# Camper Van Foldable Bed This are parts i created to build our functional bed in our custom made camper van. ## The Parts ### Sides The sides are built of a 16mm textured coated board. Each side has three layers. The middle Layer is the bed itself that can be moved. The outer layers keeps the husk and bolts in place. ### Duckboards The width of the bad can be coosen by yourself. Just use some planks in the same width. The bed in the pictures has a width of 1.4 meters. The Duckboards and also the mounts are from an old bed. ### Arretation and mechanics To create a strength rotation axis i used husks and bolts out of aluminium. The husks has a outer diameter of 16mm. The bolts has the best diameter available in the hardware shop. The bolts has a well in the length direction to put in the wire of the bowden cable and one well from the side with a thread to screw in a setscrew to secure the wire. A compressing spring of 45mm length togheter with the 3D printed part are the arretation mechanics shown in the animated gif. A number of 6 pieces are needed. One for each foldable side of the bed and one for the splints. This twice for each side of the bed. ### Splints The bed can b moved on the splints to gain more room inside the van. ## More Information If you want to build this bed and you need more help feel free to contact me!
