Deciding what to do with your bed is probably the biggest decision for your entire van build because it basically defines your layout, space and storage.

These 10 designs feature the tried and tested as well as some more unusual design options.

I hope you enjoy! We plan on doing a part two of this (probably another 10 – when we have filmed enough!).

    Van people are always 4ft tall in these types of videos.

  2. Joey on January 22, 2023 at 4:44 am

    Where’s the elevating bed?

  3. dyscea on January 22, 2023 at 4:44 am

    I basically live in a bed. Why make it everyday? 🤣🥰

  4. Lea Herbert on January 22, 2023 at 4:45 am

    hey guys instead of having car show’s you should have van conversion shows? just idea out there for ya guys, remember me lol.

  5. Matt Dean on January 22, 2023 at 4:46 am

    your misses is smokn hot!

  6. Jack liu on January 22, 2023 at 4:46 am

    What’s interesting is that my 2004 Lexus rx330 also has a rock and roll bed, as the seats can be fully adjusted to a flat position. Being close to 6ft tall however it is a bit uncomfortable to sleep in as I can’t fully stretch out. If you’re slightly shorten however, it’s absolutely awesome

  7. Esval on January 22, 2023 at 4:46 am

    Fixed beds are the best. I need my bed to be ready to use after a long day.

  8. Ray White on January 22, 2023 at 4:48 am

    I’d watch more of your videos if you ditched your side-kick.

  9. Pat C on January 22, 2023 at 4:49 am

    Don’t forget about Murphy beds and floating beds!

    Van Life ist zu Ende.
    Die der Grünen, Klimahüpfer und Klimaretter
    Sie werden die Welt von euch befreien. Ihr habt kein Recht mer zu existieren. Ihr dürft nur noch in einer Baracke leben und Sklavendienste tun.
    Es wird kein Geld mehr geben, weil es nichts mehr gibt was ihr braucht und kaufen könnt.

    i clicked for the abs

  14. Osi Townsman on January 22, 2023 at 4:57 am

    Hi Nate, I have been thinking about van bed, and would like to do a roll up pack away bed, something similar to strapping with a ratchet to give it tension …. have you come across anything like this?

  15. Sleepin Insomniac on January 22, 2023 at 4:58 am

    Some of these beds are unnecessarily big, most people can get away with a twin, dont have to live like a king. The purpose of van life was to live minimal. It becoming trendy has watered it down to "look at my cool toy."

  16. constantinos schinas on January 22, 2023 at 4:59 am

    dude, can you fit yourself in that first fixed bed???

  17. Lou Cipher on January 22, 2023 at 4:59 am

    pop top bed is just asking for trouble
    someone or some animal can attack you while you sleeping
    you are totally vulnerable

  18. Oliver Heidenreich on January 22, 2023 at 5:00 am

    Это просто пиздец какой-то!🙈🙈🙈

  19. Ros Tallar on January 22, 2023 at 5:00 am

    No 8 is the best I reckon,
    No 9 is pretty cool too.

  20. Twitter Cliffdog01 on January 22, 2023 at 5:01 am

    I’m surprised you didn’t get to show a Happi Jac (or other raising bed) or Murphy (folded up on a wall) system I do like the Fixed bed, Futon style (5:45) and the Pop-Top bed (8:30).

  21. Barbara Farrington on January 22, 2023 at 5:01 am

    Ridiculous build and too much work to get into bed mode.

  22. Jennifer Aviles on January 22, 2023 at 5:02 am

    The bunk beds seem suffocating for me

  23. John H on January 22, 2023 at 5:03 am

    At about time 1:52 this chord would be good to fly your kite with ! Or maybe put on a pair of "Logan Earth Skis" and the van would pull you .

  24. Shara Switala on January 22, 2023 at 5:06 am

    You have to do this every day.?

  25. Larkinchance on January 22, 2023 at 5:08 am

    Focus on van systems, cost and stealth. All the rest is good, but it is cosmetic.
    People are getting evicted and losing their homes and they are finding this way of life out of desperation.
    These people are not holiday camping. Luxury conversion is ideal but how can it be done at a minimum cost?

