Looking for a DIY rock and roll bed? You’ve come to the right place!

NOTE: FILES UPDATED July 15, 2023 – includes modification for Aluminum Swivel Table to be added between the seats (full change-log included in download). Previous purchase includes access to new, updated files. Visit the download section for access to the updated zip files.

This bed design gives you a handful of different options, and provides all the drawings, parts lists, links to products, and instructions you need to build your own. These plans are based on t-slot material that is 1″ x 1″, but can be modified to be used with almost any material. The design is simple and adaptable to any van.

The 4 seat design (V1.6) needs a pocket in your van that will fit a 41″ wide by 49″ seat (that extends to 73″ when turned into a bed) with a base height of 9″. Modifications can be made, but this will result in the cut list needing to be updated. It’s best to modify the drawing and then do a thorough review of the cut list.

The 2 seat simplified design (v3) needs a pocket that is 42″ wide by 30″ deep (that extends to 51.5″ when turned into a bed) with a base height of 9″. Modifications can be made, but this will result in the cut list needing to be updated. It’s best to modify the drawing and then do a thorough review of the cut list.

The simple SketchUp CAD application can be downloaded for free (free version of SketchUp here, but may eventually become online only) or be used online in any browser here, and is best used by those who are proficient with CAD software. If you want the additional drawings to include all the variations on the design, assembly instructions, and parts lists, you can get those right here by buying this package and supporting my creative outlet.

I don’t mind answering simple questions, but if you would like some more in depth custom design and consulting help, I can provide that for an additional $100 per hour. Not sure what you need? Send me an email at eric@thepetersens.ca. Note that this purchase does not include the 3D printed clips, as I have to outsource them as well as ship to your location. To order the clips, click here.
