Van Tour | ‘Moser Makes’ Ford Transit Camper Van Conversion

February 10, 2021 / / 0 Comments

This is the full tour of my Ford Transit cargo van that Moser converted into a camper/tiny home on wheels!

Things / Ideas I took away from this:

  • Like the rough layout design – Kitchen, ‘general area’, bed
  • Don’t like the kitchen taking up so much space
  • I’d prefer a ‘windowed’ bulkhead instead of doors. Seems wasted space
  • Like the cooler under the bench idea
  • Like the composting toilet idea
  • Love the sliding table, but would rather enjoy the option for additional bed
  • Door for charging is cool
  • Like the bed lighting ideas
  • Like the insert areas for the bed space
  • Unsure about the space for the cabinets above the bed

Building a sliding bulkhead for the stealth off grid camper

February 6, 2021 / / 1 Comment

I’ve been looking for alternative and interesting ideas for a van conversion, and I think a stealth sliding bulkhead, is exactly what I am looking for. Especially as the space in my van is more compact than many converted, I want to ensure as many great ideas are included to maximum light, storage and functionality.

I’m also concerned about security. So the fewer windows needed the better in my conversion.
