Hey Drifters! This is the video you've all been waiting for! How we built our bed lift!
We get asked how our bed lift works ALL THE TIME! Which makes sense, because it's a rad feature of our van and we are stoked to finally be able to share it with you!
Please like, comment, subscribe and share with your friends. We don't get paid to do this, but sure would like to one day :). Also, we do make a small commission from our Amazon links, so please shop through them. We earn a kickback from anything you buy, not just our linked products!
One thing to note about using the Rivnut tool is that you need to drill a slightly larger hole than the Rivnut itself. You can lookup a Rivnut Hole Chart to see how large your hole needs to be for the Rivnut you want to use.
Here's a list of supplies that we used for this project. Although this list isn't all-inclusive, it includes the most important stuff:
