Nice and creative sofa design. I like it because it's like an adjustable lounge sofa.
This...this is something magical! You have solved my tiny camper dinette/couch/lounger/EPIC!
Nice job! Just an idea to share, if you take a bar of regular gold dial soap, and rub on the wood where it rubs, will slide out way smoother, quieter, feel better. Old antique furniture dealer hack. ;-)
Waynes Grid oooh we'll look into that, thank you!!
Bees wax works even better and lasts much longer
STOP IT OMG! love that couch.
No videos for a while, but it all came together! The break seems to have been worth it! Way to go
Yeah we were bummed about not being able to upload, but it has been very worth it! Thanks!
Omg looove this couch so much!
Ingenious!!!
I have learned so many things that I am mentally banking to include when I get my own Skoolie. I think that having a design that can flex with your needs is smart and versatile. Wow. And the narrower slats (with more of them) seems like it will be much more comfortable while still allowing ventilation than some of the other designs I've seen.
Wow, well thank you for that very nice compliment! And yeah we love how flexible it is, it's our favorite thing in the bus! And yes you're very correct, the many slats is very comfortable/unnoticeable with the cushions. Let us know when you get to building it and if we can help in anyway.

The Voyager Project Muchas gracias for your offer! It will be a bit...I'm in the slaving, saving and salivating phase...probably 1-2 years from having enough banked to start the ball rolling.
Yeah this has been 3 years in the making for us, we've owned the bus for a year, and been building for about 9 months! So a long time coming but so good to be so close to finishing now!
It’s coming along real nice now fellas.
One Love,
Dirty South TV
We're so close we can taste it! Much thanks from Base Camp in Custer, SD!
You could use some drawer slide tape in addition to the reliefs you sanded in. Works great at reducing friction .
Great design!
That's a great idea, we didn't even think about that, thank you! And thanks for watching 😁
Thank you fir the post! This is definitely going to be my bed in my skoolie!!! 🙌🏽
Am I the only one that noticed that your videos got out of order? Being that you painted the bus white in the last video and now it's yellow again in this video! LOL Y'all have built an Awesome bus guys...
That couch design is very unique! Thanks for the good idea!
Wow~ genuis!
And beautiful!
Very neat. Best bit of your build so far.
Impressive. Definitely inspiration for my build! Thank you.
Great work guys, couch is superb...
Excelente idea no la había visto
Genius! I'm going to have to borrow your couch / bed build for my skoolie. This is really nice. Thank you for sharing!
Well thank you for the compliment and for following along on the build and our journey! Let us know if you use the design, we'd love to check it out when you're done 😁
Wow guys. That couch looks great. Very modern, sleek and clean. Well done. I'm uploading the couch build for our bus now.
i'm exited, haha
Thank you very much! We're only days away from being done and it is super exciting! Can't wait to check out your couch!
haha much love, you guys are the best :)
Life of Bjorn exited? Ugh. Next!™
Ian Robinson did you download plans on how to build sofa and how can I get them
Awesome work! That gave me some inspiration to my bus!
Thank you! And glad to help!
i love lamp
Great couch! Can you share just the length & depth? Thanks
awesome to see you back at it
Thanks man! It's been too long! Glad to be back :D! We hope all has been well with you too! We're so crazy excitied to see your build, it'll easily be one of the most unique out there
The Voyager Project what is it with y'all and the word exvited? Are you that excitied? Because I know it shows how excited you are, but you're boy is more like exited. As in " he seems he exited the blog sooner, because its like he's in LA LA Land all the time", lol.
Nice job!
Looks great guys. I've been following from the beginning and I know y'all have worked hard on it . its paid off by the looks of it. Good luck in your ventures. Makes me want to consider a build. Maybe. Next!™
Thank you!!
Awesome design! We are in the process of making our couch. It is similar to yours. We were wondering if you have any sort of leg or support for when it is pulled all the way out? Or have you found that you don't need any extra support?
Thats a neat idea o btw the buckeye sign hellz yea O-H
I-O!! Haha and thank you!!
Love the couch, it’s definitely much more nice having drawer slides instead on manual pull out slates. Quality 👌🏻
thank you! We spent a lot of time in general on the design and build of the coach!
The Voyager Project well it’s definitely paying off! Hopefully the inside of mine turns out as good. I’ve been trying to finish up outside of the bus tasks and am dying to start the inside 👌🏻
The outside stuff takes sooooo long, haha we definitely understand that. And if you stick to it I'm sure you're can look even better than ours! Goodluck with the inside and let us know if we can help 😁
The Voyager Project whew good to know everyone struggles with the outside 😂thanks for the reply I definitely will!
