Dude looking good. Finished mine a couple of weeks ago. Great work pal. Followed you from the start and gave me some great inspiration especially the Truma 😂 cheers Richie. 👍😎
Great stuff! What screws (lenth) did you use to affix the lats onto the IKEA frames? My first go at that and they just pop out...Im also laying the bed lengthways as I cant fit sideways...so the lats are on a frame which will go onto the IKEA lats..
It was so long ago, I really can’t remember. But if you take the thickness of the lat and the bed frame and allow a little extra that should be fine. Also pilot drill a hole smaller than the screw so that the screws will bite and then they will hold the lats in place. Hope that helps!
Thanks! The beams on either side came with the van. It was an ex DHL van and the beams were on the floor of the van. Yes, it’s very similar to T Rail. If you watch the first bed frame install video you’ll see what I used.
Hey, nice build! What are the dimensions of the bed with the extrusion? How tall are you, and how tall would you say you could be maximum and still fit in the bed without laying diagonally? :)
I’m around 6ft in height. With the recess on both sides, I fit, but it’s tight. without the recess on both sides I’d have to sleep at an angle if I was to sleep side to side. Hope that helps!
Hi I thought the idea of the ikea bed frame was genius, it saves so much weight. What was the frame you used I couldn’t find it on the ikea website. Great Vlog 😊
Now I am waiting for all Anglo-Saxons to be able to - for once - pronounce the name IKEA in the correct way. As you all know it's a Swedish name and the correct pronunciation is "ee-keh-ah" (not the grotesque "eye-kee-a") So come on and give it a try!

You have certainly cracked on with it👍
Love the accent & van built, but have you hit your head on the upper cabinets ?
Good on you. Looks great. I can however see some some sore heads with the limited clearance
Thanks!

Nice work, Clever idea using cloths line!. Just wondering what you used for the side rails to support the beams looks like T rail ?

Thanks

Great video. A year on... How's the bed been? Would you recommend it? What IKEA bed was it, can you remember?
Bed is perfect. All detail are in the video 👍
Nice tight fit on the mattress, but you seem to have prevented your exit from the rear of the van" in the event of an emergency??
Good point! I had thought of that. I’ll have to jump out the the roof window in the event of an emergency

The beam is called Skorva. The side rails can be Metod (a cabinet rail).
How's the matress holding out. Great build.
Perfect
Surprisingly, the best thing for cutting foam is an electric carving knife!
where did you get your mattress from please
If I remember correctly, it was Amazon 👍
Where can i get the memory foam
I got it from Amazon
Nice build but I can't help thinking you are going to constantly bang your head on those cupboards when waking up
Thanks! Your right. It’s a trade off between more head room our more garage space. I went with more garage space.
@@RichieRos How about shorter cupboards?
@@Viajero69 That’s also a option 😉
