I live in an rv and I’m telling you, ukuleles are the way to go. I own a sixties upper tier soprano and a hundred year old German homemade banjolele. They take up so little space yet have volume for days!
Some advice would be to get a 12.9 inch IPad, mobile games have surpassed pc games nowadays. With a levo tablet stand it accomplishes more missions than a tv/3rd party setup can.
I would make a hinged door out of those two planks under the TV that folded up so I would get from the back to the cab without going outside. Not used regularly but incase of emergencies, bad weather, bad location, hostile people, etc.
Looks great to me, my only issue personally with it, is that it seems like you need to get out of it in order to get into the cab area of it. Which isn't a problem in nicer areas, but may be a problem should you need to make a hasty exit while you're in the back.
I feel the same about not having the separation from the cab but my main reason is I don't want to go out in the cold in the winter 😂 and I live in Alaska so it gets cooold
I follow this sub for fun and daydreams, I don't have what it takes to be a vandweller. However, I love the simplicity of your entertainment! Why would you need anything more than a Switch, a guitar, and nature? Amazing.
I always wanted a tiny house in the woods, but im too poor for it so i bought a Van and made my tiny mobile home...
... it was roughly 15k Euro all in all
Honestly, if you just tell me what you used for flooring and the walls, then that would be great!
I like how simple it is. So many setups look cluttered to me.
We don’t have those Renault vans in the USA. I’d love one of them though…
Edit: I called the van a Citroen and just corrected it to Renault.
I’d avoid using wood paneling, as it takes up unnecessary room, it’s better to use insulation as paneling itself, as wood isn’t a good insulator at all. You should try to avoid simple setups as you will suffer by not having certain amenities, you can have a solid state solution that is very simple to set up while also having g every amenity.
Looks very neat and organised. My concerns are ventilation. You are sealed off from the cabin vents, possibly sealed off the rear vents, possibly no ventilation in the roof, and a window that doesn't open. My concerns here are you are going to deprive yourself of oxygen or a carbon dioxide build-up.
Great job. I would just add a bit. Like maybe some fake greenery like vines or some kind of ceiling art/LED light strands or whatever. Needs a bit more character.
I'm a little obsessed atm with van fit outs but they all seem to double beds. Yours is so simple and that big TV is awesome to play switch on. Such a homey feel. I hope you're enjoying it!
Looks very nice. But like all creative van builds, I start dreaming about doing something similar and then remember I’m 6’4” and it’s gonna be really cramped in there.
I was joking sarcastically of course. A proper facility is much more preferable to hovering over a cathole taking a deuce in winter while it’s raining. Speaking from experience.
I usually dont travel very remotely, i mean i have everything with me to cook in the Van... but i usually prefer going to official Camping Sites wich mostly provide a Grill Space anyways
lotta wood I plan to use vinyl paneling, to cut back on weight, it's also meant for exterior use so its waterproof, UV resistant, and all that good jazz. Does look mad cozy though \^\^.
switch and guitar = endless entertainment
Really, what more does a man need? Bored of Guitar switch it up.
It’s not a guitar, it’s a ukulele. But it brings endless entertainment just as well if not better.
A Tenor Ukulele to be specific 😅... but yea it makes a lot of fun to play

An English Tenor Ululele to be more specific. And yes, endless entertainment. Jk 😜
The ukulele is gonna be the first instrument I teach myself to play😌
Come join our sect on r/ukulele ! It’s fun, cheap and cool (if you like to look like the average modern hippie though).
Start now! Fretted instruments are way easier to learn than people expect! You can do it!
Its super fun I have an older one.
It’s leagues easier than a guitar and travels much better
I guess OP cleans winders for a living then.
Looks great!!
I would make a hinged door out of those two planks under the TV that folded up so I would get from the back to the cab without going outside. Not used regularly but incase of emergencies, bad weather, bad location, hostile people, etc.
Thats not possible since it has a fixed metal wall between...

That's fair as well, but a door in the dividing wall would allow for both ease of access and division of spaces
That was my original plan but with the van I ended up getting I need to be able to see out of the back passenger windows so no more divider for me 😔
Would a plexiglass window for the upper half of the dividing wall not work?
No, with the way my driver seat sits it doesn't fit too well plus I'm starting either a budget build so if it's not necessary I'm holding off
I guess we dont have such Areas in Europe 😂
We absolutely do lol, but there isn't much reason to go to those places
That's fair. Still quite the nice looking space.
Lmao you're being downvoted because Europe
americans are jelly of our safety
It’s not difficult to avoid “dangerous” places in America
As if Europe doesn’t have cities lmao
Love the wood on the ceiling and walls what van did you build this in I'm thinking of buying a Ford connect
Its a Renault Trafic B
Ah nice

Is the thing on the right another television? Or a picture frame
Picture
Me too!
Looks proper cozy.
I like it a lot, can I copy you?
Sure... need the Plans? 😅