The Voyager Project hey, I was wondering where you guys bought your clear flasher lens and how much were they? I need to do the same for mine and I’m finding them for about $10 and to replace all 8 for that price is a bit steep for my budget haha
Really nice design. Great work guys
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching 😄
Very nice! Thank you
Don't mention it haha, but thank you and thanks for watching!
Your couch is brilliant! Do you have specs for it (materials list, measurements, directions . . . especially)? I am doing a skoolie this year and this definitely will work best for my needs. Really excellent design guys. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Id love the materials list and maybe something in detail about the slide portion of the build? How did you make each "frame"for the slides?
Tried accessing your link for plans and it no longer works. Do you have an updated link?
Great job! This design is just what I’m looking for. Where did you buy the drawer rails? I look forward to your future videos, especially how you did your window shades.
+Ana Goldstein the drawer slides are the "Knape and Vogt 6500" model. I can't remember off the top of my head but I think they are rated for about 125 pounds per pair
Does anybody know where I can get the directions to build the bed daybed
Wow, that bed is slick.
Are you going to use removable legs to hold that extra weight towards the pull out end? REALLY nice
Thank you so very much 😄! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you! We are considering putting legs on it, but we still haven't found the right ones so we're not sure if we will. As of right now it does hold the weight of someone laying across the bed at full extension, but it probably wouldn't if you just sat on one of the 3. Thanks for asking!
The Voyager Project maybe that third leg that's dying to rip your jeans will do the trick!!! Lol. Next!™
Such a cool design! But yeah legs to support the extended segments are key if you want to keep it from ripping apart. Of course *you* are careful when using it, but one idiot friend/stranger plopping down on the edge when pulled out will rip it apart :(
looking to get the supply list of cuts for this... I subscribed to the .com site already... great couch thanks!
Jenny dougan were you able to get the plans to Build the daybed sofa
Nice work. What were the things you’d change?
Thank you! And we would make slightly thicker slats for sitting on so they don't flex as much, and go with 200lb drawer slides instead of 125lb. But that's about it!
Is your couch 24 inches deep?
Looks good but did you have the fence on the left side of the blade of the tablesaw?
Yeah ours goes both ways, and thank you!
Do you have the design for the pullout couch? I’d love to replicate it :D
That looks amazing guys. We are currently in the stage of figuring out our furniture options. I was wondering how this was going to come out after seeing your design on Instagram. So is this where you guys sleep?
Thats where Ryan sleeps! I (Sam) sleeps in the back bed that will be in the next video! We each have our own bed which is nice 😁
And thank you! We're super happy with it. Let us know if you need any help/have any questions for your build! I can't wait to see it!!
Christina and I do really love the bed design. You even pick out the same exact color we want for our counter tops lol can't wait to see the next video.
I see we got similar tastes then 👌😎, that's awesome though! And thanks for liking it so much 😄. The next video will be showcasing the back fold out bed which we also can't wait to show off!
what is that couch/bed called, do they have a name for that
Awesome bus, how long is this bus exactly, bump to bumper?
Roughly 30' or so bumper to bumper. 22' from back of the front steps to the back of the bus (living space).
That guy's hands are HUGE!!! lol
I think it's because we used such a wide angle lens it warped the shot hahaha but it does look crazy big 😂😂😂
It's alright - you know what they say about a guy with huge hands lol
the short one looks like the bus builder caleb
can join for a ridealong?
Drop down legs?
Sliding face plate would give more support
BEESWAX
What's that song starting around 4:12?
Honestly I have no idea off the top of my head, we pay a subscription for the music so it's from a very large library
The guys hand in the opening seen looks huge lol bigger then his head
Looks nice guys! Gota ask .... how tall are you both ?
5'6" and 6'5"! The tall one is Ryan and the couch is actually his bed!
And Thank you!
Lol ... Ryan is a little above average ..... and your a tad below .. I believe 5'8" is average ... hopefully your having a blast on you adventures. Enjoy the vid keep them coming
Hahaha yeah we cover the full spectrum 😂, and we really are enjoying it! Thank you, we're glad you like the video, Sam (the short one) spends a lot of time on them!
The Voyager Project though Sam is really the " tall" one. Lol. Next!™
What happened to y'all's third member?
He decided that he wanted to go back to college and finish his last semester in the fall instead of the spring and wasn't able to make the trip. It's really unfortunate, but we hope it's the right decision for him
Tell your buddy avoiding the camera makes for a bad video. Tell him to find his voice and get comfortable!!!!!
Super gay, loved it :)
HATE THE SCREECHY MUSIC damn
Might just be your speakers, you seem to be the only one
