… and much more found on the individual posts.
Before buying our van we knew we wanted to sleep in separate beds, and as a result, we were set on having bunk beds to maximise space. The choice to have bunk beds influenced the model of van we bought as there was only one van wide enough for us to be able to sleep widthways across the van – a Citroen Relay. Find out why a Citroen Relay is the BEST van for converting here!
If you choose to build bunk beds, special considerations must be made very early on into the build – particularly if you want the top bunk to look like it’s floating, like ours!

When designing our van we knew that we didn’t want to pack a camping table and chairs – we wanted our garage area to be filled with toys!
This led us to build our slide-out picnic table and benches. It has been thoughtfully designed so that the drawer runners are located away from where you are sat in order to prevent oil from ruining your clothes.

Our garage may look small but it is in fact deceptively large. It houses our plumbing systems, a kayak, wetsuits, skateboards, scooters, and much more.
One of the more unique elements of our garage area is the underfloor storage. We raised our floor slightly in order to install drawers, this is perfect for storing tools, and other smaller items that could easily get lost in a larger space, and it also helps us keep our “garage” organised.
Finally, within the garage area, we covered and insulate the wheel arches.

There are several little touches that make our bedroom and garage area special.
We have used touch-activated lights throughout the van. We have 2 lights above the bed, this is so you will have a reading light no matter which end of the bed you sleep at.
Furthermore, each bed is fitted with 2x USBs sockets and a 240V socket so you can charge your belongs in bed. Furthermore, this allows us to charge our E-scooters when they are in their stored position. Finally, the location of the plugs allows us to cook outside using our portable induction stove.
