I'm planning a camper van build.
My particular interest is winter camping. Everything must be accessible with the doors closed.
I am curious what other experience with some "lessons learned." After all; Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.
If you build or bought your camper what are things that that you would do again and what would you change.
Ergonomics?
Below is a list of what i Think are good ideas.
I'm thinking of using the Westy Layout or similar. Want a top opening fridge Probably behind the drivers seat. Creating a corral work area.
Poptops: Wedge or Rectangular?
Where does everyone sit when cooking? Is a removable stool a good idea.
Why is no one using roll top (Tambour Doors)? They would take no space to open.
Are Over head compartments head knockers? What if they were made of soft coolers?
Stock Bench Seat / bed or Custom Folding Frame and foam? I need seat belts.
What about a seat / bed with a cargo net back?
Coolant/ Hot water heat exchanger? 1 gal capacity mixed with cold at the faucet. or Electric Kettle? (most of my cooking begins with boiling water, Why not get a head start.)
Solutions for keeping drinking water from freezing in the winter?
Best removable Table solution? Swinging? Folding?
Coat Rack for wet coats?
Mr Buddy heater? Mounted where? Add Fan?
Hidden / secured cubby for valuables?
Roof Fan Mounter over bed or kitchen???
Sound Insulation?
Reducing Rattles?
Temperature Insulation?
Cargo Net Overhead Storage?
How to make window covers for stealth camping? Where to store them?
Compressed air instead of a water pump?
Foot pump water pump?
Plumb Cold water Spigot to front seat for filling water bottles on the go?
Boot Heater / Drier?
