I'm enjoying and benefitting from your videos every day. You might not be around anymore, but if you are I would love to meet you some day. You have good taste in music.
I keep thinking that I am going more towards getting a van and designing a set up. This was a great idea on your bed. The Bed is the biggest challenge on space design! Enjoyed your video!
Bachelor Van Sleeping on the tiny spaces ALL the time just can't be healthy. I've been widowed for five months, sleeping on my husband's recliner and couches in the living room and my 47 year old body feels like I'm about 74!! I'm making my full sized daybed this weekend!! Hopefully in 2.5 years when I will be old enough to draw my husband's SSI and my son goes to college, I'll have my Astro van done and can hit the road!

Efficiency and Style sing from your efforts. I'm living in my van and look forward to using efficiencies that UA-cam-eRs share. Thanks and best wishes!
offthehook4u - Cut the foam half way through and put the cut down. That way it folds easily but stays together when in bed mode. Happy travels - Harold
Happy Easter to you Brian from Southern Louisiana. Just found your channel from your comment on Office Campers channel. Have an "Adventure Van" myself, love knowing where ever you are you have everything one needs. Explore the National Forest with my AV. Next upgrade is the Fantastic Fan. Enjoy Yourself out there, be safe, Brother........ Larry H
thanks for your comment. Ive been thru southern Louisiana...camped out for a couple nights. I remember it being hot and humid...that Fantastic fan will do wonders in your van! peace
Great design on the couch/bed...super simple. I can just imagine sitting on the couch looking at an awesome view and enjoying some cannabis...heaven on earth. Your van is one of my favorites on UA-cam...simple, functional, clean and organized.
Super awesome vid buddy!! I'm so sorry I was late today getting on live chat but I had to work and then it was ONLY by accident that I even found out about it!! hehe. Things are going to just get better for you from this point forward if you believe in yourself..I believe in you bro. Cheers and here's looking at nothing but good times from here on out.
Thank for tour of new bed,/sofa arrangment. Know you have rearranged your latest van for your needs now which I like also. 2 bed options for a van. Safe journey. Jp
Hey Brian, Happy Easter to you as well!! Great set up and I really like your two sided couch design!! Wow, what a great way to enjoy the interior living space and then just flip it over to enjoy the absolutely incredible scenery (especially in beautiful San Diego). Keep up the great work!
am looking at the best way to work my mitsubishi delica conversion, this looks like the best and cheapest compromise I have seen, rock and roll beds are expensive here in uk £500 + so thanks for your video and ideas man, much appreciated.
Nice vid. Can I give a tip on the sliding crates, which I use? Cut a piece of cardboard to lay inside on the bottom to keep things from protruding and catching on the floor. Bon voyage!
Very nice! If I didn't have my bike and all the work stuff I would've done something similar. But like you said; it's only wood and screws. It can all be redone in the future. 😄👍🚐 Happy Easter!
If I live long enough to draw Social Security which I'm not too far from it not quite but close I'd like to buy one of those hightop Vans some of them is already laid out like a camper,,,but just a regular cargo van the long extended kind if it already had a high top would be cool I could try and fix mine up like you did yours
Good day to you.I just found this video of the inside of your van. Do you have proper Insulations to keep you warm or cool in the seasons?This is the date I found the video, 1O.9.2O17.You are always neat anda Tidy personlay.
Walmart sells those memory foam all different thicknesses course they cost too darn much I've got a worn out bed mattress and I just threw a memory foam on top of it from Walmart try to save some money
+Its all about dog show I dont. Unfortunately I didt not take any footage of the build. There are some pictures of it on my blog wordpress/adventurevanman

Love mailboxes as storage idea. Agree with the others your bed/couch design is great.
I thought the mailbox was a great idea :) thanks
Love the couch face front or back.
Very clever design!

thanks. good luck
Your bed is just fine, most time spent in your van is sleeping and driving ! Comfort is king ! I'm blown away at the tiny beds people sleep on....lol

I'm saving for a new van.... bed will be done this way.
Great design on the couch/bed...super simple. I can just imagine sitting on the couch looking at an awesome view and enjoying some cannabis...heaven on earth.
Your van is one of my favorites on UA-cam...simple, functional, clean and organized.
Peter Parker thank you :)
Good idea ! Thanks for sharing !
thank you
Great ideas in this bed/couch build... tons of organized storage under, sturdy construction, and comfy couch facing both ways... I like!
Simple, logical, easy to maneuver "bouch" (bed-couch).
Good access to storage underneath.
nice- smart thinking
HR McKee thanks
That's for sharing that. I need to put a bed in my van to transport my wife to and from doctor appointments, and this may just be the ticket!
Great bed design.
HAPPY EASTER...HE has risen !
Enjoy .... The Simple Life
I’m 999 on your meter, lol
Very cool couch bed
happy easter
I am copying this build for my van! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
Great idea for the couch... Love that... WTG!

thank you for your comment bro! My first live chat....it was fun. take care my friend :)
Pretty cool that three quarter-inch probably makes it a lot more solid too
I dig it!
You could drill a hole thru the brackets and 1 x 2 supports and drop a bolt in there to secure the boards while in couch mode. Very nice set up.
I love your creativity and joy.
Very good design. It is great that you can utilize it either towards the front or the back.
thanks. Its been working out pretty good :)
Oh goodness me. Forgot to compliment you about the change of Bed-to seating lounge. Very good idea indeed.
Thank for tour of new bed,/sofa arrangment. Know you have rearranged your latest van for your needs now which I like also. 2 bed options for a van. Safe journey. Jp
Nice !

Very nice setup.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
thanks
great design...Thanks for sharing :)
Great set up!!!
I would be interested in that flat screen 😊👍
Simple + slick! Nice.
awesome... thanks ... I like that it can also be a couch..
well done; thanks for sharing
Very nice video. I have that same incense holder :)
thanks. I burn Nag Champa....love it :)
Great idea! Thank you for posting!
hope it was helpful. take care
Thanks, nice setup!

Brilliant designer!
I'm presently building one.
Please explain how to use chains in couch position.
i think it will be better if you can install a high top in your van
you will have more room
PHISH!
Good day to you.I just found this video of the inside of your van. Do you have proper Insulations to keep you warm or cool in the seasons?This is the date I found the video, 1O.9.2O17.You are always neat anda Tidy personlay.
Walmart sells those memory foam all different thicknesses course they cost too darn much I've got a worn out bed mattress and I just threw a memory foam on top of it from Walmart try to save some money
I have the same van and made the same bed what size plants did you use for back two planks and the one in the back??
Nice couch/bed. So, how long is it? I'm 6'4'' would I fit? Cool set up either way.
thanks. its 6' long but its wide enough if you lay diagonal you get an extra foot.
Can I get more information on this build
Having 2 pieces of foam, does it tend to slip apart when sleeping? If so how dod you keep it from moving? Paul F
Would like to know that too!
What wheelbase size is your van?
What are measurements for Bed?
Do you have video of your van insulation? Thanks
+Its all about dog show I dont. Unfortunately I didt not take any footage of the build. There are some pictures of it on my blog wordpress/adventurevanman
Thanks! are you from San Diego? When are you be back if your from SD?
Do you find that the 4 inch pad is enough cushion for sleeping?
Its just enough, I sleep well on it. I would like to add a 1 1/2" memory foam on top for added comfort :)
6" is the way to go. 4" is enough to sleep on but it is too thin as a backrest.
it would be easier to use chains to hold up the bedcouch
easier, but more $...Im a cheapskate ;)
+AdventureVanMan Check the thrift stores you can find the chains and other things that you might need there.Cheers
planks
just sub u today off of James recent hangout. good luck growing your channel and the journey
thanks and welcome :) hope you enjoy my videos
I get the lifestyle but I could never keep my guitar in my car its basically guitar suicide.
Im hoping all the exposure to the heat gives me a unique tone! :)
