely let you know when I get around to it! I wanted a solution that would let me keep using the car as a normal car, with the whole camping setup hidden in the trunk and easily accessible. I don’t really use the trunk to transport stuff, so that camping setup can just stay there, always ready to go. Your solution is definitely the most elegant one I’ve found!
Two years later and am just finding this gem! I am a one handed builder so I’m having to make a lot of adaptations in the build process and loads of mistakes but this was the first plan/video that actually seemed obtainable. Thanks so much!
Hey Michael, that's awesome....do you have your own you tube channel? If not then maybe you should......One Handed Builder would be a great name for it :)
My partner and I wanted to build a bed for our 2016 CRV. We needed my dads help because he’s handy. He wasn’t really keen on the idea but he came across your video and he was hooked. He printed your plans, brought them to Home Depot and was really committed. We plan to use it this weekend for the first time, just waiting for our trifold mattress to arrive. Thanks again!
Dude, thanks so much for this!!! Just built one for my 2005 CRV with some minor changes. Used your 2nd build's base and then fitted some runners for the tabletop and covered the whole thing in interior trim, less glue, no pocket screws and hides the screws, then secured with 2 location pins. Stoked!
What height did you need for the legs to clear the rear seats? I sort of thought about 36cm for my 05 Cr-v. Also the front and back legs can be the same height right? As the floor is flat
@@bnosluoc4830 sorry, just saw this now. I used an extra sheet and made legs the same length as base section, i.e. created a box for storage, so no open sides and opted with either 400mm/450mm in order to clear the back seat when folded/use the folded back seats as support for the middle section. The headrest section folded out with piano hinge and I can set it to lean up against front seats, like a day bed, or lie flat for when sleeping, without building any additional supports.
I’ve been looking for something like this for months! Thank you so much. Might make some adjustments but overall will follow what you did. Thanks again
This is so awesome! just started doing some research because my daughter has agreed to help me build out my SUV for camping...she's my "handy-woman". She will be so excited that I found this awesome build! Thank you!!!
SUGGESTION MOD- To reduce weight of the build & provide circulation to the mattress (helps to eliminate mold from condensation), you might want to drill a hole pattern in the platform & supports. Great design!!
You’re funny Brother, “I didn’t know how to but I watched a bunch of UA-cam videos” … and here I am watching you!….thanks for your efforts, my college daughter is ecstatic with her new build…thanks to you 🙏🏻
Hey Matt, we are almost 3 weeks in to a road trip across,down and back the country. We modified your design to fit in a Dodge Journey. Got it built in one day, but we used a CNC and Kreg Jig machine to get it done faster! Video below. Thanks! ua-cam.com/video/KYht9OWO2Ew/v-deo.html
Did you think about having one that just raises up? I'm going with that - much faster in practice - everything stays put - can raise it or lower it more or less - works for a trailer - why not a SUV? Get to work!
I absolutely love how you research UA-cam videos to find out how to do things!!! I do too. And giving the links to the videos you used is extremely helpful! Thanks!
Love this design! I did something similar but yours is much cleaner. My pull out table is on drawer tracks, but I think I want to simplify down to just a friction system like yours - quick question, are those wedges on the plywood table simply glued on, or are they screwed as well?
JUst brilliant Matt. I have watched this a few times now and also the 2.0 version. I think your explanations and logical thought process sync with most people. Thanks a bunch mate, cheers from Oz.
@@Robocalypse0101, no, it's not level for my 2013. It's incline higher at the second row seats when folded down. I simply take them off and have so much more space for stuffs.
Holy moly! I’ve been looking for a build just like this for months now. It didn’t show up in searches cause I was using Honda CRV build in the search. This is the best build video by far and the fact you included measurements is insane. Thanks so much Matt. Can’t wait to get started on mine.
I ended up getting 1/2" plywood on accident. Did you feel like the 3/4" was sturdy? When I built it out and tried laying on it, I noticed it dipped quite a bit in the middle. Wondering if it's worth re-trying with 3/4"
@@TimmyLodhi I haven’t noticed any flexing on ours. I used 3/4 and it was hardwood plywood. I’m not sure if that makes a different in strength. I just chose it because it looked good.
Hi Matt - love this design, and was planning to modify it for my Gen 3 Pajero, but have lost the plans, and can’t seem to find them on your website. Hoping they’re still available somewhere (sent an email via your website also). The new bed design is also great, but we need the height of the original in order to accomodate a 140cm wide mattress for two humans and a 40kg dog :-)
@@MattTheDesigner - thanks Matt. Seems to not be working on Safari desktop, which is why I didn't see it (might be a client side issue also). Definitely works on Brave/Chrome.
You need to clean that corrosion from your car battery before installing the new one. Otherwise you’re gonna have issues with a new one as well down the road.
