SIMPLE DIY Pull Out Slat Bed - Stealth Camper Astro Van (Ep. 11)

In this video, I show you exactly how I built this DIY pull out/slide out slat bed on a budget. Of course, this is a very basic design that you modify your own pull out couch to bed.
If you do not know already, I am building this Chevrolet Astro Van into a stealth camper van. The Astro van conversion all started as a barely running van, that I'm slowly getting it back to a reliable running camper van.
Here are the products that we used:
Kreg Pocket hole Jig: https://amzn.to/3bRwB7i
Kreg 2 Inch Pocket Hole Screws(found them cheaper at Lowes) : https://amzn.to/30MvJuo
1 1/2 Wood Screws: https://amzn.to/38LhDxI
Window/Bed lock that should work: https://amzn.to/3bQEREy
Titebond Wood Glue: https://amzn.to/38P9mc9
Locking C Clamp by Irwin(I used my old Pittsburg C Clamp. I would get this one so you can use it in other heavy duty projects) : https://amzn.to/3qRvDfK
Swivel Safety Latch(If you attach 4 to each base leg, the bed will be much more secure, we will be securing the bed to the frame of the car soon) : https://amzn.to/38NPCWm
90 Degree L Bracket (this should be the proper dimensions): https://amzn.to/30QqfPu
90 Degree 2inchx2inch bracket(this should be the proper dimensions): https://amzn.to/3qVV3sx
2 of the 24x72x2" High Density Foam:
1 of the 50x72x2" inch Low Density Foam:
6 x 8ft 1-3s and 2-3s (this will leave you with extra wood incase you mess up): Got them from Lowes

These are the Cuts that need to be made for this bed(I will have an article write up on this soon):
This is based off of a 50inchx72inch pull out bed
2 19.5" of 3x2s (width of the base of the bed, if you want a support bar for the legs, cut two more)
8 11" 3x2s ( these are the legs of the pull out bed)
3 72" 3x2s (2 of them are for the base of the bed and 1 is for the mobile piece)
8 23.5" 3x1s (Pallets for the base/non mobile part of the bed)
9 26.5" 3x1s (Pallets for the mobile part)

This should leave you with one extra 1x3" and 2x3". You can use more pallets if you would like, we don't have an issue with out setup due to the quality of out mattress. If you cheap out on the mattress, I would cut more pallets.
