Van Conversion Layout Planning: Avoid Costly Mistakes

1 min read

Layout is the decision you will live with every night. Spend a weekend with painter’s tape on the floor before buying lumber.

Common patterns

  • Rear fixed bed, side galley: classic, good garage storage under bed
  • Transverse bed across rear: maximizes length for tall sleepers
  • Convertible dinette bed: flexible, daily setup/teardown

Checklist

  • Door swing clearance with someone standing inside
  • Fridge door opens fully
  • Headroom on mattress, not just standing aisle
  • Weight left-to-right balance
