I ran out of 4040 like 5 times even though I thought I added up everything before hand. You also spend about as much on fasteners and slidy, bendy parts as you do on aluminum extrusion. It's a great system, already have more bars in my cart.
Hi fella, a little tip from someone who lives in UK where rain and damp weather loves rotting vehicles, just squirt some old used engine oil (new oil if you prefer) in the wells of the body panels then it won't matter if there is debris in them as you won't ever have to worry about rust ever again. But if you live in a dry state then ignore this comment. Keep up the good work...
This is an awesome design. I'd love to know how it's been working out now that it's built. I am planning to do something similar with slats that slide out over the kitchen counters to make the full bed and the mattress will become backrest pillows when in 'day lounge' mode.
Since you have built this in a vehicle which will be subject to the usual bouncing and vibration, I would go back to every single fastener and put a drop of blue Loctite on the theads. I use a lot of 8020 on small machines and without a bit of thread locker, something will come loose. Guaranteed. And, take your allen wrenches with you and whatever small hand tools you assembled this with. At least on your first few outings. One other thing to look out for - sometimes when you tighten a bolt, it will feel like it is tight. In fact, unless it is the right length, it may have bottomed out in the channel before getting truly tight. It's easy to do and the difference between the correct length bolt and one that's too long it usually only 1/8". YMMV.
Dude, shorter promaster and I am taking a few ideas from you. I just finished the bed. Its a slider but I used futon hinges and a lot less 8020. Next up, magnet ceiling.
I had a thought, instead of running slats in two directions, why not connect a bunch lengthwise so they can all be collapsed back to the maximum. (I'm brainstorming about what I'm trying to do, which is the opposite. I want bedding on the ground level, and want a movable upper part for when I want to pull in bikes etc. )
Duuuuuddddde. That's what I been thinking about. Thanks for sharing. I see a comment below that it wld cost alot and I def don't have what it takes to pull that off, but the info is still appreciated.
There must be easy way. Mr. Seven need to work little more to figure it out easy way. So Mr. Seven, we are waiting to see that easy way. But its amazing idea.
Man that 80/20 is so sweet. Definitely gunna use that on my next van. Great video. Those sliding bearings are cool, is that custom or can you just buy those? Thx again
Instead of the parts folding over. Maybe Just have 2 separate pieces. That lift and sit on top of each other. That way you can have upper wall storage. 👍👍

