I’ve been searching for a bed lift that would work for me and have watched many videos. I’ve been wanting to do the hand crank to keep it simple but couldn’t figure out the best place to mount it. On the side of the bed. Great idea. I will have a ramp door so going to do it on the back side but I think that will work! Thanks.
Why people waste their time putting a bottle opener on something like this is beyond me. Any self respecting drinker knows you can open a beer with a key, screwdriver, coin, nail clipper, fork, spoon, knife, and most anything with enough rigidity. Necessity is the mother of invention! Don't worry folks, I've been sober a long time now! 🙏💪😉 Really like your conversion. All the best to you! Mark
Thanks very much for the compliment. Definitely not a carpenter but went to school originally for industrial design so that help a bit and TH-cam for sure.
Space, space, space! Tons of seating and plenty of sleeping options too! Very well thought out and so practical. A little pricey but of course you started with a very nice cargo trailer. This thing could last you a lifetime easily. Your build looks nice and clean too. The cushions are nicely sewn and fit well, that’s something that many don’t quite pull off. I have that same ladder, same solar lights too. The dart board is a nice addition that invites other campers to socialize I’m sure. Just really a great job.
Hi! Great idea! Who of us does not want to enjoy a long and happy life? Just think how wonderful it would be if we could live forever in health and happiness! We could spend more time with loved ones, travel the world, develop new skills, grow in wisdom, and learn thoroughly about whatever interests us, to our heart’s content. Is such a desire unnatural? Is that desire impossible to realize? What do you think about it?
You have a really nice trailer conversion! Thank you for the taking the time to share it with everyone. I personally really appreciate it. I love elevator beds and this is the nicest I have seen. I am about to start a build and think I will go this way as well. The only thing I will do different is to use an 12V electric awning motor. I would be interested in knowing more about how you attached the roof rack for the solar panels. Maybe a short video on that? I have a plan for what I will do, but its nice to see how other people do things. Thanks!
Thanks for the comments. I just stayed away from the electric motor so that if I was running low on power when camping that I had alternate ways of getting my bed up and down. I plan on using the drill but also a small crank (manual) for choices. You are the second person to request this so I will plan on doing this shortly. Not sure if you saw both my other videos on the bed. V1 and V2.
I ❤️this!!! Great conversion! Great style! The crank bed is awesome! What a good idea to not have to rely on any type of electricity because if it runs on a motor, if the motor goes, no bed!
I was about to pull trigger and buy 2 electric actuator to build my own bedlift until I saw your build, Both of your bedlifts are the simplest setup from the hundreds of bedlifts videos online I have watched. Whats not to like, both your your bedlift designs require little material, investing less than $100, and simple hand tools most DIY'ers have on hand. Thanks for sharing
I have high hopes of converting a cargo trailer into a mini camper / office lol. This build is VERY well thought out. I love the nose door placement and the privacy screen is also an excellent idea. Thank you for this!
You thought of a great floor plan! Saved this so I can build similarly. The door in the V, and the open aisle, are definitely things that I want. Thanks!
Hey there, I have two videos about the bed. The Pully system has been replaced now. I found it was a good start but just not what I really wanted. Here is the video of that one th-cam.com/video/bktiLsHAknc/w-d-xo.html and here is the location of my new bed th-cam.com/video/BzIKehEFsVk/w-d-xo.html. Much simpler and can be raised with a drill or manually. The key for me on both of these was to not need to have a motor to move the bed thus not requiring more battery.
Thanks, Bil for the comment. I did actually keep track of everything I spent. As some parts were re-used I didn't factor in those things but the bulk was new. These are Canadian Dollars. Trailer $11,094.34

I haven't weighed it yet but I am sure it is under 4000lbs and I made sure I had breaks on it too which makes a huge difference.
Awesome looking hunting trailer,,, I like how you have given safety a front row seat in ur build, Fire extinguisher, CO2 alarm,, escape window,, sturdy framework,, this is exactly what I'm looking for as a hunting trailer,, great work
Very nice build! I am trying to decide between a 14ft and 16ft trailer. I’m leaning towards a 16 ft trailer with a 2ft storage area / utility room in the back. I was wondering if you have had an issue with the door leaking while driving down the highway while it’s wet outside. Thanks for making the video. wondering if you have any issues with the door leaking when driving down the highway while it’s raining outside.
Hi there . I haven't had any problems with it leaking. Just make sure you have a good trailer builder. I picked the 14 ft because it is easier to find camping spots.
Appreciate your comment. I am having the same dilemma. I think I have decided on 16' because I am taking two teenage cats with me. I'm thinking of making the V front area into a play area for them, and a place I can put them while going in and out of the trailer so they don't get loose out of the trailer.
i have a comment here it is all those people who lose houses to floods fires hurricanes they all need something like this quick and easy and comfortable until every things is repaired and that can be months or not at all just like homeless people well thats all i can think of to comment on
Glad the bed is far enough away from the refrigerator and the inverter., because they put out magnetic fields that are harmful to the body. Nice bed lift. The rear door idea makes a great second exit Nice place for the front door, too.
I really love the crank up bed. I'm not understanding how the crank works. One crank pulling up all four corners equally. Can you share some detail as to how you did that bed mechanism? Thanks..love it
Thanks. Funny alot of people seem to like the crank bed. I have actually come up with another simpler version. Here is a more detailed video on the bed. th-cam.com/video/bktiLsHAknc/w-d-xo.html As well my new version. th-cam.com/video/BzIKehEFsVk/w-d-xo.html

