- Two and a half years ago I bought a VW T6 Transporter panel van, today I have a self built quirky campervan. Here is a photographic record of me building a pull out bed for my not so vanlife van #vanlife #vwtransporter #campervan

Great video has given me an excellent idea of how to have a built on bed and still be able to get my motorbike in. Thanks for the content and sharing your ideas
Thanks for the lovely comment.
@@GS04WAL your welcome. You've taken your time to share your ideas. Was just watching another of your videos was 20sqm of carpet enough to do all the metal work and ply panels walls and ceiling. Many thanks
@@socialising6037 Yes more than enough, I think a standard lining kit for a SWB van is 10m. In addition I did the lower bulkhead which is propably another 2m ish. Check out Harrisons or Kiravans. They sell the lining kits with everything you need.
@@GS04WAL excellent cheers was just having a look on ebay will check out them places, think I'm going to try tackle the metal work next weekend, attempting to make a sliding bed this weekend over the rear wheel arches.
@@socialising6037 Nice one, let me know how you get on!
Just built my own mate using this video mate cheers . Really good video thanks for sharing 👍
Cheers, hope it went well. Check out HughTube if you are building more stuff. Lots of innovative ideas.
Lookin' good! Sure it'll be lovely and comfy :)
We want more!! 😍
VanTastic Traveling Hopefully the electrics will be done next week. I may have to do some speaking as well 🤪
What size wood did you use? Trying to figure it out! Thanks...
Hi Alison, this is the timber I used for the frame www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Studwork-CLS-Timber---38-x-63-x-2400mm/p/107177
Morning, great super easy to follow video - what timber did you use for the top slats?
He is a link to where I bought the timber I used for the frame. www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Studwork-CLS-Timber---38-x-63-x-2400mm/p/107177www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Studwork-CLS-Timber---38-x-63-x-2400mm/p/107177
@@GS04WAL thanks, did you use the same for the slats?
It was different stuff but if I was doing it again I would go to Ikea and get the curved bed slats they use on their flat pack beds. I've heard that they are much more comfortable.
Cracking content in your video fella. Nice to see it built from scratch. You are definitely worthy of more subscribers! I'll give you a shoutout on my next video mucka! All the best from PEAKY 😎👍
Thanks, will do!
Greg your van looks mega mate! About to do the exact same with my Caddy whats the score with attaching the bed frame to the van are you using brackets or screwing directly into the van floor etc?
Thanks for the comment. My bed isn't actually fixed down. However, I reckon 6 angle brackets in to the floor would do the trick. One in each corner and two in the middle.
That music though!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks awesome, do you secure it to the bottom of the car at all? Im looking into building something like this
Its not fixed down. I take it out so I can still use the space for cargo if required. Its quite heavy so doesn't really shift around when driving. It would just need some angle brackets to fix it to the floor and sides if required.
Guided video mate. What size timbers did you use? 3 by 2 inch?
They are 38mm x 63mm, not sure what that is in imperial, apologies. Heres the Wickes URL www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Studwork-CLS-Timber---38-x-63-x-2400-mm/p/107177
But it shows nothing......certainly not a "Pull out bed".
What is it then?
Waiting....
