- This is a walk through video of how i built my drop down bed system in my cargo to camper conversion i hope it's not too confusing and is helpful with your own builds.
When looking for your steel check steel companies remnant sections. They typically sell by the pound. Much cheaper than big box hardware stores.

You are an amazingly generous guy for giving all those specific measurements.....I'm amazed with all the work you did and allowing us to copy your design....wow.
I'm happy to share Ron!
Brian Rogers whats your instagram?
Brian Rogers do you know how much vertical travel this gives you??
@@Brianrogers86 What's the trailer make and model? Thanks
So did you copy his design and build this?
It will take this kid until he's about 60 to realize just how much smarter and detail oriented he is than the other 99% of us.... Great work.
The best bed system I have seen by far! no winding, no wires or pulling. He thought of this on his own, he in extremely intelligent.
Brian this is the most amazing travel trailer I have seen, including manufactured name brands. It truly is a spectacular work of art. You would definitely get another 5K views if you posted a step by step tutorial on how to build a duplicate. Please consider it. Good show.
I’ve been trying to find someone who uses gas struts for a bed lift and you sir, are the only person I’ve found. Currently building my van, and definately using your idea.
This guy used a very similar design but only gave credit to "a TH-camr."

Dude, this is the best bed set up for a cargo trailer conversion I’ve seen. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you 🙏 for being so detailed in your video so people can duplicate this idea
Amazing design. You could package and sell these in a kit.
I'm going to use your idea if you don't mind. It's the most logical set up iv seen yet. Perfect!!!
Jennifer Henderson I'm glad it will work for you! Good luck let me know if you have questions.
Jennifer, you're not alone. I'll be doing the same. Elegant and simple. Well done, Sir.
Brian Rogers what part of the country do you live?
@@lisakarabatsos8470 I live near salt lake city
Me too. Only I need it bit lower to sleep on but this is a great idea and best I have seen!
Mr.Rogers you are a genius, keep making stuff don`t stop...
rambo lambo thank you!
The best bed build I've ever seen ! Amazing design and build , fantastic job !!!
By Far the best DIY option thats budget friendly.
Brilliant,love the simplicity of the design, the clean lines, how much it intrudes into the van when the bed is up. and Brian Rogers is Stellar. Well Done all the praise in the comments is testament to you
Not just brilliantly functional but very clean lines and elegant. A thing of beauty! Thanks for posting 🙏💖
Hands down the best conversion I've seen on TH-cam. Very clean with great attention to detail. Thanks for sharing.
Brian, it's really generous of you to take the time to give us all the details! Especially the exact measurements!
Excellent works
This is the best design I’ve seen in the so many videos on elevated bed. Plus, the idea that sitting area just below when bed is down is excellent space saving.
Thank you for explaining this so well. I’ve done quite a bit of trial and error in my trailer, but it is time for me to go with a proven success-and your setup seems like something I will actually be able to do.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. No need for complicated solutions with motors. Great work and thanks for sharing.
Finally someone made a video of how to do this with all the specs. I looked all over for this info. Great Job!
Gilbert Arzner You're sure welcome . I know i wish could have found the info on it as well . I hope I can prevent a lot of headaches lol
Very clever. And I’m impressed with how much you’ve been able to keep the weight down. Well done!
Congratulations. That is a really well thought out and thought through set up that you've done there, and you've done a really great job of explaining everything about it, without being verbose and long winded like how many people seem to do it. A perfect video, not long winded but clear and comprehensive.
David Tangye well thank you! I'm actually glad you said that. I get so nervous being filmed and feel like I start talking to fast haha. I really appreciate your input. Definetly gives me a confidence boost lol
Thank you so much for sharing this, and for being clear and specific about the build. This is truly innovative, and opens up a lot of flexibility for small-quarters living. I owe you one!
My goodness! You have super skills and an eye for perfection. What a craftsman you are! Thank you for sharing.
Amazing! Not reliant on power and no pulleys required, taking up space. Great for putting a seating arrangement underneath that can stay out - for those that don’t has a heaps of gear to store!
This is AWESOME and exactly what I was looking for!!!! Been casually searching for YEARS…glad this finally showed on my reels.
One of the best set ups and explanations I've seen in these diy vids. Thanks
Great video and super helpful for those of us looking to do the same thing. Love how elegant and simple the design is.
