你的肢体动作告诉大家你一定是个很可爱的女孩
You’re adorable 😍
Fantastic!
I’m feeling good that you came to the same conclusion I did! Whoohoo. Van design can be stressful lol
The ultimate van bed is obviously a pop-top so long as your not camping along a freeway or in extreme weather conditions mainly really hot weather.
See ModVans examples.
For me, it’s either the couch that slides forward into a bed or the drop-down ceiling bed. No way I’m dismantling & assembling stuff daily.
Thanks for putting this compilation of bed ideas together.
Cheers..
Hi Lisa, cool video. You have missed people with the bed over the cab of a Luton van.
Very good selection of beds for Motorhome. Thank you, I appreciate it very much.
All beds are horizontal. 🙂 No such thing as a vertical bed. That would be standing up. I think you mean, parallel vs perpendicular. Cheers!
Hi, great content! But next time, could you avoid using all the cut offs and dings, it makes it jerky without continuity. I kept fast forwarding to get thru it to hit highlights because it was too difficult to watch.
your information might have been good, but it was taking you so long to get to any information, I just had to leave. Sorry,
damn i am NOT making my bed every night
Thank you lisa for such an AWESOME summary of so many possible bed options!
I have also been watching VAN videos for the past two years for inspiration :D. I want to convert a small van (5.4m in length), and came up with an idea of how I want to do the bed to maximise space. And I always felt it was weird that I had not seen anyone actually build the bed that way in any of the hundreds videos I’ve watched :D. And suddenly here it is! The nr 3 on your list. So nice to see it actually being built and so nice you had linked to the original video so that I could even get even more inspiration on how to actually build it. Kudos!
for me later: 13:51
Can someone say why NO ONE puts the kitchen in the back and bed by the entrance. for me it doesn’t make sense to sleep over the Electrical system, I much rather have all the Fridge+electrical at the back and have a bench/bed/office at the front
I building a fixed horizontal bed for the max storage underneath.
Two Mtb’s
Two oversized, off-road spare tires for the van.
A hitch mounted winch for front or rear of van that stores inside with all associated recovery gear.
Plus two large drawers in the center that open into the living space.
Thank you for the video. Some fantastic designs… I agree with lots of points here. Personally it feels like the more you RV, a descent kitchen and a toilet/shower could be acceptable by the most people as long as it is functional and feels well done. On the other hand the three elements: 1-Bed, 2-Sitting/living/dining space 3-Storage space varies by needs, by a lot. Factors such as being a full-timer(s) vs. occasional RVer, or being a single, couple, with kids, pets… being active with lots of gear, people who can get homesick quick(nothing wrong with it!) and prefers "homey" feeling. Or the ones who demand; "I need a proper, office like space, while drinking my coffee and sitting down with my book/laptop pretty much every morning!" types, etc… To people who are going into RVing, I suggest them to monitor their moods during morning and right before the bed hours. These are the moments when we are the most tired or energized in general. Our demands peak and we’re not as flexible with ourselves during those times. Another point is Rving is being flexible by itself. You just have to. Basically, it’s a moving-living space that is limited by the road lane width… Anyways, enjoy the view out there!
The best van bed compilation I have seen. Great!
you were great, our family slept 7 in a toyota hiace – slightly extended, overlapping sleeping designs. 6 Months around europe. best time in my life
Some great ideas, you’ve clearly put a lot of work into that! Thank you!
Very interesting good video. I like the bed that goes up and down because I like the bed always made up and ready however I also like the garage space for bikes and other stuff. So do we have to get a bigger van or a truck or just accept a little discomfort in the name of freedom ?……..and money of course !
the ping noise between every clip is actually giving me a headache
🤭Super Cute. ❤ and the beds, I, umm, yea 🥰🫣
No sound here
No body talks about or shows the person sleeping on the back door side needing to use the bathroom and crawling over their partner! I’m def a ready made person, and drop down in a seating area! And a end of van bath rm! Shaiden vans…
I was thinking of using a sofa bed. Would that work?
I think im going to go for a more japanese style layout, meaning, doing alot of things on the floor so that I can utilize as much of the floor space as possible for whatever might arise. Maybe a Japanese style dinner table with cushions around it for the chairs. Then the table can do something foldy and modular somewhere when not in need or use. I also need a desk area to make mysic and edit video. And room to stretch and what not too. Thinking I’ll have alot of very narrow furniture that won’t impede the main space much st all for things like the kitchenette and storage. Hidden luggage loo with a hidden fridge near the front maybe? And if I ever actually need the van to transport anything large ish, I can also use it for that. Keep it as useful in as many different ways as possible. Multi functionally modular and whatnot lol.
Enjoyed the consolidation of bed options!
If the mattress is a also the seat cushions, I can imagine just sitting on the bed with a table that is over it a few inches. That saves the hassle of taking it apart and stowing the linens. Also, am loving the idea of a bed that drops down from the ceiling! Could have a platform below it to hang out on when bed is raised. Great video!
Greet video
good collection – your accent is hardly perceptible … a little real German Volkswagen never hurt anyone…. FolksVahgen … 😉
This was fantastic for ideas – thank you! Could I also ask you to leave each picture up for a few seconds as it flew by so fast I had to keep rewinding to see what they’ve done, and also to link each video to the original creator so we can see how they did it please? Thanks so much, great job! 😃
Hi Lisa, Great video, can you send me the link to the bench bed at 11:28 in your video, The #17 Vertical Flip Up Bench Back to Bed ? Thanks
I lik alavatet bad
Appreciate the video – but my ears are ringing now from all the loud bells!
Amazing video, really enjoyed it. That ding though at each option killed my ears. Would appreciate more consistent audio mixing, but other than that, very impressed, thanks 🙂
Thanks fo this compilation works a lot!
I think this is the best layout and design I’ve seen for van’s. https://youtu.be/fi3BpKFJeJY This is ground breaking, never seen such a design before. It’s a murrphy bed where your couch is "inside" the raised bed. Very clever use of space. and also the runner up, lifting bed; https://youtu.be/cTX1goWv9eo
Love the video, but the dings drove me nutz!
Hi Hun… you look great! The pyramid is Maslo‘s hierarchy of needs!
Hi there! Amazing collection, thanks for creating it! I cant find the Vertical Hybrid Extension video in your description, could you please share it?! (where the whole back of the couch becomes the bed’s lower foot part!) Thanks 😊
Haha, my designs are still undiscovered and waiting for me to build (likely many years from now)!
Excellent topic and video, just what I was looking for
I would love to see a hammock incorporated into the design. I slept exclusively in a hammock for almost a year, loved it.

i had a sprinter with 2 6 foot double beds , one was a murphy king size and one was a bench where the front was on hinges and flipped up with legs ( supported me and my wife and kids ( 25/26 yo) when sat on just the flap up part that,s prob just over 600 lb , and all wood no metal , the bench stored the batteries inverter bedding and toilet, i have yet to see some one make one like it in 10 years of watching you tube videos on van builds.Just about to buy another van if i make the same bed i will make a video of it for you 🙂
Great job! I really enjoyed your editing style and it was a great watch! New sub here ✌️👍👊☀️🤍
