Therefore, they need a SUV layout that:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>is made with resilient materials that last long and easy to clean,<\/li>\n<li>offers the right fixations to load\/unload quickly their equipment and protect the SUV layout<\/li>\n<li>provides some additional functions to protect their equipment from wear and tear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Van design: choosing the right materials<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These three criteria have been taken really seriously when I made my SUV layout. I used marine plywood for its low weight, high resistance and its low bulk. My convertible bed use a steel structure saving space and super resistant. The combo foam\/leatherette is lightweight, scratch-proof and easy to clean. Bathroom lino is easy to cut, lightweight and easy to clean.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Van design: Holding your equipment in position<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019ve developed <a href=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/en\/amenagementfourgon_transport-moto\/\">specific fixations to load and hold my motorbike<\/a>, mountain bike and snowboard. Those fixations also protect my van design from scratches. As you can see I don\u2019t need straps to hold my motorbike and my front axle hold my mountain bike.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Van design: water management<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last but not least, I\u2019ve included a <a href=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/en\/pompe-membrane\/\">diaphragm pump<\/a> operated by a <a href=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/en\/amenagementfourgon_domotique\/\">Raspberry Pi<\/a>. This nano computer allows me to regulate my water consumption. With my 12V low pressure water pump I can operate two programs:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>having a shower<\/li>\n<li>washing my (muddy) equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SUV-layout_DIOT-Julien_minimalist-shower-tailgate_worldtour-outdoorexperience.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4596 size-medium\" style=\"margin-left: 30px;\" src=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SUV-layout_DIOT-Julien_minimalist-shower-tailgate_worldtour-outdoorexperience-230x300.jpg\" alt=\"van design shower\" width=\"230\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SUV-layout_DIOT-Julien_minimalist-shower-tailgate_worldtour-outdoorexperience-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SUV-layout_DIOT-Julien_minimalist-shower-tailgate_worldtour-outdoorexperience-300x392.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SUV-layout_DIOT-Julien_minimalist-shower-tailgate_worldtour-outdoorexperience.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/a>I really like my shower because this one is well integrated. I haven\u2019t seen anybody doing it my way with a hose running through the tailgate and using quick connectors. Also, this shower doesn\u2019t need any tap since it is operated by a PLC. On the other hand, this is the best way to reduce my ecological footprint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019ve chosen a pump strong enough to produce an interesting pressure and flow although this is nothing comparable to a high pressure water gun. With the right pressure jet wash I can clean most of my motorbike or Mountain Bike before I load them into the van. In this way, I have something less to worry about when I\u2019m back home and I save some precious time to do something else. This comfort goes even further: If I don\u2019t need to unload my van for another purpose, this one is already all set for my next trip!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What about Electricity consumption?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/amenagement-SUV_DIOT-Julien_nettoyeur-basse-pression-12V_worldtour-outdoorexperience.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4592 size-thumbnail\" style=\"margin-right: 30px;\" src=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/amenagement-SUV_DIOT-Julien_nettoyeur-basse-pression-12V_worldtour-outdoorexperience-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"van design cleaning mtb\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/amenagement-SUV_DIOT-Julien_nettoyeur-basse-pression-12V_worldtour-outdoorexperience-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/amenagement-SUV_DIOT-Julien_nettoyeur-basse-pression-12V_worldtour-outdoorexperience-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/amenagement-SUV_DIOT-Julien_nettoyeur-basse-pression-12V_worldtour-outdoorexperience.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>When I made this van design, I wrote down my needs on a list. Building the simplest and tiniest van was the main thing, managing my electricity consumption was the second. My backpacker experience has taught me a lot about what matters and what doesn\u2019t. Consequently, including high consumption devices was a non-sense. The electric installation to produce this amount of energy isn\u2019t worth the cost. Indeed, getting another car battery, plugging a switch charger between all of them and lead their energy towards an inverter cost around 500\u20ac and 20kg for the cheapest installation. I prefer to shop everyday fresh products and store them in my cooler. I don&#8217;t use my van for trips longer than two weeks.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Instead I plugged all my electric installation onto my 12V 90aH car battery. This one supplies 12V DC components able to unleash 72W max when I need a lot of power for two minutes or as low as 4.5W to power LED light. With this configuration I\u2019m always able to start my car engine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My cooking and sleeping gear are the same I take with me when I go trekking. Indeed, these ones are already designed to be lightweight and compact when packed.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What do you thing about this Van design?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">May be my SUV layout can only take two people but at least, it does it perfectly!