This is agreat set-up well done 👏 ✔ love the bed ideal 👌 caravans are getting so expensive that this looks like a winner to me.cheers from Perth Australia.
Thanks for the comments. Agree vehicles are crazy expensive these days. The biggest problem now is the price of gas to tow. I tried to keep the weight down so that helped a bit.
I just found this video. Super clean build!! Lots of innovative ideas. I love the PVC LED lights. What do you do for showers during your trips? I’m considering a build like this and am weighing the costs and fitment of creature comforts. Would like to travel out west for a couple weeks at a time and I’m sure we would spend most of our time outside of the trailer, but I need to consider livability. Love your front door placement but would be concerned about leaks when towing through a rainstorm. Any issues?
Thanks, Joe. We haven't had any problems towing in crazy rainstorms yet. I think having the door down the side probably would have the same issues if any because the rain would be going down the side hitting the seams too. With regards to showers, we typically are at campgrounds so far. I didn't want to take up the space for something we wouldn't use that often. I was thinking about having something out the back like many van lifers do by using the barn doors but time will tell on that one. For me it was being able to go inside if it was raining for extended time.
I'm looking to do the same idea. How much did the trailer cost roughly with the door, window and installation? I wanna get an idea of what kind of price I'd be looking at as well.
Here are two videos of my bed. v1 is the one you see in the walkthrough and v2 is what I have just finished up that is simpler and cleaner. th-cam.com/video/bktiLsHAknc/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/BzIKehEFsVk/w-d-xo.html
Very nice build ! Back doors are great. The only option I’ve seen before that I like is having a ramp style door open up for an instant canopy, but it would require the space
Hey Tony thanks. Yes, it took me a long time to finally decide on the doors. Lots of positives for the other but like you said you need to have the space when camping. I think a smaller trailer it is a great idea.
Our height is 7 feet in the trailer. With it up there is about 5'10". There is more room right under the bed. Because you are going to sit mainly under you really don't have any issues. For us it is the best. We put it up all the time when we aren't sleeping.
Hi there, we have used it about 20 times so far and I have to say there are only a couple minor things that I would change in the sense of build. The layout we love as everything is in the place we wanted it and is very practical. We had many years of camping in a popup trailer so coming up with the basics was easy. One thing i would consider if i was to build the benches again would be to make the space between the wall and the hings wider so that the back pillows wouldn't affect opening them. I am just finished v2 of the bed lift system a video will come out on that one. Build quality could be better but I am hard on myself. Thanks for asking.

Unique. But unfortunately they just stopped making then last year. If you are looking for something affordable BougeRV brand produces good fridges. I was very lucky getting this one. Right time.
We have had some crazy rain and haven't had a leak yet. The only time we had a little rain come down the door was when I had it leaning to low when parked and it was torrential. Driving never.

What is the frig model number? Great job!
Thanks for the comment
good job have fun
Very nice job!!!
Useful video. What gauge did you use for the exterior of your trailer?
Good day, Not sure as i was not the one who built the shell itself
How did you attach your screen to the walls of your trailer?
Hi there Carl. I used what came with it. Velcro and I used a few screws to make sure it had a little more support.
Where did u buy the portable refrigerator at? Thank you
I bought this here canadianoffgriddepot.com/collections/solar-appliances. I also bout one of these for a van I converted for my sister in law. BougeRV 12V Portable Refrigerator 30 Quart Car Compressor Freezer Fridge,12/24V DC 110~240 Volt AC,-7℉~50℉ for Truck Van RV Jeep Camper SUV Boat,Travel Camping Road Trips Tailgating www.amazon.ca/dp/B08D9M14JG/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_ZJRMJR3WBXY60DG6CH1G?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 that works great too.
What brand retracting ladder did you get ad has it been a good buy?
I have a Huhu from Amazon. It has worked great for me.
Can you do an in depth video on how the bed was built ????
I have two bed builds on my channel of you want to see that. Enjoy
What was the name of the 12 volt fridge/ freezer?
Unique. But unfortunately they just stopped making then last year. If you are looking for something affordable BougeRV brand produces good fridges. I was very lucky getting this one. Right time.
Have you taken trailer out in heavy rain yet? Does door leak?
We have had some crazy rain and haven't had a leak yet. The only time we had a little rain come down the door was when I had it leaning to low when parked and it was torrential. Driving never.
Cool set up.