Oh wow best bed system I've seen yet!! I want this set up in my future van build!
Definitely sell plans or sell kits. Brilliant
I would TOTALLY buy plans if they were customized to the size of my trailer.
@@girlnextdoorgrooming Same here
I'll buy one from you!
The support brackets are bolted to the siding or did you drill through to the outside
If he does have plans I am interested in buying those plans but have a 8 1/2 by 18 trailer
I’ve watched so many bed lift designs on TH-cam and you’re the first person to use these hydraulic struts. This is exactly what I was going to build and ridiculously thought I was going to be the first. So much less expensive than the power lift and easier to maintenance. You have saved me a lot of trial and error time.
Building out a cargo trailer for my girlfriend and I to live in full time. Will definitely be asking you some questions. Best bed raise design I’ve seen on here. Perfect.
Well-thought and well-executed. Brilliant design and great explanation. Thank you for sharing it.
This is pure genius. I can’t wait to do this with my conversion!
Brian This is hands down a work of art. Your one smart Dude. Thanks for sharing!
You Sir, are both intelligent, inventive and generous in equal measure!
Your system and I mean “Your” system should be within the skill set of most if not all Van dwellers, with all necessary materials being easily procured at a local level.
Your basic system works great but there are height / power / configuration options which could easily be added in to the design making it even better!
You could do worse than develop / patent this as a product and either make and sell your own or license it out to other mainstream manufacturers.
I can see you getting a lot of interest and orders from the many trade fairs in the US.
All the best, Will.
I have to agree with Cassie you nailed it. Thank you for doing all the research for all of us.
Happy New Year!!
FINALLY SOMEONE FIGURED IT OUT! I have watched about 100 VIDS on different bed options and I wondered why no one has came up with this. I will tell you why this is the best overall option:
1. It's up on the sealing you have full length of van
2. You can modify your space underneath as you like
3. Sofa? Cupboards? Motorcycle? Inflatable motorboat!, removable cabinets - mix and match as you like
4. Cheap, cheap and cheap - fast fast and fats unlike electric powered bullshit. Which is expensive and slow.
5. Doesn't not consume any power
Seriously best option out of all. I'm planing space for my Aprilia RSV1000 and sofa combo/ sofa + kitchen extension cabinet- storage place(removable with bolt in option for safety)
This is the best solution IMHO. I was going to do this somehow. But you nailed it.
If it was that simple why hadn't you figured it out after watching 100s of videos?
This must be the best bed idea I've seen for a camper. You a fargin genius.
I've been looking for a good bed bunk system and this is absolutely brilliant. Thanks for sharing!
Great job. I'm usually critical of most builds but you are above average in design and build. Great problem solving and execution.
This is the best compact bed design I've seen. The best.
I still marvel at your work. Very well done. I keep going over this. simply amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome build, and thank you for explaining everything into detail, including measurements!
Thanks for sharing this. This is exactly what I plan to do on mine. Like you, I couldn't find much out there. So, I really appreciate you doing this video. I want to try to run two singles side by side, the opposite direction, but one platform. There will be a channel in the middle to get in and out of the beds. Instead of brackets to hold the bed in place I plan on building tall cabinets so that once it is dropped the whole unit sits on top of them. It will give enough under clearance to put a 4 wheeler too in case it can't be off-loaded if we are boondocking in a parking lot somewhere. I'm sure my concept, like yours, will come with a bit of trial and error too. Anyway, thanks again Brian ----- super appreciated!
I have been looking for ways to raise beds all that's out there are very expensive electric lifts. I'm 64 female and I still think I can convert my van to your specs.Its so generous of you to share.
(AFTER I convert every measurement in into metric as I live in Australia. Thanks so much Brian ....You are a practical genius.cheers mate.xx
I have seen a lot none as creative and well executed ... nice build..
thanks for sharing... 4 years ago,,,
took me a while to find this one,,,
but it was well worth the wait...
This is the best way ive seen this done. Im definitely copying this when I do my build. Thanks!
Ingenious. And it makes it all so spacious when the bed is in its “up” position.
Lindy Lund Thank you! I agree makes it still feel open
Also has the added bonus of not having to deal with typical bed/sitting area conversions where you have to deal with 4+ cushions and having to make&strip the bed every day. Ugh, I'd never do that.. it would always be a bed unless I had guests. You can ALSO add a table top that you don't have to move when lowering the bed. Just make sure the table is slightly lower then the lowest bed bracket. (I saw that in another video that used a garage pulley system)
the best system that I´ve seen. congratulations!
