Of course you need a cutting board and ladle and butter knife on the road… you can buy all that and maybe it’s lighter out of plastic. But no… that would not be befitting ;D and besides, it’s sooo nice when you open the tailgates and a fresh pine smell flows towards you and you stroke your board and maybe …

The car should definitely get a roof tent to travel with more than two people. If the children come along, they can have their own kingdom there. And a roof box for extra luggage must also be on it. The problem, though, is that there aren’t enough mounts on the roof for crossbars. There are only 3 pieces per side …

For the curtains, I decided to use a Mediterranean cotton fabric… so I can start dreaming about my first destination! Unfortunately, I fell in love with a remnant piece and the the fabric was a bit too little. So I cut up another white cotton bed sheet and sewed it to the inside of each. This looks really nice! On …

I really wanted to darken the windows, so that you can be more or less undisturbed on the campsite and wherever you want to spend the night. There are special car window films with different darkness levels. It is best to take the one you like best, measure the windows and then order it. The film must then be rolled …

After the borders of the bed frame were already in place and after the kitchen was also installed, it was now only necessary to install the slatted frame. As I mentioned before, I sawed and planed all the slats from two remaining spruce planks. It took a total of 25 slats – 13 for the actual bed and 12 for …

The kitchen was actually the most difficult, at least the most difficult in terms of thinking, because everything had to be circled around the kitchen. The space requirement and the size of the kitchen was decisive for how high and wide the bed frame had to be at least. The plan was to put everything on two heavy-duty pullouts and …

On the side of the sliding door should go a shelf, this is a perfect place for clothes and maybe towels. The shelf should start at the rear door and goes forward to the sliding door. The length is 1,40m. With the depth 35cm are enough for me, so the aisle can be about 45cm wide. For the material I …

I was very sure for a very long time that I wanted the bed across the back. After countless Pinterest posts that I had already looked at in the meantime, that was just clear. On the other hand, I was not so happy about the total bed length of 1.80m – because the bus was not wider from the inside …

The car definitely needs an extra back seat if more than 3 people want to be on the road. Fortunately, the van is approved as a 9-seater and so the holes in the floor for the attachment and also those for the straps were already there. So it only needs the bench plus associated belts. Only, to find them was …

The original side panels were quite down and broken. First I wanted to leave them as they were, because I put furniture in front of most of the sides anyway, but then I changed my mind and wanted to replace them. If I already make the work with the van, then the few hours should also still be in it. …
