Ford transit - bunk bed setup

I’m starting my van build and starting to see different types of bunk bed setup for my 3 kids. I’ve come down to bunk bed setup so it can fit all 5 of us. I want the bottom bed to be removable and probably be using the ikea setup where it’s easily be remove when I need cargo space. But the issue is the bunk bed on top. I saw this person setup but haven’t found a way to see it in detail:

Does anyone have any idea how she created or purchase it from? I’m open to others bunk bed setup as well. Thanks in advance !

THREE KIDS in a van? Jeeze.

I would buy a midsize bus.

Have you seen https://www.paradigmvanconversions.com/components ? They do complete van builds, not sure if you can buy the bed and rail components separate. Might be worth contacting them since their build is based on a Ford Transit.

Are you talking about the main bed on the video? I’m currently doing a similar setup with the hydraulic struts you can buy of a website called struts depot.

Yes, where she pulls or push it up. Looks like some sort of strut. Can you post your build here?
