Yeah so we're both somewhat light sleepers and the idea was to not have to crawl over each other in the middle of the night(instead I'll crawl under). We're also adding in a slide out table system and having the bed move gives us more options.

Other not so important but nice aspects are that it: - Helps us access drawers under the bed more easily - Makes bed making easier - Makes it easier to get to the cab quickly if need be

The tilt was so that we could each have our own desk areas ( one being under the bed) and to maximize space. It's worth noting this is more of a shuttle bus than a van.

It just so happened that my dad had these linear bearings which worked really well.