I myself watch and learn how to do many things from online but I believe this dude can perform brain surgery just by following Utube videos.. Kudos on the awesome learning & building abilities! :)
Nice sharing my friend 🫰🥰 I like it, thank for the video... Simple but looks neat, well done. I get some idea to transform my mini car in to mini camper car 😍✌️
I could see the benefit of building one of these but the build time would have been insanely quicker using 2x's and screws instead of all that pocket hole stuff. Overall it's a good build. Btw. I think the handle for the sliding table is unnecessary. It gets in the way for storage below. A couple of finger holes would have been sufficient
I have Honda Crv 2015 is that possible can you make me one and sell it to me please! This will make my wish come true. I wanted to try camping with it and or I live in my CRV.
Genial!!!! Eu estava procurando por um projeto de cama que fosse legal pra fazer na minha CRV 2010 e vi que você vez algo muito bem montado e interessante. Obrigado por compartilhar!!!
From humble beginnings, to where you are now! Still enjoyable videos, and definitely looking forward to seeing what's next! 🤠 Don't forget to update your playlists, since you've done several projects for your rig! 😏
Possibly the cleanest camp set up I've seen in the last couple of days! Inspired me to do a similar set up in the future. I have a question, however. For the headrest part, you're relying solely on the hinges only? What if you accidentally applied too much force/weight on the headrest part, wouldn't it break?
Thanks for sharing this and including measurements! You did an excellent job of explaining things too. I just bought a 2014 Honda CRV and have been looking at different options. Yours is practically perfect. I will use this with some modifications. I want to be able to leave the smaller 40 section of the 60/40 rear seats up but have the option of a wider platform if I want a larger sleeping area. It will need a little more wood for a second set of guide rails but no big deal.
I don't have any tools but I have thought of making something like this for my suv.. There is a really steep incline after the initial 2ft. I am thinking about getting a 4x8 sheet of plywood and have it cut up so that I could layer it and even out the back for my bed. Been puzzling over it in my head.
Awesome design presented with thought, skill, and with genuine execution! Well done Matt. I don’t own any tools other than a hammer, measuring tape, and screwdriver. What other tools are “must haves” to build some cool stuff???
Hi Matt, I’m Kevin. Your feed came up, as I was watching UA-cam. I’m mesmerized. I’m creative in my head, but not mechanically inclined. I’m also in a wheelchair. S#it happens. We just bought a new to us, pickup. And to be able to GO camping..sleeping in the truck bed will be necessary. Can you help me build a platform with a drawer? We have a GMC Sierra 1500, I’m hoping to get a camper shell, within 3 months. Today is July 10, 2022
Hello Kevin, would love to help you but with a full time job this is still just a hobby for me. I’d recommend making a play list of all your favorite truck builds and show them to a local carpenter. Everything I’m doing should be pretty easy for a trained professional. I hope that helps and let me know if there’s any specific challenge you’re trying to solve but aren’t finding existing solutions for on YT.
Super cool! Loving the idea and how you re used the door hinges! Question: do you think rubbinig wax between the table and it's interior would help with the sliding friction? or just not necesary? Great vid
Ok, I got as far as "I measured the SUV and then watched some UA-cam videos about Cinema 4D" when I closed the other browser window where I had Autodesk Fusion360 and some other YT tutorial videos for that software while making my own plans and realized there are people out there like me 🤣
Check out the one I have linked in the description. I was thinking I’d make a more detailed version if anyone asked. Looks like I might have to do that!
I followed along with your instructions and video. It is a great design and very simple. The fact that it is in two sections cuts down on the hassle of loading and unloading it. I was stuck for so long trying to think how I'd like to build a sleeper platform for my Jeep. Following your idea allowed me to get it done and now I'm happy to have an ideal platform for trips
I loved your video and used some of the ideas to make my own platform for my Forrester. I also now love pocket holes!! Thanks Matt! Yet to test it out as we hit COVID lockdown here in Oz!
When I unfurl the bed I slide the front seats forward. Once the bed is set up I slide the seats back. The back of the front seats push against the front edge of the bed and hold it in place.
You need to clean that corrosion from your car battery before installing the new one. Otherwise you’re gonna have issues with a new one as well down the road.
Well freaking done! I really aprreciate a.) the single piece of plywood and b.) the humility / "i dont know figure it out" attitude you bring to the youtube woodworking sphere
Probably the most unique sleeping system on UA-cam. The fact you used one sheet of plywood is impressive.

In our CRV no. It mostly rests on the folded seats without a ton of overhang. But that will be different with different cars.

Sleeps a 6 footer now problem as long as they are less than 5 feet wide. 😁
Do you have a tent extension for your car? Next thing, I say! ...if not! 😆
I just bought a popup canopy with walls like they have at fairs. It’s kinda big so idk if it was the best option yet.
Thanks for the video. What is the weight of the overall build?
I don’t know exactly but I’d guess around 75lbs
Just take me money I need this 🥺
Simple and efficient! 👍
Well freaking done! I really aprreciate a.) the single piece of plywood and b.) the humility / "i dont know figure it out" attitude you bring to the youtube woodworking sphere
Thanks Earth All Night! I like your channel!
