Our DIY Quick Van Conversion

We needed a quick van conversion on a rented minivan. It could not cause any damage, but had to sleep 2 people and last for almost 4000 miles. Here is what we came up with quickly and used for 10 days. And We Loved It!

Never would have considered using a rental for camping, making the frame to be temporary and reusable for different vehicles is an awesome idea.

I think some cheap pool noodles would be a great idea between the frame and the side of the vehicle, then you wouldn't have a gap.

Loved this video!

Citroen Berlingo people-carrier owner here (UK) and I want to use my vehicle for occasional short-term camping. Too many "van build" videos either involve skills way above my skillset, or permanent structures, or removable structures that are so large and unwieldy that many people wouldn't be able to store in their houses (UK houses are quite small, with limited storage space) - or all three!

This gave me some simple ideas that won't break the bank and use things I already have in the house. Many thanks!

I love all the built in storage areas! My minivan has a bit of a similar set up but without the storage areas. It's a work van and the seats fold into the floor. I cut 2 pieces of wood almost in a T form because there was more width between the sliders than by the back hatchback. I put foam, similar to pool noodles, all around the outer edges to protect the van's interior and my legs when taking them in and out. I found the OSB left lots of splintered wood on the carpet so I covered all of it in 3 mil plastic which also helped to hold the foam in place. I've transferred this to rentals before but it's never occurred to me to use it as a camping van! Brilliant idea and thank you for sharing!

Fantastic Build, awesome job. God bless & be safe during this Hurricane 🙏🏼

That's a great idea. Our setup is slightly different, as I have to have space for my wheelchair.

When I saw the bucket in the first shots I was going to comment “hey you’ve even got your poop bucket!” As a joke… then I kept watching. 😅 I guess whatever it takes.

Enjoyed your video thanks for posting 👍

Very nice, can you put the dimensions of both sections in. Just as a ballpark?

[dian]

Wish Id known you were coming through the North East, Would have loved to meet up with you

Great idea and plan. Thank you for sharing. Phil 4:13

Looks like the rear seats were folded. You would have had a lot more space if you had removed them. Otherwise, very cool idea.

Why did you travel 4000 miles was it a holiday all the best