I must say (again) WOW! This is great! I believe I heard you say in a previous video that you spent a lot of time searching for a bed suspension system, it's clear that this brilliant conclusion is a result of much time, money, thought and problem solving. I've been searching for quite some time myself for the right solution for my 27' travel trailer. I've looked at Murphy Beds, Hydraulic systems, etc. and I'm currently focused on how to make your solution work (without the benefit of rear cargo doors). So many points to make here, not the least of which relates to the fact that this solution doesn't rely on power. If the shocks wear over time, they can be replaced.
I'm a DIY female who will always choose power tools over diamonds and pearls, and I believe I'll get it done with many thanks to you for sharing your knowledge, skills and innovative approach!
You might consider building a kit and/or selling plans, I believe you'd be wildly successful with just that as a start!
I'm still rooting for you, Brian! Thanks again so much!
Thanks Cassie! I hope the video makes enough sense lol. And yes this bed system definetly took some brain power for sure lol but i thrive on a good challenge!! I too looked forever for a solution that didn't involve power and that one person could do alone . Plus it all cost less than a happijac system! And i gotta say I love when someone is all about doin their own projects even more so when a women is down to get their hands dirty lol. I applaud you!!!. As for selling plans or manufacturing the parts I think that's a great idea! I think I might start local and sell on the classifieds and see what kind of attention it receives. Thanks again for watching !
It all makes sense to me and it's brilliant. TH-cam is such a great platform for sharing and learning and I use it for learning and very rarely for entertainment. It's amazing to me that there continues to be so many opportunities for (UN-tapped) content and improvement upon (empty) attempts to share content.
As you grow your channel, your knowledge library and your business (?), try to remember that there are millions of us out there, like minded and supportive of hard work, humility and innovation.
It is REFRESHING to stumble upon incredibly useful information such as you have shared here. I'm not a cheerleader without a team, certainly no creeper, just sincerely grateful for meaningful and useful content that is a valuable use of my time. AND I'm a fan of taking the time to share positive feedback. Thanks again!
@@cassie3939 Thank you so much! I as well search TH-cam for answers vs entertainment. I love TH-cam for that reason. So i figured why not give out the knowledge I have or have learned along the way. I honestly could care less if I made a dime from it all. Just doing what I love and sharing what I know makes me happy! Thanks again for all your support! Also I should have a video up on the I'm floor storage here soon. Just need to do some editing
@@Brianrogers86 Get a room guys! 😅 Seriously tho why not? Got some things in common.
@@FutureDeadpool hahaha well..... I am single hahah
Very cool design and looks great and much easier than others I've seen thx
LOVE your design!!! Love that it is manual lift and lower!!! Thank you for sharing
Awesome job. Thanks for the info. When we are ready to build, we'll be using your system. Great design. Appreciate the effort and the shares.
Brian, your presentation is superb,your ideas are really great. Thank You.
Brian Roger thanks man , I going to build my 7x14 this winter and your videos are really helpful good job man
Great Job Brian. I love your innovation. Adapt and overcome! Thank you for posting this vid.
Thank you!
Thank you for this. I have a Motorhome and have been wanting to put a bunk bed above the driver and passenger front drivers seats. The ones I have found were so complicated and looked very questionable as far as safety goes. This is simple and safe. Also love the he pot lights you added into the bottom.
That’s the best I’ve seen. Great idea, & thanks for sharing all the info to do the install.
Exactly what I have been searching for. I saw this idea on another video for a cargo trailer conversion but it was though a company. Thanks. Now I can look for other videos.
Simple yet brilliant system !!
Brilliant design. Thank you so much for sharing these details!
That is a great idea. Thanks for including the measurements. I have some heavy garage door track and wheels I think Ill try.
Awesome system / great idea. Liked it a LOT !!! Well done.
I like the kitchen and bathroom. Hauling space is awesome.
Amazing!!! Will definitely take this to my van build. Thank you!!!
Hey man you are absolutely a genius! That right there is ingenuity to the max. God bless you and I hope to see more ideas and projects from you soon brother, keep it up
parsia1363 Well thank you! There will definetly be more to come!
