Maximising Space In Your Converted Campervan

Converting or renovating campervans is a very popular travel trend, giving people the chance to create their perfect travel vehicle. But when it comes to campervan conversions, every square inch counts. Finding flexible solutions to help you maximise your space can ensure you have a comfortable space to sleep, and a handy living area by day. 

If you’re thinking of converting a van, then check out these tips on maximising your space so you’re ready for your next adventure. 

Use shelves and racks to maximise storage

In a campervan, every inch of space counts. Once you’ve installed your basics, such as your kitchen appliances and bathroom units, you need to add cupboards, drawers and cabinets to help you store all of your essentials. Using overhead shelves and racks can help you make the most of your space, as well as add some decorative elements to make your campervan feel more homely. 

Consider what you’ll need to take with you in your camper, and make changes throughout the year to help you avoid unnecessary clutter.

Invest in multi-functional furniture

Multi-functional furniture is a must for your campervan, giving you some flexibility while helping you make the most of your space. A folding bed can also become a desk, seating area and dining table - giving you several pieces of furniture for the price of one. It’s a handy way of saving some space, helping you make the most of life on the road. With a comfy fold-out mattress and some bedding, you can drift off with ease at night.  

Add storage above and below

One thing you’ll find with a campervan is that you can never have too much storage. So if you’re still a little short, look above and below to see where you can add some extra storage. Some rooftop storage, for example, could be useful to help you store items such as camping chairs and any other equipment you may need for your adventures. Some floor-based storage could be ideal for packing clothing and luggage, that could take up precious space elsewhere in your van. 

Make the most of magnetic strips to keep things in place

Installing your campervan storage is one thing, but keeping it in place is another challenge! Magnetic strips can be useful for keeping utensils in place, while pull-out racks and drawers can also help keep your belongings safely in place. Try not to keep anything fragile stored in high spaces - you risk things falling and breaking while on the move!

When planning your van conversion, consider all of the different ways you can build in storage to cater for everything you need. It can be a challenge, but it will be worth it when you succeed. Your bed, in particular, will be one of your most important van items, so if you can choose a multipurpose solution, you’ll have much more flexibility.

I have been looking for a removable well made piece of van furniture like this for ages. Perfect for surf trips.

The van bed is the perfect fit for our Nissan NV200. Freddie's craftsmanship and ingenuity in the design are incredible and the service was fantastic - he even checked in with us after it arrived and sent videos to help us set it up the first time in bed and couch modes. It shipped from the UK to the US and it arrived well before the estimated arrival date. Super happy to have the van bed for our adventures!
