You just have to learn to maximize what you have and not bring everything and the kitchen sink! There are TONS of ways to maximize space. Think...smaller versions of stuff. Like instead of a full cutting board, I use a bamboo trivet that is for my Omnia Oven. If it has more than one use...chances are, it's in my van!!! LOLOL Stay safe out there and happy trails to you as well.

    Hiya from Minnie Pearl CC #283! It's interesting how different folks set-up their vans. I do wish you would have shown how you get the bed back to couch mode - that's one thing i struggle with being an older lady with short arms and not much arm strength. In fact if I'm not traveling with my dog I only pull the bed out about 3/4 so I can easily push it back without getting out of the van - thanks!

  • @OutdoorDashTravels

    Oh man!!! Go to the back of the van! Easily pull up the back and just inch it a little further up to get you hands by the fridge and then…pull it back! You will hear it click! Give it a try! It slides pretty effortlessly on the track. While I’m the van. Put the mattress half on top of the other. Then (The right side of the bed platform is slanted a bit and I bend over with my elbow resting on the back of the driver’s seat) grab it midway, pull up the back up and then use my knees to push the bed back in.

    Hi Gina! The board is 26” long and 10” wide. They are held in by two “heavy duty” hinges that are attached to the cabinet and the board. I then sanded, rounded the corners then used a clear polyurethane to seal it. It “rattled when driving so I attached some small bungee cords to keep it in place and no more rattle. Hope this helps.

    They Just switched up the electrical on this conversion. So now it can come with Lithium, bigger fridge and a 1 gallons grey water holding tank. You can upgrade the solar to 220W (110w standard) and the inverter (which is 400w standard) to 1000w. Of course the base price has gone up because they are using lithium now. I believe standard is $9800+the Ram Promaster City Cargo Van 2015 or newer.

    Sure. It’s about 36” (3 feet) from the couch to the ceiling. I’m 5’2” (62 inches) and I move about the rig hunched over nicely. Sitting down on the couch is so comfortable sitting straight up I have PLEANTY of head space. I also sit with my back against the drivers seat with my legs towards the back window. Great for movie night on the back doors with my screen. The bed in couch mode is 75” long by 21” wide (seat), 25” high (back). The bed folded out is 75” long by 43” wide (accounts for 3” wheel well).
