PLATFORM BED - DIY Sprinter Van Conversion Ep.7

In this episode of our DIY Sprinter van conversion series, we build a floating platform bed frame that attaches to the sides of the van using rivnuts. We wanted to do our bed this way to allow for more room underneath the bed, without a bulky frame.

We also explain what rivnuts are, how to use the tool and give a demonstration (starts at 8:43 in the video).

Follow along on our journey while we build out a van, travel the world and Encompass Adventure!!

*(6) - Ikea Bed Frame Mounting Plates - Ikea Main Part Number = AA-740446-8 (this is the bed it comes on) and the specific part number is 116791 (These do not come with the telescoping supports so we called Ikea and they sent us 7 for free. They take about 2+ weeks to ship/receive, so plan ahead.)