That is the best setup I've seen so far for a bed awesome man better than the power bed. Thanks.
Brian this is incredible, many thanks for sharing this.
this is the best of the best bed lift system on youtube!! no electricity, very smart!!
Again, awesome design and through description. This will help a lot of people, myself included, thanks for taking the time to put this video together.
280zone I'm really glad it was helpful I'm happy to share with everyone.
Excellent work, your attention to detail really shows.
Brian, this is so impressive dude. Some seriously good engineering here. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your bed set-up contraption with us man. I'm about to build something similar & I like your idea the best so I'll definitely be doing something similar. Much appreciated. Oh and great job all around on your trailer bro......it looks really kick ass.
Dude, you are the best! Thanks a lot for charing. Very nice disign.
This was very creative and perhaps one of the best bed lifts I have seen
Smart idea on bed build. Good job on the entire conversion of entire project!
I like your style, well done. And many thanks for the specs, hard to find that kind of generosity . Keep doin what you do.
A very crafty piece of engineering. AND....we got a lot of tips on pressure rods.
Incredible. Thank you. Measurements and all will be building this.
Brian your trailer set up is awesome. I've been watching so many different trailer/skoolie/ambulance builds to get ideas lately and have to say your setup is by far the best. wish you had more videos of the build out of the 8X16
Calvin Gadberry I'm glad you like it! I definetly pride myself on trying to be different and unique. I have a different video of an entire walk through but unfortunately I haven't had time to put together some in detail of specifics. Hopefully one day lol.
Ingenious!!! Great job.
You’re awesome. Thanks for sharing your results that you worked hard for. 👍🏼
Brian, that bed is genius! All the Euro RVs have these loft beds, and not a single US maker except older Safari Trek models, make loft beds. Why not? Its the only one for me.
I would use linear actuators instead of gas struts. Similar concept but bed slides smoothly straight down and they are more robust. Struts make me nervous. You will be adding two bodies to that structure for another 300 lbs + 170 = 470 lbs. Might be too much for gas struts.
Thanks for a great idea and excellent build! Glad I came here.
Wow! Absolutely brilliant idea! 😎😎😎
Helps me look at a different way to put my bed up off the floor to put my motorcycle under Neath. Thanks for relighting the light bulb in my head.
you did an excellent job my friend. There were a million little problems to work through to make that a finished product
Absolutely amazing - excellent solution for cargo conversions
Charlie Anne Chatfield Thank you
Really clever solution and exactly what I have been looking for as inspiration.
Thanks for sharing.
I bought one of these mattresses after seeing this video for my hunting shack. It almost made me want to live there full time. Really comfortable and easily better than the $1500 mattress on my bed at home.
Excellent, space saving, awesome concept
Man God bless you for your knowledge and sharing it...! Thank you! Awesome video and set up!
This is freaking brilliant!
What beautiful work on this loft bed! Very nice of you to show us how you did it. I'm fascinated by loft beds, they are so clever.
First calculation must be to determine weight load - bed frame, mattress, bedding, adults, movement effect.
Struts have to match weight and more. Not sure how those L plates on wall can hold up so much weight - they look so small.
Love this construction, very well done. Love the wall colors too, you are bold in your choices, so nice.
I wonder how the Euro RVs make their loft beds. They seem to have 3 ways:
1. Fully automatic with linear actuator.
2. Springs and glide mechanism like a drawer on glides but vertical. This is manual.
3. Hinged on one end to a giant hinge that swings down like a swing out basket. Manual.
nice work bud, been looking for a diy solution for this and this is the best ive seen so far, tnx for sharing
Finally found a video that will help me do what I wanted to my 98 toyhauler thank you sir
Nice trailer man. You gave lots of specifics on dimensions. 👍
really clever! An example of great engineering judgement
Been considering building a school bus and this is the idea I have had for the bed but I haven’t seen anyone else with it and this is the first video i have seen with this design and it is perfect and thank you so much because I will be stealing your plans here hahaha
Hell yeah! Planning out a box truck conversion. Originally planned for some kind of track system. This is way simpler/lighter once you get the geometry of the struts, etc correct.
Good luck with your build man!
Brian Rogers. This is a very well thought out and extremely well built camper/trailer. I hope you are very pleased with yourself...?.....You should be. Well done.
Thanks! I am very happy with how it turned out. Can't wait for the next build. I love building these
