After a few weeks, looking for an other van I am not too excited about what I see. But lets start with my own van a 23 year old VW T4 with a very open and grey smooth interior.It is functional, it has nice shapes and smart designed solutions.With a few own colorful detail you can make it your own home.
But…………… when we think of traveling for a year. And belief me, we have the wildest ideas where to go. We need a younger van. And a little bit more space. But ooh boy most bus campers have interiors that are so out of date. All those wooden cupboards. Or sooo shiny kind of over the top Italian design. It doesn't feel like home at all to us. And that is what it is it is : Our car,our home, office and atelier.
Why have most campers these days a bed you can not change into seats.
I get it that older people want that because it is too much work.
But for people who are fit enough I think more space to sit, work on your laptop or what ever you like to do is very welcome. Now it looks like most of your space is filled with something you can only use for sleeping.
Then the construction of the little sofa, most campers have these days. It is so upwards you can't sit comfortable on it. I tried it. So dear camper designers I guess there is a whole new generation camper users on the way. With other wishes. Who combine traveling and working.
We use are van all year in sun and while it is freezing. We like a dinner you can transform in a bed, a small closet where we can hang cloth because we also have to bring work outfits. We like a nice basic design that is easy to clean and clever designed.
Solar panels on the roof and being as self supporting as possible is a must.
I am curious if we will find where we are looking for and other wise we might start the process of designing our own. What also sounds good.