  26. Barbara Farrington on January 22, 2023 at 5:08 am

    I think the best ideas for a bed are the builds that have the couch in the back that offers relaxing positions down to flat for bed mode or a pull out couch. Those can be left in bed mode.

  27. Barbara Farrington on January 22, 2023 at 5:08 am

    I think the best idea has already been designed and is being used daily in our homes. It is the pull out queen sized already made bed. The only bother is that you must take off the cushions. Just bolt it to the van.

  28. Lou Cipher on January 22, 2023 at 5:09 am

    the last guy simply had a HUGE motorhome

  29. Ewan on January 22, 2023 at 5:12 am

    Rut her!!!

  30. A. Alonso on January 22, 2023 at 5:16 am

    What kind of wood is that ? Its beautiful !

  31. Pamala Parker on January 22, 2023 at 5:16 am

    What brand of mattress do most use?

  32. Dave Christian on January 22, 2023 at 5:17 am

    R u even allowed to sleep in your car on the side of the road in the UK ..haha i dont think so lol

  33. DemonHogo on January 22, 2023 at 5:21 am

    it’s always interesting to see how so many people want their van to look like rustic cabins

  34. upsidedownriders on January 22, 2023 at 5:21 am

    Thanks for the video Nate. For us the fixed bed suits the best, we just bought a van and we’ll start to convert it soon. Can’t wait! We did recently a trip in Scotland on a motorbike and there we decided to do a van conversion and started the researching process.

  35. b. de la cruz on January 22, 2023 at 5:21 am

    The hooks were the guy fixed his tables legs scare me. I am a natural magnet for things that jot out from flat surfaces and always get scratches. My ankles and legs tingled when I saw those metal claws.

  36. Toe Knee on January 22, 2023 at 5:24 am

    If the vans rocking, don’t come knocking 😂

  37. RUFIO G on January 22, 2023 at 5:24 am

    I don’t even know about van life, I’m just here cuz the power of the thumbnail compelled me

  38. Ulrik Stokkebokjær on January 22, 2023 at 5:25 am

    What is that heater controlpanel in the first van?

  39. Barbara Farrington on January 22, 2023 at 5:28 am

    Very few people can even get around the sharp edged table to sit down.

  40. Barbara Farrington on January 22, 2023 at 5:31 am

    You could gouge yourself on that table and there is not enough room for the average person to get seated.

  41. Randy Wissler on January 22, 2023 at 5:31 am

    I really liked the futon style couch/bed

  42. Try-Gear on January 22, 2023 at 5:32 am

    in Indonesia.. it is very difficult to find a place to park a camper car/van (except campsites) meaning if you want to park on the side of the road or land or parking lot there must be a parking attendant and you have to pay.. or if parking carelessly is called illegal parking and can be brought by the police .. haha ​​very funny.. but that’s just what I thought

  43. Markus Camenzind on January 22, 2023 at 5:32 am

    bunk bed just screams headache
    not to mention all that top weight

  44. Codi Serville on January 22, 2023 at 5:32 am

    ohh 8:07 I really like this one

  45. Anayeli Soria on January 22, 2023 at 5:36 am

    I’m definitely Team Fixed Bed too, but one thing that I really don’t understand is people’s obsession with queen and king size beds. Why would you need a king size bed traveling solo in a van? Even if you sleep with a partner, a king bed is ridiculously big for a van! My layout includes a twin bed or a double (57"x75" at most) That way I would have space for a decent bathroom and even a working station. Why do americans want everything BIG?? XD jk <3

  46. Edward Queen on January 22, 2023 at 5:36 am

    I’m surprised there weren’t any murphy or elevator beds. Maybe in part 2 (haven’t watched yet)

  47. Grant Harper on January 22, 2023 at 5:38 am

    Some great ideas for beds and some very clever designs…but not one single van had a shower-room😢

  48. death bystereo on January 22, 2023 at 5:39 am

    u shapes are the best. Most social setting you can have.

  49. The Mystery Machine on January 22, 2023 at 5:39 am

    why do all these vans have wood paneling all over the place? looks great, but for long term, its gonna stress your suspension and compromise your gas mileage. overbuilding has long term drawbacks.

  50. Brandon Louw on January 22, 2023 at 5:43 am

    Surprised to see a channel named Murphy showing top van bed builds not featuring a Murphy bed!
