Building a Bench Seat WITH STORAGE for our DIY Van Conversion | Crafter Van Build | 23 |

We're tackling the bench seat this week, and we've gone for a more complicated L-shaped corner design with lift top storage. We start by building out the frame and the lift top before attaching it all together into a beautiful finished bench seat. There are also 12v power sockets (USBs & cigarette lighters) installed on each side of the seating, plus a side cupboard for extra storage space. We're super happy with how it looks and can't wait to sit on it for real on our vanlife travels soon!
--------- About Us -----------
We're Alex & Ayesha (AKA MountainAdvantures) and together we're building an off grid camper van to tour Europe and maybe further afield! We're complete beginners at DIY and van conversions so follow along to see all the mistakes and the good times as we convert our trusty VW Crafter, Wilson, into our own off-grid tiny home on wheels and head off on a vanlife adventure.
Stay tuned for the future where we hope to take Wilson with us on some snowy adventures in lots of remote places around the world. We enjoy skiing, ice climbing, mountaineering, rock climbing and walking to name a few so there are plenty of adventures on the horizon.

Love those handles!

[@Chobie]

Looks good you nerds! I assume there will be cushions to sit on for when I visit?

There'll definitely be cushions added at some point! It's not the most comfortable at the moment haha
