I converted my Ford Tourneo Connect van into a micro camper. This DIY camping box has ample storage room and a pull out drawer with dedicated cooking area, so we are ready for road trips, weekend getaways, and simply live a bit of the van life.
The camper box also fits cars like the VW Caddy, Citeron Berlingo, Renault Kangoo, measuring 193 x 112 x 36 cm when it is folded out.

I built a very similar box except I split the bed portion into 2 seperate foldout sections. I can remove both seats or just one depending on whether I need a double or single bed. Bravo, very nice job!

@jonathansimmonds5784 4 месяца назад

The one thing wrong with a great many of these conversions is they don't have anywhere to sit when the bed is made, a space to put your legs over the side to get dressed/undressed or have a piss in the middle of the night? I did see a very clever micro van conversion in Japan where a section of the bed was removable creating a footwell so the guy could cook wash dress eat etc in relative comfort, not have to do everything on your knees!

@dreadeye5127 Месяц назад

There are some that make them were you can sit upright in them, and also lay it flat down. they have a table in the middle. Check out "man on the outside" he made one were you sit in it

@MD-00 24 дня назад

Well most time you can sit outside, but I'd put a slide out for the table/seat in case it rains. I'll also make it a single beds to use if there's 2 or one to save space/weight.

@caroltorres6941 29 дней назад

Great job! I was just wondering how does the folding part (let's say) stay in place without any support, maybe I missed something 😅

@ericinthewild 19 дней назад

Good question! The middle lays on top of the folded down seats. The third part closest to the driver seat is supported via some small climbing cord looped through the seatbelt structure.

@gone-in-sixty-seconds8617 4 месяца назад

Looks fantastic very well done, what size screws did you use for the wood and also the piano hinges please

@ericinthewild 4 месяца назад

I bought long piano hinges 20mm width, I believe the screws were 3.5cm long. Regarding the hinges, if I'd do it again, I might go for some more heavy duty hinges and inset them. The long & thin piano hinges are quite flimsy and really require all the screws to hold it there.

Well... That it looked like a bone. The flavor I'll leave to your dog to decide 😂.

@silviaroiatti3588 11 дней назад

Beautiful project! I have a question: all three panels above are 680, while the one at the bottom is 705? And how does the bed panel in the middle rest on the floor?

@lunkhead57 5 месяцев назад

Hey can I ask what the far end of the platform is supported by when it is folded out for the bed? I assume the chairs are down or removed but is there just empty space under where your head rests or does that board/panel sit on something? Thanks.

@ericinthewild 5 месяцев назад

I like to think of it as having three parts, all with separate support systems. The first part, closest to the rear door, is supported by the box itself. The second part (which in a future build I'd have the joint resting on the box as well), is supported by the seats. I also throw a long rectangular piece under the joint between the 2nd and 3rd part, so that it rests evenly and distributes the weight a bit better on the seating backs. The third part is then held up by very thin climbing cord, you can go with 3 or 4mm thick. Simply thread it through the last slat and go under and around so the cord isn't pulling from underneath your mattress, then you can tie it off either in the seat-belt pillar loop / anchor ring, or directly on the metal posts from the front-seat head rests. If you know your way around knots, you can make a sliding one that then allows you to easily adjust the angle of this piece too. Good luck!

@derekpresland4029 4 месяца назад

Great piece of work, considering doing the same thing, what do you guys do for ventilation at night.

@ericinthewild 4 месяца назад

We have rear windows which kip open slightly, and if it's really cold I'll usually just unlock them and that leaves a small slot that does the trick.

@derekpresland4029 4 месяца назад

@@ericinthewild That's what I thought, sorry not for me, I would not feel comfortable sleeping in an unlocked car. enjoy.

Nice camperbox! What kind of wood did you use?

@ericinthewild 11 месяцев назад

It's all beech wood! 15mm for the frame and bed, 12mm for the box and face.

@enricociccarelli1127 4 месяца назад

Amazing work! May I ask what is that piece (min. 6:50) between the first two blocks of the upper part for? Is it to load the weight better? Why don't you join the two big blocks directly? Maybe it's a stupid question but I'm new to these things 😊

@ericinthewild 4 месяца назад

If you look at the fold-out (07:13), that small piece allows the sections to stack on top of one another and then fold out into one flat piece. The folding out section 3, we could call it, is sitting on section 1. The added small piece gives the depth so that the pieces are still flat. Hope that makes sense. Just watch the video clip a few times and I think you'll see what I mean. :)

@enricociccarelli1127 4 месяца назад

Suuuure, now I got it 😅 I thought it was something to make it more 'functional' but it actually is for the sizes! One more thing, may I ask you if the hinges to join the openable pieces are specific ones? Can I buy them online? Or are they commons? Thanks!!

Do you find the split mattress uncomfortable ?

Not at all, it is very comfortable! We put a soft mattress cover/protector type thing on top of the mattress, and then the sheet. Bamboo sheets...also recommended :).

Can anyone explain how i can pay for the plans? I see a paypal, however also something about membership, though can't see anything more about how to get a membership

@ericinthewild 3 месяца назад

Hey there! Just write your email in the paypal comment, and "camper box plans". Then I can send them to you directly, or even give the link over paypal chat. The membership is just kind of like a Patreon through RU-vid, some people choose to support creators this way. You can find that if you subscribe and then click "join" on my profile, you'll see some options with perks etc. For those who are members, they can essentially deduct the membership fee from the price of the plans. Hope that helps!

Шурупы в торец фанеры это нормально?

@ericinthewild 3 месяца назад

No, but necessary for the way this is built. If you predrill the holes you will be more successful. Alternatively, use a different hinge mechanism. If I built it again, I would inlay different hinges... Because you're right, this is the weakest part of the build.
