The best interior layout for a camper van? VW Transporter T5-T6, Vivaro, Trafic, Transit

The best interior layout for a small campervan?

We’ve fitted a U shape lounge and bed system to this VW T6

We believe it’s one of the best if not the best interior to get the maximum use of space to convert any small T5/T6 sized van into a day van or camper van.

We’ve fitted this set up in a number of different vehicles from Volkswagen T5 to Vauxhall Vivaro and Ford Transit.

In this particular interior we’ve modified the rear unit and replaced the open style cupboard with a drawer which can be used to house a cooker or grill. In this case we have chosen a Cadac Pro twin burner grill.
With the added extension of another table you’ve also got lots of extra worktop space for either food prep or using a portable sink.

This is a non seat belted system and can not be used as travelling seats while driving, so the van is ideally suited to couples who enjoy an open space design and don’t want to compromise on storage space.

Under the seat/bed are large cupboards to store a variety of camping equipment.

An Oak roof with matching side panel compliments the solid oak worktop and table. Using the Oak creates a lovely warm environment and we use osmo oil to protect and finish the wood. This is food safe and offers long lasting protection and a great finish.

A solar panel keeps the batteries topped up and enables the separate 12v leisure system to power lighting, USB charging and a 12v to 240v inverter to power a variety of items without compromising your van battery.

Up front we’ve swapped out the standard double passenger seat to a single captains seat with lumbar support and twin armrests.

A super comfortable and easy to use camper van which can be used everyday.

I totally agree with you about the u shape layout, so much good seating space.

Looks great, well designed, exactly what I’m after with my van

Difficult to listen to this with the loud music

Love the design, great job! Where did you get the tweed upholstry and sponges from for the sofa? Could you send a link please. :)

Hi 👋🏻 with the swivel seats can you have the leisure battery system under the passenger seat ?

[garyspence]

Great fit out 👏
Whats the cost of the Karndean ?

Love the U-shaped layout, seen quite a few vans now with this rather than the traditional "down the side" furniture / RIB. IMO works best with LWB. I would also have a pop top for both headroom and alternative sleeping to keep the lounge area sometimes rather than make up the bed all the time.

Love the lay out it would be good if you could show the storage you have under the bed and cupboards

I hate my rock n roll bed. Its solid even with an inflatable mattress topper. Desperate to refit mine. This is lovely.

Interesting layout. However think there are now only two belted seats? Just wonder if having everything fixed might be restrictive? For example my drive away awning is quite large even when packed so not sure it would fit. However it is always great to see a creative use of space . Well done for a lovely job.

Hi, Just come across your channel and subscribed, great content! I've recently bought a Toyota Proace Verso, do you think the u shape bed unit would fit? Not sure how it compares to VW dimensions. Thanks in advance :)

Would this fit in a Ford transit custom 2018? I’d like to have one installed in mine

[samuelredmond]

Hi where could I find them cushions
Thank you

[tobywan]

How wide is the bed once its setup? Is it the same as a rock & Roll (3/4 width)? It looks like the person sleeping on the right hand side (viewed from the rear) would have to be short as the cupboards would be in the way? Is there a U shaped solution that provides a full width bed?

[misscurlygirly]

Is the furniture removable or do you offer a removable version of the same layout please? Im interested in this layout for my t5.1 kombi but with a smaller work surface unit as i have twin sliders so want the same gap as on the "long bench" side...

Love that karndean floor too. What is the name of that one?

[paulwbakerphotography]

What sort of cost is it for that type of layout? Can extra overhead cupboard space be added too.

Thank you

Thinking of doing something like this for my swb t5 loving the colour combo of the units and the floor and roof, what is the colour?

Can’t really hear all what you’re talking about due to the music in the background 😢
