Re: Re:
Might as well start again as it would be pretty much the same money.
I've seen some interesting set ups on the camper front. Something i like to, that space of your own to take anywhere is cool, much like the boat. I cant drive but i can sail
But yeah a good project if you take your time in the planning and drawing out side. Ive made a number of 'things' that were 1/2 made by ikea or the like, with our/my touch on the overall. Like using standard cabinets, then either reworking them or including them in the design as the main meat of the carcass.
Because i dont drive i do occasionally think on how i would design for a van, having worked out of a number of fitting vans with modular interiors. I thought of a unit that sits on propped legs, you back up to it, engage and slide the entire unit into prefixed sliders on the van and lock it in place.
Modular 1- is campervan- You slide it out,drop the first 2 supporting legs then slide out a bit more to drop the other so it stands alone as a unit.
Modular 2- is workvan - reverse the process, slide in
Modular 3 etc etc
Need somewhere to place them though :? but just some thoughts on the subject.
Was it yourself provided a link on a van where the sleeping compartment slid 3/4 out the back like an extension ? Is so, like that only it holds everything and slides in and out completely.

I didn't link to that slide out van Dyna, but I remember it.
When I say modular I am thinking about the various purpose aspects being removable, such as cooking centre, workbench/tools unit, entertainment/IT/music/film&photography unit, stripper pole.
The van is a factory built minibus, so it has full tracking back to front for all the seats (originally 16), and that means a lot of flexibility for moving units around, and the tail lift means taking them off is peasy.
First thing on the design front is a combined cooking/sink unit with fold out work area. Steel framed and finished in treadplate with large wheels, built in gas tank and lighting/water tank with electric pump.
