We build out a little camper van after years of dreaming about it. It took three years and ended up needing to get help, but we're happy with the result. I have since sold the van and am looking to do it all over again!

      @@benoitauclair2460 I agree this isn’t ideal. But it’s the only way I could get it to work and still open fully. The wall would block the full range of motion only opening to 90°, with the shelves it was a bit awkward to get stuff out. If I have my time again I’d space the fridge off the wall a bit.

    To save space, a chaise mattress(connected cushions that fold out on the floor into a narrow "mattress" at night, and during the day fold into a "couch chair") seems more appropriate here. It would provide space for a camper's toilet that u can place within a shower curtain cylinder to take sit-down showers in, on top of a floor water tray of course, unless that combo is available for purchase already.

    • @loicleray
      @loicleray Рік тому

      Yeah those are pretty epic setups too! You see similar layouts in a lot of smaller vans like the hiaces. I was keen to have a fair bit of semi-permanent storage though. Lots of climbing and outdoor type gear I didn’t want to dance around. This is what fitted my needs. I do like the connected cushion idea though. Haven’t seen too many of those in DIY builds.

    Thoughts on the sound deadening panels? Worth it or regular insulation would do the same?

    • @loicleray
      @loicleray Рік тому

      I think it was worth it. Even with partial installation the difference in vibration noise was significant, especially when driving. Way more quiet riding when empty, more quiet when sleeping near busy roads. That said, depending on your choice of insulation you will notice it also dampens sound, but to a fat lesser degree. In my opinion it’s too expensive to fully line the interior of the van, 20% of the coverage gets 80% of the results.
