    Use a black sleeping bag for your feet. You can get super strong magnets that would hold a rope for a curtain then you can use them on something else later. You need a 1 burner stove too, propane/ butane

    How about getting some thermal window blinds for the windscreen and side windows? You’ll have a bigger sense of space.
    And definitely ditch the bulkhead.
    For the top I glued 25mm celotex and carpeted it. It has worked a treat.
    For the floor you can get those foam interlocking mats nice and cheap and makes it more comfortable

      I want to carpet all over but my top is 7mm , bulkhead is now gone, interlocking mats are good idea too.

    Get a good old fashion water bottle for now . Lol.
    Get some hooks for the curtain then hook them from the metal frame. Or extendable curtain rod.

    I would have a thick rug in back instead of vynal etc, warmer and softer to sleep or sit on. Could try powerful magnets yes, seen a few use them. Or wires from a curtain shop with hooks

    • @DonnyUtton
      @DonnyUtton  2 місяці тому

      Rug sounds cosy, just wonder if such a small space it will be hard to keep clean?

    A good idea with the hatch for leg room. I wouldn’t remove the whole bulkhead personally. For security

    • @DonnyUtton
      @DonnyUtton  2 місяці тому

      I understand what you're saying, if it was a bigger van the bulkhead might have stayed
