- Removing the dinette that we rarely use, and changing that space to hold DIY Bunk Beds!

Hello pastor, your bunk bed looks nice and everything , but it would of been better if you show where to screw on the walls and on the floor, and the process of assembling the bunk bed
That would be awesome to know I was just thinking that too and now did he screw and if that curtain hanging thing called to....can't find it in Amazon ..😢
Great job. Thought you could sew some of the curtains panels together. Less light especially for the top bunk with the windows.
Also something nice to add above each bed is a memory board. Or a hanging folder or bag to put books or special items.
Nicely done Pastor Kevin. We have similar bunks in our sleeping cabins for the mission teams that visit us to work here on the reservation. I don’t remember if I told you we visited Pirateland in March and loved it. Thanks for your video on that. Praying for you and your family during this crazy time. May God blow the breath of His Holy Spirit on you that you may feel His presence.
Hey, thanks Mike!!! I am praying for you and your family and ministry too my brother. PirateLand is a great place to visit, and we LOVE the food truck there!!!
Hollar next time your travel this way, and I'll do the same for you too!
That top bunk plywood may cause you issues later. Mattresses need to be able to breath on the bottom. I ignored this advice and after less than 6 months on a plywood bed platform I had mold on my plywood and mattress. I'd suggest go and do slats before you have to replace a mattress too.
i never knew this. my mattress on my king size bed at home has sat on a plywood base for over 6 years without an issue.
@@cody1378 - that's because a house has better temperature control over an RV or boat, both in RVs and boats the mattress needs to breathe.
thanks! hopefully that will help someone who emulates this project. However, mine are not mattresses. they are actually sealed 6' foam mat cushions for CPR practice, so no breathing necessary. Since the kids put sheets or sleeping bags there, and since they sit in the RV unused a lot, it was a great alternative to a mattress, and something i got for free! :-)
@@cody1378 doesn’t your mattress at home sit on a box spring that is essentially empty and dissipate any moisture?
kids cute she was acting like vanna white from the price is right lol
Great job!
Excellent job! Would you happen to remember the dimensions of the bunks? I'm looking to do the same in our R.V. and I'm wondering what I'll need for 2x4 and 2x6....great video!
Since I used CPR mats, I just measured them and built the frame around it. You could measure a single mattress and use those same dimensions, or buy some memory foam, cut them to your desired size, and build the frame around them too.
Great idea! LOve it!
it really has made trips in the RV a lot "more better" for the kids. They LOVE having their own space and a small amount of privacy too.
10 yrs knocked off your looks with the hat on🤣 Bro all of us in the hair club for men suffer from this.
ha ha!! the struggle is real!
Do you have a plan for the bunks? We are going to bridling something similar in our class A
well... no...... and yes. I had an idea from a few CZcams videos, but i had to change all the dimensions to fit in my slide's dimensions. Here is a video of a layout i used: czcams.com/video/OQiHX1KXSiU/video.html
Do you find that the added weight (assuming the weight is heavier with the bunk) does it feel the same driving and seeing the age of the video is there anything you would have changed?
The weight of the dinette and the cabinet seem to be reasonably similar to the weight of the bunkbeds. The slide also has two storage bays that have a lot of weight in them, so I wasn't really concerned about the weight there, the slide handles it just fine.
I WISH I had more room to make the beds longer. My 16-year-old is taller than the bed is long, so his feet stick out of the end, but with the couch at the end, there is no way for it to be longer..... a single mattress would have been better than CPR mats, but they were free.
@@RVPastorKevin I can see where that would be a thing. I can only imagine my soon to be 8yo would end up being taller down the road. I was hoping to add like a triangle mattress prop to elevate the upper half to adjust for that particular issue but maybe I should think about creating a pullout bed out of the sofa to accommodate better and leave the bunk bed to the girls.
I love this! What was the final length of the beds? Are they standard twin mattresses? I wonder if my tall kids could fit, haha :-)
gosh, I don't think I measured the final length. Next time I am there I will update this response with the dimensions. As far as mattresses, I had two thick foam mats that we used to CPR training that were no longer used, so I used those for the mattresses on the bunk beds, and they worked perfectly. You could totally do the same thing with inexpensive foam single mattresses from amazon, and trim them to fit.
i love this idea an was thinking about doing the same thing. have you ran into any issues with the extra weight on the slide?
@Cody Skidmore, I also didn't have issues with plywood at home, for the couple of years or so I used it before I did my bus build. I suspect climate has a lot to do with how quickly and obviously I saw problems. My bus has a lot more variable temperature conditions and humidity/condensation to go with it, particularly in winter.
@@DavidiusViajelous good to know bud, i would have never know that... i'll definitely do slats when i build an overhead or bunk beds for my kids in the RV. thank you.
it has not been an issue with my slide, but I can understand the concern. Removing the table and bench took weight out, then adding back the bed frame added weight back. I used pine for the frame, so it is light anyway. I would think overall I might be 30-40lbs heavier than it was, so all in all not too much difference, considering the actual weight of the slide box itself.
How hard was that to do I took my bathroom out on my 93 demon to put bunk beds in it for my kids
What did you do to prevent the bunkbed frame from scratching the walls in transit?
The bottom has "L brackets" screwed into the floor and the frame, so the frame does not move at all. Also, due to the design of the bed, it doesn't wiggle or torque at all. (squeaking or rattling sounds drive me CRAZY when I drive, so I made sure it wasn't going to squeak or rub the walls while we were moving.)
I'm the same way, right now there is a squeal in our car's breaks and it drives me to distraction. What kind of screws did you use so they didn't put a hole all the way through your flooring?
awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!
So have you entirely foregone a place to eat inside? We use our dinette a lot.
yes. for the time; we spend more time in the bed than we do eating, so we made a decision to kit the rig towards the amount of time being used in one thing or another. It was a long conversation mind you, because we did use the dinette. We got a small card table, that we unfold and put between the love seat and the couch, and use that as our table when we eat inside. We also use it to do puzzles, games, etc. Of course, as much as possible, we try to eat outside, since we are camping, and have room to spare outside. On those rainy days, we just break out the card table and eat there.
What do you do for seat belts and seating when in route? I so want to do this!
we still have the seat belts on the couch (3) and the love seat (2). The dinette was never designed for travel seating, so we lost nothing with regard to physical restraints with the change. Now, I'll be honest, the front passenger and driver must be belted 100% of the time, but I do allow moving around in the back, while en route. (some with Class A's and C's allow this, some don't.) The kids are allowed to go to the bathroom, get a drink from the fridge, etc. while we are driving. I just see it as part of the fun, being in a motorhome.)
Do u have the measurements for this build
Can you explain how you attached the frame of the bed to the RV?
Inside The bottom frame of the bottom bunk, I used L brackets, two screws each in the floor, two screws each in the frame of the bed.
Then L brackets on the top of each of the 4 corners, into the ceiling. (Make sure these are short screws so they don’t poke through the roof….)
@@RVPastorKevin thank you!
How did you bolt the beds down
I took 8 L brackets, (2 per corner) and screwed them into the inside of the bed frame and down into the floor. I used other L brackets and did the same for the 2 slide walls, securing the side of the bed frame to the walls.
I know Woodglut has the best woodworking plans.
