In this video I show you how I put together my DIY bed lift in my Ram Promaster van build out. I discovered this cool idea from Drifter Journey's build and I modified it to suite my needs.
Drifter Journey needed a smaller lift to fit their bikes in their garage and I wanted a larger lift to build a lounge/workstation area underneath my bed when it is lifted. I used actuators with a 22" stroke and DJ used a 12" stroke.
