Murphy beds are a type of moveable bed that can be folded up against a wall when not in use. This is one method to get additional use out of the limited space in a vehicle, but it does add some cost and complexity to the build. These are sometimes called pull-down beds, fold-down beds, or wall beds.
Hardware kits
You can purchase hardware kits to make the building process much easier. For example, this sturdy kit from Vevor is an inexpensive way to get started; build a cabinet and frame in your van, and use this kit to connect the two together.