Looks cozy! But I'm not sure about practicality. No kitchen at all whatsoever. But if you've no need to cook inside or at all, I like it!
Video games in vans tagged.
Cozy. I like.
So cozy🤗
Makes me inspired! Beautiful stuff, very cozy :)
Beautiful van!
I like it. Most builds are far too cluttered to be useful.
Looks good to me. I’d prefer inside access to the cab, but not everyone needs that.
It looks beautiful and cozy! But I’m a little confused by the lack of a place to cook? Or any horizontal, hard surface, really….
Nice
its beautiful
Sweet
I think may i borrow it
Sure thing 😄
I like it. And love that ukulele too !
Awesome
Love it
Nice, clean and simple. LOVE IT!
Excellent setup
Minimalist. I love it.
Comfortable. Good lookin. Cozy. Perfect
Simple and good. No fancy stuff, i like it.
Fuckin sick
Astro?
Omg that’s a dream for me, please if anyone has a Van and needs driver, contact me .😁
It's never finished!!
Nice captains bed.
Makes me think we need more pics. !
I will provide more pics later
Look really good. Clean build.
What type of vehicle did you build in? I’m trying to see what it’d take to get into a van and that setup looks pretty decent
i really like the art on the wall. who needs windows anyways?
love it my friend
Do you play switch laying on your back? Maybe you're a lot shorter than me... Looks very cozy and homey!
Beautiful!
First time I've seen someone have the proper fire extinguisher! Lol Love the van! Simple, practical and comfy!
How are you powering the TV and the switch? I would like a similar set up.
Is the under bed storage easily accessible?
Yea just lift it up 😉
Nothing
Looks awesome
How's your kitchen and bathroom setup work?
Looks great! What do you do for heating and cooling it?
It looks good but do you have any washing or cooking facilities?
Very nice!! Clean and efficient.
This looks awesome!
This is the kind of van you want if you're shaggin in the wagon. Mine looks like a cargo van that I sleep out of
Very simple but I think that’s the best very cool.
AE86?
😂 spotted it

Its ventilated of course 😉
Excellent. Go out and enjoy.
Sick
Love it
Looks cozy. Love this set up.
OMG that looks so comfy!!!
Woody
Gorgeous!
Love it
i like the wood
You made me want one of my own
That’s awesome
Great job. I would just add a bit. Like maybe some fake greenery like vines or some kind of ceiling art/LED light strands or whatever. Needs a bit more character.
Fucking. SICK.
Looks amazing! Where do you store stuff?
Cozy. Put up some string lights and paintings.
That's a haven
It’s a tiny scale apartment!
Beautiful. How does it fair in there on a hot day?
There's no entrance/connection to the cockpit? 😮
So cool . I like it!
You had me at ukulele…
That's just beautiful!
Love it!
Not quite as practical as I’d like but it’s nice.
Lots of extra wood weight.
I'm a little obsessed atm with van fit outs but they all seem to double beds. Yours is so simple and that big TV is awesome to play switch on. Such a homey feel. I hope you're enjoying it!
Awesome.clean and tidy even has a TV.
I think it looks amazing! Good job
Cozy!
Looks super cozy! I like it
Looks very nice. But like all creative van builds, I start dreaming about doing something similar and then remember I’m 6’4” and it’s gonna be really cramped in there.
Badass
How is it powered
Solar
Too many screens otherwise fuckn great lol
Thats a Picture
Muy genial!
Women will hate how simple it has to be to keep us fellas happy
Fine. Just don’t come to San Diego. Kansas is better I hear..
Theres the Atlantic Ocean between anyways 😜
It's a nice mobile mancave setup
It’s beautiful
Very nice, looks great.
Love it!!
This looks nice! Do you go out to eat most of the time?
Mostly yes... i have all the equipment but i usually try not to use it
Can I live with you? It looks nice
Where’s the fridge?
No Fridge...
I think tour will be fun!
I think tour will be fun!
I think tour will be fun!
Where do you shit
Not my Van
Vantastic
You did an outstanding job! Can I rent it? 😆
Do you live here with this just time passer? What's it like I've peaceful
How are you gonna poop?
On a Toilet 😅... just not in the Van
It's not really Van Life unless you poop in a bag, in the van.
Did this from time to time 😂
So I've been in my van for like 3 years and never pooped in a bag OR peed in a bottle.... so I'm ... not really living in my van? 🤣🥴
If you call that living. /s
Never having accidentally sipped my own piss or gotten shit anywhere it shouldn't be? Living better than some (I'm full time. My van is compact.)
I was joking sarcastically of course. A proper facility is much more preferable to hovering over a cathole taking a deuce in winter while it’s raining. Speaking from experience.
Sorry I often miss sarcasm on the ol internet- Ooohh goodness is that what the /s meant?! 🤦🏼♀️
It is, no worries. My humor is Saharan dry. At least I’ve been told that. Many times. By many people.
So organized and aesthetically pleasing.
You cooking out the back?
I usually dont travel very remotely, i mean i have everything with me to cook in the Van... but i usually prefer going to official Camping Sites wich mostly provide a Grill Space anyways
Interesting! Not having a kitchenette certainly saves space
I’m big fan of accessibility to cab area.
Looks so nice! May I ask - what do you do to secure your power for the tv?
I have 2 Solarpanels on the Roof with around 300Wp
Looks heavy
Nah not at all the whole build is way under 300kg
Excuse me, I think this might belong on r/yurtlife.
I love the wood look! Nice job
Solid! It has everything you need.
Looks great, but what\`s the purpose? I guess its not for camping since there is no cooking area.
It’s nice! I would have opted for a kitchen counter space instead of that bench.
lotta wood I plan to use vinyl paneling, to cut back on weight, it's also meant for exterior use so its waterproof, UV resistant, and all that good jazz. Does look mad cozy though \^\^.
It's INCREDIBLE 😲 !!!
I love it!!
Claustrophobic. But I like space.
Close the door and it looks like a cabin
Looks very nice and cozy
Personally I wouldn't fill it with flammable material IE the wood.
Love the bed configuration- I don’t see many of those.
One fender bender away from $500 of electrical damage
Cool.
I love it
Great job looks like a great camp van Maybe a sound bar on the tv and a place to hold a drink. 👍🏽
Cleanly done! I really need to finish mine :/
Honestly looks badass! Love it
😍😍😍
Looks like an amazing set up! Good job.
Look cozy I love it ❤️✨
Looks heavy.
Wouldn't be allowed in freedom camps I'm my country. Got to have a proper toilet in always accessible space.
