\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n This stage is often ignored since we are impatient working on our Van construction. I defined four zones (two inside and two outside with my tailgate open) to receive my future layouts:<\/p>\n These areas have their own specific constraints. Design is here to harmonize all of them with consistency and coherence. Ask yourself this question: How can I improve my usage with an equipment as minimalist as possible?<\/p>\n \u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n Internet is a powerful tool. It\u2019s rare you\u2019re the first person to face a problem. In 95% other people encountered it too. Inspire yourself from their ideas and solutions. The more examples you see, the more ideas you cross, better is the result you wish to obtain. Observe carefully around you, even the most common thing such how works a draw can bring you part of the answer.<\/p>\n Think about every task your Van must take in consideration\u00a0during a day\/week-end:<\/p>\n My visualizing and synthesizing skills where really helpful with my deep \u201cultra light all mountain four season\u201d traveling experience to define every aspect I have to take in consideration for a 48h journey.<\/p>\n Once this exercise done, it\u2019s time doing a schematic circuit diagram.<\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n Your analysis must take in consideration every aspect you want to implement, even ideas you\u2019re not sure about. As example, I would like to add rear audio speakers in my Van tailgate but I don\u2019t think it is necessary right now. However I pulled audio cables from my car audio system to the tailgate in order to avoid a difficult mission if I change my mind.<\/p>\n \u00a0.<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\nDefining specific areas into your Van<\/h2>\n

How do you think you will use your Van for 48 hours?<\/h2>\n
\nAnalyzing what you see is primordial. There is always a way of optimizing an idea if you have examples and\/or a strong work experience in different fields. If you don\u2019t know “how to do”\u00a0 something, ask YouTube and learn!<\/p>\n\n

Insulation or not?<\/h3>\n

<\/a>In my case I’ve chosen not insulating my Van against temperature variations because I have windows. Therefore my van is only a rain and wind shelter like a tent and my sleeping bag must keep me warm during the night. However I added synthetic foam in my car body to reduce sound vibrations and noise while I’m driving.<\/p>\n

<\/a>One of the most important things when you want to design your van before construction is identifying empty volumes. When your car body is bare, take a look and see if there is a possibility of creating storage units between two steel sheets like the one I made.<\/p>\n![\"van](\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Amenagement-Utilitaire-Sportif_Mercedes-Vito_capitonnage-300x205.jpg\")
