Clever idea... If you want to make the gliders glide more easy use a candle and wax them. And if you drill a few holes in the wood where you grab it to slide out you have more grip.
Very impressive lady I'm older and disabled and you inspire me so much! I enjoy your channel I travel in my truck camper 3 to 6 months a year you're doing such a good job documenting everything
This is sheer genius. I have a 2002 extended body VW Eurovan and the bed fits perfectly and then some. You are my inspiration for my cat and I to get out there and roam! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you so very much 🙋🏻♀️😘
As a custom furniture builder I am impressed with your use of table parts. Such a Beautiful little Lady will not have any problems. Wood is such an amazing and Beautiful item that nature provides for us. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey
That slide out piece of wood could be made much lighter by getting a doorknob hole attachment for your drill and drilling random polka dot pattern holes in it! I have arthritis in my hands and I would have to lighten it a bit or have finger holes for grabbing it to slide out.
The extenders are genius. You could have made the floating piece of plywood equal to both the other pieces put together. Couch mode would be an even surface (instead of a 3/4" dip in the front portion) and it would fill more of the support gap in bed mode.
I just love how you share your journey in such a simple and inspiring way! You are my favorite traveler. I dream of the time when I can be on the road watching the unknown unfold before me each day! There is so much natural beauty in this country! Thank you for sharing❣️
Looking at some of your older posts, I noticed you are a very positive person, for living in a small space. Very cool, very inspiring 👍👍 you make me laugh 🫵🥳🥳
That is the best idea I’ve seen for a chair/sofa to a bed! It looks like something I could do I built my first bed and decided I didn’t want it that wide and I ended up getting a cut but this may be my next bed project because I really wanted a chair or a couch during day mode. Did you get those drawer extenders also from Home Depot? Did they have a name to them
👋💃🐞 I ❤️it that your so positive & that you genuinely Care for others ! It's true a lot of people don't have all the right tools & get discouraged thinking, I can't possibly do this & with your encouragement they see that / OH 🤔maybe I can do this 🤗 Thank you for sharing & Caring Dee ! Great video👍🤗Stay safe/Be Happy! I'll see on the next video Dee ! 🙂
From one Transit Connect owner to another.. Well Done. I'm always thinking of ways to improve and utilize the space in my TC. You've given me some ideas..Thanks..
Hi Ms. Dee. Good work! Of course it's nice to have a table saw/chop saw/router/sander and all the other handy/time saving tools. You have proved that folks don't have to spend as much for tools as you spend on the build itself. I like the way you think, and make it happen!
Thank you Mark. I appreciate the encouragement. I get a lot of comments telling me just the opposite-that I should just go buy the right tools-so it’s good to get a comment in the other direction😝
Very cool setup. I'm disabled and need lighter weight ways to set up. Love watching your adventures. Hopefully things will work out and I'll be able tp get on the road In a year or so. I'm a caregiver for an 83 year old man.
Brilliant!!..I love watching your videos..I look forward to it every week, you are so inspirational for women [men too I would imagine]..I have to go through and hit ' like ' for every video!! anyway I think you're amazing and so kind to share your ideas and the process of how you make them happen..thank you from Canada
I am glad I looked at your updated video for the layout. I was going to order a different cabinet that has barn style doors, but I like this one. I have sleep apnea and can put the CPAP in there and run it easily off my Jackery. I am plan on ordering the cabinet and will use your link.
This video was awesome! Thank you! I love that you filmed the whole process and described why you made certain choices. The new bed looks great! I love the versatility of it. Folding out a bed each day would frustrate me if it took a lot of time. This bed is quick and easy though. Well done! 👍
Great job ladybug 🐞 out ❤️❤️❤️❤️ happy travels to you ❤️we just got back from Monterey trip visiting family ❤️❤️❤️❤️ in our 1995 gmc vandura. Shorty van ❤️love all you share with us 😇😇😇😇
Increíble, no me lo hubiera imaginado, quedó espectacular, y más aún cuando lo haces tu misma, buen trabajo, gracias por compartirlo y saludos desde Puerto Rico
Hy great Idea on bed Dee I am a 40 plus year furniture and antique restore guy they make those table runners in metal which works smoother not subject to swelling which therefore can make them hard to operate or unable to operate at all they come to be able to open up to different lengths
What a unique💡idea!
..I've never seen a bed done this way and I've watched 100's of UTube van tours! Congrats 👏
Hugs Valerie ❤

I’m glad you like it!

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoy the channel☺️
I know. She has great ideas. I told her I bet she would be able to design a larger van to be like fabulous
Well done Dee, you are brilliant Girl 👏👏👏👍😉🇮🇪🍀

Hoka Hey
Thank you very much, Van! It has served me well☺️
Very nice. Use what you have
Yep!!!😛
@@LadyBugout you're real. I appreciate that.
very clever! the table extender is a stroke of genius. well done!
Thank you!💃🏻💪🏼🐞

Good idea!!!💃🏻
Excellent idea! I'm a big fan of taking out unneeded material with this trick. You can save a good 30-50% of weight.
@@JakobNoone Plus airflow is good too i think 🤔
@@TeeAnn Good thought.
Save the cut outs for coasters or Christmas decorations
Wow that looks great!
Thank you 😊
The extenders are genius. You could have made the floating piece of plywood equal to both the other pieces put together. Couch mode would be an even surface (instead of a 3/4" dip in the front portion) and it would fill more of the support gap in bed mode.
Yes, I might do that. Thanks😊
Table extension slides💡genius👍
Yay! Thanks🤗💃🏻🐞
You are very talented and inventive with some brilliant ideas, to get around your problems and needs. I love the simplistic camper life you're living.
Thank you Dave!!!
You don't need the right tools just the ability to see the end result . Good job !

Lololo😂
Dee, that came out BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Thank you Esther!
Do the first screw and then the end screw; and after that do the screws in between, because you will prevent drifting.
Good to know!
Enjoyed the bed build. Great idea!
Thank you!☺️
Good morning. Great idea! Glad it works for you. That’s all that matters

I just thought that piano hinged may help keep that one loose piece in place. I am using your model to create my platform :). Thank you ❤
I love that idea! It could definitely be a good solution to keep that loose piece from moving!
That is so brilliant! You have a very creative mind, which helps you figure it out and come up with even better solutions to things!
I’m glad you liked it☺️
Very smart design and great execution.
Thank you Lynne ☺️
What a great idea with the extender!
Thank you Nora☺️
