I had measured the floor area when we had the initial viewing. So I started on a floor plan. It was a tight squeeze, but I thought that we had enough room for everything.<\/p>\n<p>An early design decision was about the bed. At first I&#8217;d hoped to have it going across the van, to free up more space in front. But it soon became clear that there wasn&#8217;t enough width higher up. There was just about at floor level, but the van sides slope in. This feature was to prove problematic later!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justheaven.org.uk\/camper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/planning-book.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.justheaven.org.uk\/camper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/planning-book.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.justheaven.org.uk\/camper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/planning-book-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.justheaven.org.uk\/camper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/planning-book-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.justheaven.org.uk\/camper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/planning-book-250x188.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Rough sketches and calculations <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justheaven.org.uk\/camper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/planning-chart.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.justheaven.org.uk\/camper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/planning-chart.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.justheaven.org.uk\/camper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/planning-chart-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.justheaven.org.uk\/camper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/planning-chart-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.justheaven.org.uk\/camper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/planning-chart-250x188.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Chart on my workshop wall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We started a certain amount of outline planning before we found a vehicle.
