A father and daughter team from the Midlands created this campervan. It’s their third one, and they think it has everything you might want for life on the road. The inside has a cozy, country style with light olive and warm oak colors, and a modern, clean design.
The living area is designed to be open and bright, with all the modern conveniences you need. There are two big windows that open and have privacy glass—one behind the bench and another in the sliding door.
The bench faces the window, so you can enjoy the view whether you’re eating breakfast on a sunny morning with the door open or having dinner and watching a stormy sky. They made sure to include plenty of easy-to-reach storage because that was very important to them.
They’ve learned that cupboards in vans can be hard to use because the space is narrow, so they installed drawers with soft close runners below and gas struts on the overhead cupboards to keep them open. This helps use all the storage space the van offers.
The kitchen has a lot of room to work on the solid oak countertops. It includes a Dometic 80-liter fridge freezer, a Voyager 4500 gas cooker with a 2 burner hob, grill, and oven, and a big black ceramic sink with a matching black and brass faucet that pulls out.
The water comes from a 65-liter fresh water tank, pumped by a Shurflo pump in the rear garage. This setup prevents the water from freezing when it gets very cold.
Below the sink, there’s a 23-liter tank for waste water that you can get to from the sliding door, which makes it easy to get rid of grey water.
The kitchen’s look is finished with Metro tile pattern splashbacks made from Reco tiles—these are lightweight, high-performance, and easy to take care of acrylic panels, which they also used in the toilet and shower area.
The toilet in the campervan is an electric flush Thetford Porta loo set on a wooden slatted base, which makes it easy to remove when you want to use the shower.
Hot water comes from a Truma Combi boiler and space heater in the garage, which warms the van through three vents located in the living area, the garage, and the shower cubicle. The shower cubicle also has an extractor fan, great for drying wet clothes.
The shower has a split door and an extendable curtain for privacy, so you can use the toilet or take a shower without taking up too much space in the living area.
All the appliances are new and come with their original manufacturer’s warranties.
The soft furnishings are all handmade. The sofa cushions are covered in a soft, durable linen fabric, and the curtains are made of blackout material. Everything is removable and machine washable, so it’s easy to keep clean after muddy adventures!
We also designed a cozy and inviting bedroom area. You can easily step up through an archway to the fixed double bed, which has a padded headboard upholstered in the same linen as the sofa. A window by the bed offers beautiful views, and a skylight above brings in more light and air.
There’s plenty of storage with high-level cupboards and bedside storage that includes USB ports for charging your devices. The room has two main ceiling lights and bedside reading lamps that you can control individually.
Next to the shower, there’s a half-height wardrobe for hanging clothes and extra drawers for storing toiletries.
The bed frame in the van is set high, creating a large storage space, or “garage,” underneath that you can get to through the rear doors. This garage has bright white LED lights and a tough rubber floor that looks like pennies.
It also stores the GAS IT 11kg refillable LPG tank, which powers the cooker and the Truma Combi heater.
The van is insulated with Celotex and synthetic wool, making it warm enough for very cold trips. For hot weather, a Maxxfan in the ceiling of the living area brings in a cool breeze or can take out cooking smells.
The living space has warm white LED spotlights that you can control with a remote. All the van’s 12V electrical needs are powered by a 290AH AGM leisure battery, which gets its charge from 320 watts of solar panels on the roof.
This setup includes three 240v outlets powered by a 1500W inverter, so you can live off the grid easily.
We focused a lot on making the living space both functional and stylish, especially with the black and brass hardware and fittings. We think van life should look good and work well!
This van is great for a couple, but it can also fit an extra guest or a family of three since you can set up another bed in the living area. If you’re traveling alone, there’s plenty of room to enjoy by yourself.
If you have a pet, you can put a crate in the garage, which the pet can reach through double doors from the living area. These doors can be taken off to make a doggy entrance, and there’s a curtain for privacy when the back doors are open.
