      Hey 👋🏼 my parents defo helped with technical (mainly electric and plumbing) advice but the project was 100% built and funded by myself and my partner.

    Awesome, awesome build.
    I love the placement of the "wetroom".
    I too do not like the idea of the electricity near my sleeping area.
    Totally jelly ......
    Much Peace/Love to y'all. Stay safe....🩵💚💛🧡❤️💜

    Love the design! About the bed building process: To be fair you need to add the time for sheets/topper and blanket in the evening / morning. 🤫 All in all: great! - Only one problem for me: The steering wheel is on the wrong side. 🥲. Best from Germany!

  • @NoviceWildCamper
    @NoviceWildCamper 4 місяці тому +1

    Ive spent an age debating on bed types as im 6'4 and cant fit widthways but what puts me off of a sliding bed is although it only takes a few seconds to open it, you then have to make the bed. Put the sheet on, store the quilt somewhere which takes more space, pillows etc. So a sliding bed isnt for me. Its all personal i suppose and if it works for you thats all that matters. Great looking conversion though 👍

    15 secs to make the bed isn't realistic because you still have to out the sheets, duvet, pillows etc on. up to you of course but i'd prefer a permanent bed

    • @Wandering_Blue
      @Wandering_Blue  5 місяців тому +1

  • @BotaFaCose
    @BotaFaCose 6 місяців тому +2

    15 sec bed without putting on/taking of blankets, duvet, and storing pillows… plus: it’s not a real mattress, a couple “sleeping” together 😇 will fall in the holes between those parts… And also: bed in that position blocks the passage… bad layout imho.

      @Wandering_Blue  6 місяців тому +2

      Valid points but this works perfectly for what we need it for dude. Would love to see your setup! ❤️
