A full home needs a place to sit and a bed, of course. In our small house on wheels, the benches and table at daytime will be a flat bed surface by night!
Campervans are as individual as their owners. When it comes to designing the interior and layout of a van, everything is possible! We introduced you to our layout right at the beginning. For seating and sleeping, we chose a flexible combination by a ...
Talking about a home’s walls you might think about side walls or maybe the ceiling but probably not doors. But in a campervan the doors are walls too, and the doors of the Sprinter also need an interior paneling.
For the panels of the back doors we are using the same material as for the ceiling and the walls which is 6 mm poplar plywood. Raw poplar plywood is soft, prone to bumps and not water ...
The living area of our Sprinter amounts to a good 6 square meters. Which means that the whole room is about as big as half a room of an apartment. We want to get maximum storage out of minimal living space so we build a second level - a platform!
Of course we knew from the beginning that the Sprinter is small, we even wanted to get the short version in regard to compactness, ground clearance, etc. But no ...
Bring on the water! We want to be self-sufficient for a longer period of time with our van. So we especially need fresh and clean water. That is why we equip our Overland-Campervan with a big freshwater tank!
When it comes to fresh water supply in a van, there are different options. You can either use small, single canisters or you can install one big tank (or even more than one). The pros of one option ...
We keep it simple with the interior paneling of our Sprinter! For the walls of the camper, just like for the ceiling, we use a classic of van building: poplar plywood.
We already paneled our ceiling with white HPL coated 6 mm poplar plywood. These are the kind of panels we also use for the walls of the living space of the camper.
The wall panels will be installed just like the ceiling panels. To mount ...
Cabin style or plain and simple - our choice for the interior paneling is the latter. We install white HPL coated poplar plywood to the ceiling of our campervan!
The interior paneling in a campervan can be compared to the wallpaper or wall color in an apartment, but in this case it also adds more insulation. Common materials used for interior paneling in a mobile home are felt or velour, fabric, carpet ...
When choosing a floor covering, everyone probably mostly cares about the look. But when it comes to a campervan, characteristics like functionality and weight should not be disregarded. So what kind of flooring should be used in a campervan? We show you what we chose for our Sprinter!
We already told you about removing the old floor panel and the small surprises we found below as well as the ...
The new OSB3-panel is the base of the Sprinter-vanbuild, because all of the furniture will be built on top of it. It’s the base of the whole interior build and it’s now put into the vehicle!
We already told you about removing the old floor panel and the small surprises we found below as well as the sub-construction of wooden slats. After the whole topic concerning insulation we presented the different ...
The floor panel is the base of the interior build of the Sprinter, because all of the furniture will be fastened to the plate - that’s why the build depends on a decent and stable floor plate. There are different possibilities and alternatives when it comes to choosing the right kind of wood.
We already told you about removing the old floor panel and the small surprises we found below as well as the ...
Thermal insulation for great room climate in the Sprinter Campervan no matter how hot or cold it is outside! We tell you about our practical experiences working with Armaflex and show you some alternatives when it comes to thermal insulation.
To say it up front - with all of its nooks, edges and hollow spaces, the Sprinter is quite ungrateful.
With a craft-knife and a preferably new and sharp blade ...
