Installed some more L track throughout the van, I will be using this for our removable bed platform which was inspired by livelikepete (Live Like Pete | Travel Light, Go Farther, Do More). I used some of the existing factory holes and drilled some of my own. I used 1/4-20 Plus Nuts with the Astro Tool, very simple.
After installing the L Track, I used the Ikea Skorva Beams for the main support for the bed. I wanted to increase the height of my garage space so I bought L Brackets from Home Depot and connected them to my L track fittings.
I wanted to do a 3 panel design however I ran out of L track fittings, which I now have on order. We are doing our first overnight in the van tomorrow so I am just going to throw some plywood on top for now for our mattress.
The plywood, skorva beam, and L bracket are secured by a threaded knob that I purchased from Lee Valley. I drilled a hole through all three layers and then installed a 1/4-20 Plus Nut in the L bracket, I was lucky that the threaded knobs already came in 1/4-20.
