I've mentioned a few things about how we pack our DIY Camper Van, but I wanted to try to give you a better idea of how we actually make it work. What we pack, how we pack it, and where it all fits. So this is the post with all the nitty gritty (but probably not-super-interesting) packing details. Hold onto your hats, folks, and let's start at the beginning: The first step in packing our camper van is to remove the back two rows of seats and the jump seat right by the door. This leaves room for Nathan and I in the front, followed by a three-seat row with two carseats (I left a seat between them open so I could sit by the baby sometimes), followed by a two-seat row with two more carseats. We've found removing the jump seat makes a world of difference when we're getting in and out of the beds! It's a little extra work to get it out, but totally worth it! Not to scale. That leg room is false. With the seats out, we can install the bunk system (it's removable when we're not camping and the foundation of making this van work for our family of six!). Once the bunk is installed, I put in both mattresses in place and go ahead and make them up with sheets, blankets, and pillows. Then I roll up the bottom bed toward the left side of the van like this: This makes a big storage area in the right half of the space that is perfect for camping chairs and a tote with other camping supplies that just need somewhere to fit while we drive. When we get to the campground, I pull that stuff out and just unroll the bed and it's ready to go - which is especially handy if we don't arrive at the campground until bedtime because we can be bed-ready in just a few minutes. With the jump seat by the side door removed, we can slide all this gear in and out through the side door without needing to remove the shelving unit by the back door (more on that in a minute). Our first stop with the shelf pulled out - before we realized we could just use the side door. This is what we fit into that storage space while we drive: tote of non-perishable food tote of kitchen utensils, dishes, dish towels, etc. hot dog sticks chairs folding table jugs of drinking water hamper diapers, etc. clip-on highchair Once the beds are made and the extra gear is stashed, I pop in the back door shelving unit. It fits right into the frame of the bunk bed and adds a ton of functional storage: The shelf perfectly fits these bins from the Ikea children's section: five small ANGELAGAN bins from Ikea (7" x 10 3/4" x 6 3/4") $10/set of 3 two large ANGELEGAN bins from Ikea (9 3/4" x 17" x 9 3/4") $8/each Each of the boys gets one small bin that holds all their clothes for the weekend: 2 long pants (1 jeans + 1 sweats) 3 shorts 4-5 shirts socks underwear The fifth small bin works great for hats and sunglasses. One large bin holds both Nathan and I's clothes, and the other large bin has been great for whatever extras we need to pack - swimsuits in the summer, or hoodies, hats, and gloves for a colder trip. The separate bins have worked great for the boys getting themselves dressed in the mornings. It's so easy for them to find something to wear when all their clothes are in their own bin. For the most part we each just crawl into the bottom bunk to get what we need, but it's also super handy to have the bins right by the back door in a pinch! When they boys get wet or sandy, we can open the back doors, grab fresh clothes, and get them changed before they even set a sandy toe in the van! We hung an LED lantern under the bunk, but we also pack like four of these flashlight lanterns. We love them and they are so handy! The top of the shelf is a great place for us top-bunkers to set water bottles, phones, and books. We also pack a small clothes hamper for wet/dirty things that we set up in one of the carseats whenever we are parked. But wait, there's more. :) I lay out all the insulated window shades and the screens for the doors and windows on top of the top bunk. That way they don't get squished and they are easy to grab and pop in place when we park. The jump seat spot is perfect for things we might need to access easily while we drive. We kept the coolers here so we could make picnic lunches - the smaller cooler is all the raw meat, eggs, etc. that we really only use at the campground, the larger cooler has all the ready-to-eat food like fruits and sandwich stuff. There is also a green rubbermaid tote under the smaller cooler that is full of extra shoes - for this trip everyone took sandals, water shoes, tennis shoes, and rainboots. I realize that was a lot, but I knew we would have a lot of wet and sandy stops with chilly weather and I didn't want anyone caught with soggy shoes! I didn't bother with a lid since we get into it so much, but it worked perfectly for keeping all the shoes corralled near the door. We have a large doormat folded up under by the door that we put outside when we are parked at a campground for shoes and wiping feet. Behind the driver seat there is a large tub from Ikea that is perfect for stashing towels, jackets and all the weather-specific gear - we filled it with winter coats on our last trip, but it usually holds beach gear in the summer. I also shoved a baby carrier in there. It's basically a mountain of fabric stuff, but it's easy to get to and worked well for us. Bonus = you can use the Ikea tub as a child-size bathtub! We also take a screen house tent that we stash behind the second row, under the kids feet. It's handy for keeping things dry during a longer stay and keeping bugs away while we eat (we didn't use it at all for our last trip, but I always pack it just in case). Last but not least = the space under the seats. Yep, we use every inch of this van. We slip anything small under the seats like cast iron pans, a small fan, and small bins that hold things like extension cords, clothesline, Christmas lights, trash bags, and the collapsible hamper that we use as a trash can. That's where everything goes while we drive! Once we park it's a pretty simple process: Put up the window shades and screens. Set up the screen house (if we'll use it, depending on weather and how long we'll stay) Move coolers and food to the front seats. Move the chairs and other gear outside. Unroll the bottom bed. Go to sleep. Now here's the crazy part: If we know it's going to rain, we can actually fit everything (even the stuff that was stashed under the bunk bed) piled up in the seats. So when we got to Platte River Campground on a rainy evening and knew we were moving on first thing in the morning, we did this for the night: And in the morning we didn't have to pack up a single wet thing. We just rolled up the bed and slid everything back under the bunk. Was it crowded and a little annoying for the night? Yes. Was it more annoying than packing wet camping gear? NO. Pathway to the cave. I think that's pretty much it! I made a printable packing list that I use for every trip to make sure I don't forget anything. You can download it here and print your own! I'm sure we'll continue to fine-tune things as we go, but this is where we're at so far. And you know what? I do not miss taking down a tent one bit. Rain boots drying out by the tire. I'd love to hear your best camping or packing tips! Or where we should go next!
