    This is the best micro camper layout I have seen. I love the contrast between the light and dark wood. Absolute genius.

    Nice job - and a different approach from the other micro-builds that makes it quite useful for two at the table. The external access to the water plus the alarm really are inspirational. Congrats on thinking around the box - GRIN!

    Ah Mate. Nice vid, nice van. One thing you Have to do is find yourself some shallower meat crates and drop your bed/couches for head height. It will TOTALLY change your experience. I bought a MB VANEO in Georgia in 2019 and toured in it. As a Tandem Paraglider pilot, it afforded me the independence I needed. I also had my bed too high to sit on and consequently lay on the bed more. Not great for the back. Once I dropped the bed for headspace I could sit and work on my computer, or watch a movie. I like that roof box too. With a little ingenuity, that could easily be a single bed.

      @@akiwiinswitzerland6214 No worries mate. Im definitely heading back to Georgia in spring. Will also buy another van. Possibly a little bigger this time, although a tiny truck camper on a Suzuki Carry 4x4 sounds fun. An UAZ Buhanka would take the cake. Where could I send some pics of my van?

    Hi friends. 🤠 Absolutely wonderful precise design and insane end result.
    This was the best version of the microcar design I've seen.
    Last Friday, I bought a Peugeot Partner 2014, a 1.4l diesel van without rear windows and I am absolutely crazy and impatient to start turning it into a motorhome.
    I have already dismantled the walls of the back room, and the floor from old cardboard.
    Now I'm going to start installing the laminate floor. and then I start carefully planning the interior.
    I would really like to see a video of how you did it all.
    What are the dimensions of the back of your car? Length + width + height ?
    Let's be in touch. Good luck! 🚀

    What a waste of space to have that HUGE space 4the circuit brakers. I'd rearrange/replace the cupboard doors to have hanging space on one side. I'd change the HUGE Chest fridge 4a smaller front-opening one, partition off one side 4a cassette toilet. I like the RED though, and the awning. A pop-top 4 🧍‍♂️ standing space would really make it more comfortable when stuck indoors.

    No heating? I'm thinking of copying you van with a few upgrades though. The van would need heating as both uk and portugal can get cold in winter. Is 13ah power pack really enough for you? A 50ah battery wasn't even enough for me. Really like the basic design but not sure about flip up bed I think sliding is better.
