Let’s dive into an overview of planning your
van build floor plan. Crafting this space is an exhilarating process,
and while inspiration from vanbuild360 van tours on Instagram
and Facebook is fantastic, let’s take a closer look
at the considerations.
The size of your van and
budget will play pivotal roles in shaping the layout. Now, envision
the fundamental aspects:

The dimensions of your van set the stage for the entire layout.
Whether it’s a spacious Mercedes Sprinter or a compact Nissan
NV200, I have owned both, each van demands a unique approach, but you always have choices.
Bed Configuration
What’s the role of your bed – is it a fixed structure or a
versatile space transforming into a comfy couch during daylight
hours? My first van, a nimble Nissan NV200, compelled me to be
creative, converting the bed into a super multi-functional hub.
Kitchen Setup
Consider the culinary domain. Do you dream of a full kitchen with
a stove and ample countertop space? Will it face the side door,
providing scenic views, or align with the opposite wall?
Appliances
Appliance choices matter. opt for a fridge – perhaps spacious
one with a door front or a compact chest cooler style. Decide on the
convenience of an oven, the efficiency of a microwave or the portability of a camp stove or built-in induction cook top.
Seating and Dining
Plan for comfort beyond the bed. Do you need extra seating for
work or dining? This is your mobile haven, after all. Sitting upright while working long hours is a must for health posture.
Keep these ideas in the forefront while planning your interior living space.
