How to Make the Ultimate Multifunctional Campervan Bed

We’ve teamed up with Brothers Make to bring you the ultimate van conversion guide!

Episode 3 covers one of the most important features in any campervan… the bed! With many options to choose from Matt and Jonny decide that a slide out bed is the best option for this conversion as it’s easy to build and a great use of the space. Starting with a Van Vault slider already installed, watch as the guys build a sliding frame with hidden storage and the flexibility to be a corner sofa, single or double bed.

Don’t miss the rest of the series where Matt and Jonny take you step-by-step through their journey of converting a Volkswagen Transporter T5 into an awesome small camper van. Focusing on maximising space and keeping things functional, the processes you’ll see in this series will be adaptable to any van no matter the shape or size!