Oh man, this is amazing. I also have a Sprinter 144” and have been struggling with the bed frame design. Do you have an actual design with dimensions that you’re willing to share?
Seven O what is the profile sizes you’re using? U keep saying 80/20 but the profiles look square like 30/30 or 40/40. Can you clarify? Or have I missed anything?
I am extremely impressed and this is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. BUT I have questions. Doesn't that create a thermal bridge? And how much did this cost? I was looking for a cheap method but doing some quick math this looks like a 500 dollar bed frame.
Good questions, it does indeed create a thermal bridge but w/plywood and my mattress I never actually feel it. If you bought the perfect amount of materials and didn’t make any mistakes you could probably do it for $500. I’d estimate more towards $700 in reality though.
@@skysappr Jeff, it's simply conducting the temperature from one piece of material into another. So if the van shell is cold outside, the attached aluminum bed frame inside will get cold too since it's directly touching, etc. I've seen some people put a tiny sheet of rubber between the van wall and the aluminum frame to help reduce the heat loss.
If you're looking for someone to be impressed, know the cost, and benefit... look no farther. I've been planning an extrusion aluminum build for over a year now. I have to wait until my home sells before I can buildout my van. I just wish I had time to learn sketch up. Getting out of my home is #1 priority.
Sketch up can be effectively used without learning all the ins & outs. The in depth, detailed stuff can come later. Do the tutorials for the basic minimum & then just jump into it. You'll be designing in no time.
@@MySonsMother I've been without a computer for a while so haven't used sketch up for some time, didn't realize it doesn't work offline now, bummer. I hope it's still as easy to pick up as it used to be. Good luck with everything & have fun designing & building your van.
It might work offline, I don't know. I installed at work and deleted it later. To see TH-cam on my laptop I have to have internet service which I get at McD's.
@@MySonsMother I was thinking, if you're really busy right now it might be better to wait as you can get seriously caught up in it & loose track of time. 😃
Looks great. Seems like it would be very strong but this video was too technical for me. When you use technical words you need to break them down for those of us not in the know. 😂🤣
I guess you have to weigh how much a 'thermal bridge' will affect your comfort vs the mold/rot resistance of aluminum, as well as it's weight to strength ratio advantages. I sometimes think that van builds obsess unnecessarily when it comes to insulation, especially for a house that has wheels and most likely doesn't have to stay in seasonally severe environments. But for a minority of people who may need a 4 season van, a thermal bridge might be a deal breaker.
@@seven_o_savage The cost of (wood?), outweighed the benefits of using aluminum ($700+)? Not sure I follow. As a woodworker, I feel compelled to ask, what type of wood (and design) did you compare that to?
Hmm but aren't you going to lose all the space in the sides of the wall? You can't have any shelving or anything jutting out of that we extra space if you need to fold the mattress over. Unless your mattress is less width then the frame. So you only save floor space and what you use there can't be higher than the bed. It seems to me a better system would be a folding frame. One that you collapse at an angle so that you can have plenty of extras on the walls. It's hard to explain this in text sorry.
Do you have the bed schematics online anywhere to look at, I really love the idea of using 80/20 for a sliding bed in my van and yours is absolutely perfect
Congrats for the stunning build (and selling it). I'm thinking about making a similar bed, but with a hinge in the middle to be able to use it as a front or back facing sofa and to be able to access the garage from the inside. What kind of solution will you have for your new Sprinter for the bed? Looking forward to the new build videos!
This would definitely be possible to design into the system! With my van, however, there are some constraints that prevent this design. The biggest one being the upper cabinets. More details coming in the follow up video!
@@seven_o_savage but can you fold your mattress over if you have upper cabinets? im right at this point too. also would be interested on how much this construction costs.
Seven O'Savage You could cut the 2 prices of mattresses at a 45deg overlap so that the section sliding in slides underneath the section in the back. C class motorhomes have that system for the above cab bunk. Because your van is narrower at the top, flipping the mattress may cause the corners to catch the sides. Did you say you had cabinets above?
Or... make a three piece bed that has two "folds" in it. The last one stays were it is, the middle one becomes the back rest (complete with shoulder seat belts on each side of the van) and the front part lowers to the bottom of the back rest to become two more seats with seatbelts. That's my design hope, and I came here because of an "extrusion van bed" search. Cheers!
This is looking great! If i had more money allocated to my van build, the extruded aluminum would have been my choice to build with. Perhaps if I do a remodel later, this is what I could do. I too have thought about a hidden shower setup, near the bed area somewhere. I am still in the planning stages myself but the build has commenced. I will be following your build. Thanks!
A lot of people will tell you if they did it again they'd build the necessities and then add on as they travel. Never know what you might need to add or even remove
Wonder how it worked out attaching 80/20 to the van frame without a thermal break? I'm assuming that in winter, the bed frame is the same temperature as the van exterior.
mad props to you. just found this! just subbed! this I need with just a 135wb. help! can I get total checklist? I need plans like this! so appreciate it!
Seven O'Savage I think you’re good on your wiring as far as wiring it to components to a box wood box I noticed other you tubers doing it the same way and haven’t heard any major malfunctions such as fires, as the electrician was trying to tell you earlier this morning.Really like the bed design I’m just skeptical mattress having to be super thick to compensate for the holes in Rail system
I ended up going with IKEA metal bed supports ($20 Each x4) As they extend And slot into place Bed mattress folds back And you can pull up the supports ether way Front/Rear Or all for moving items. With brackets I think i spent $150 And its a double size bed 400Lbs no problem ...But it was your channel that got me thinking so thanks !
I've researched a looooot and your videos came up. By far the best conversion imho. Thank for sharing. Please link materials if you have the time. Awesome!!!!
I made the same thing from wood, but used a double bed base. It's lasted 4+ years so far. I use two 6'x2' mattresses and just put one on top of the other when stored collapsed.

Why not have the back part of the bed slide up vertically to make it a couch when collapsed ?
There's a video from a couple years ago where a young girl did one like that in 80/20. That's how I first became interested in using it in my build.
Hey - great video! I don't suppose you have drawings for this in terms of the connections and measurements?
That is marvelous. How did you find the extruded metal and come up with that design?
Thanks! I heard about 80/20 from other van channels and designed it in sketchup (couple vids on sketchup on my channel)
Looks good. I wonder how how expensive this is. I don't want my bed might be most expensive part of my van build.
Men, That shower must be amazing
Wonderful design! Do you sell plans for your creations?
There must be easy way. Mr. Seven need to work little more to figure it out easy way. So Mr. Seven, we are waiting to see that easy way. But its amazing idea.
...perhaps a thermal break (strip of rubber etc.) between the 80/20 and the van metal work, especially if you are visiting colder climates?
It looks really cool, and light weight being that is 80/20. What did it cost for all of the 80/20 components to build that frame?
Thanks @John Haywood! I made a lot of costly mistakes, but if I went back and knew exactly what to order I estimate materials would cost around $700

Ever considered wood? Classic sofa bed design and those are made of wood. No thermal bridge and much lower cost. But still you made a great job.
Thank you! Yep I considered wood, but for me the cost outweighed the benefits of using aluminum.
