Camper Van Conversion Ep.1 - Bed, Couch and Cargo

This is a miniseries about me converting my van into a camper.
BUT i need to be able to transport things so everything has to be very functional and removable...also i didn´t want to spend too much time and money on this build. so here is my solution for the bedframe.
In the next video i am going to build a little cooking area.

I love your quiet yet clear way of showing dimensions for things. A piece of tape can go a long way.

[@nicolek4076]

I love the way the solid part of the bed base folds over to make the base of a cargo area.

[@WesleyTreat]

Ahhhh, smart solution to the bed slats! Very cunning.

[@rosswaring2835]

Your videos are such a chill out...I don’t need a hammock! I love your style Laura! ❤️

[@CrownMountainWoodworks]

Always fun going on these adventures with you.

[@matlennon1412]

I love these multi part series that show how your unique design tastes come together love it

[@Makebuildmodify]

That's a very clever design Laura. Your van makes me think of when I was just out of high school. I wanted to move out of my parents home so badly and all I really wanted was a cargo van to live in.

[@awesomearizona-dino]

Hi Laura, Great work and design...I noticed your willing to use angle brackets where many woodworkers refuse. I am happy to see it. a small amout of steel in the right places add plenty of strength.

[@martshal]

Outstanding. Your vids are always like zen meditations for me Laura.

[@sugarpuff2978]

We don't have a camper but when we've been camping before we've had to put the dog in the car first and then pack the car all around her ensuring that she can get out easily enough for a toilet break! We have two dogs now and haven't taken the other one camping yet but we'll have to find someway to squeeze him in too! Maybe I'll just leave my husband out to make some room ;)

[@joshwiley881]

I like how the tape helps tell the story.

[@rajincajingt]

Love the design and the creativity

[@josepherwin8709]

The elegant simplicity of this build is just vantastic! I can see you going around Europe doing all the Maker/Craft events and saving a huge pile of money not paying for hotels, aside from the odd trip out into the countryside just to get out of the city. Beautifully done!

[@Ollaris]

Love it! The Gloria Tells song fits the mood of freedom/camping very well! Looks like you figured out the lighting situation in the shop as well!

[@Badgerworkshop]

I like how you can still use it as a van when needed.

[@productionmastrr]

There’s no amount of videos you could ever put out that’d be enough to satisfy watching you work. I already couldn’t wait for what’s next as soon as I started watching this!

[@curbstalker6577]

A slate bed that rolls up and has multiple uses!!! FANTASTIC!

[@ryanonthirdearth]

These style of videos you produce are by far my favorite. They are like meditation for me. Your choice of music and videography are a soothing drug I can’t get enough of.

[@mathisox]

Very clever and functional! Welcome to the campervan Community! :)

[@jmakes3745]

Really, really clever and inventive use of form and multi-functionality Laura, shows how effective a good design can be at utilising space efficient & effectively! One thing I think that would make it even better is if you had the left hand side section which protrudes outwards on some sort of removable fixing. That way you could spin it in front of you to make a table, whilst also having the full width of the couch to sit on!

[@barstad-9591]

Your creativity is inspiring!

[@handmadeisbetter]

Und wieder ein hervorragendes Laura Kampf Video!

[@misterbojangles6205]

Great music choices Laura, GREAT !

[@hignaki]

A glorious, classic LK video!

[@GregoryWeirauch]

As always, good job, great project. Very clever use of structure that folds away. Your stuff is always so well thought out. Dreamgirl!

[@daddynutz024]

Very nice project. Love the hammock in the shop. great way to think.

[@jamesharvey4817]

Absolutely wonderful; "You go Girl!"

[@aniket.khade27]

I love your series build videos. I like the way you innovate and plan. Good job.

[@JolienBrebels]

Another great serie!

[@kellilandry3207]

Very cool! The hot nail through the webbing material = awesome and why have I never thought of that!!?? Love the Make with Miles tee also!

[@Pappy_R]

Tiny house, small camper, huge shop, that's a great plan Laura! Thanks for another kool video!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Very clever design! Also, I need to paint more things so I can wait for it to dry.. The workshop looks great :D

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

That's so awesome! Nice trick with the nail and strap too!

[@MakerMaddox]

I really love the look of your new shop. There's just so much to look at in every nook and cranny!

[@blackthornhealing]

Love the bed. Great ideas

[@gordvan]

Again, fantastic project. But please for your health, think about a shopvac for your track saw. It makes such a difference in a clean breathable shop environment.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Another series of builds! Count me in!

[@StamosTee]

Wow!!! Thats really cool!!! Great design!

[@BrothersMake]

Really clever design and I like all the different uses. Hope you get a ton of use from it! Can’t wait to see what’s coming next 👍🏼👍🏼

[@lindzee924]

Smooth operation. Nice work.

[@FigmentsMade]

Yay new mini-series! Beautiful video as always! I love the heated nail through the straps idea. You've already transformed the van so much I can't begin to imagine what else you're going to do with it but I can't wait to see the cooking area! You're really making me want to do this too.

[@indiopeltier9758]

Your channel Rules hard, Your a Badass. Thanks for sharing.

[@PhilVandelay]

I think the natural light looks awesome in your new videos. This had a nice summer vibe to it. I also had exactly the same plan if I ever have enough cash to get a van...

[@ltsisavif]

Me gusta mucho todo lo que creas. Eres excelente. Saludos desde Guadalajara, México.

[@toolsconsumables7055]

Very simple but ingenious. Kind regards.

[@Xlaxsauce]

Taught me something new about the making holes through the strapping thanks. Mine always ended up fraying and tearing due to the way I did it.

[@sparkyprojects]

Great multifunction Just a tip, when you use a core drill (or a flat bit), drill form both sides to prevent blowout, i usually drill most of the way from one side, then finish on the other, ;)

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

So cool. I need a crane in my shop. You know, for stuff.

[@laurakampf]

yeah. i know :)

[@Ollaris]

The Redsmith me too. Uhmm , at first I need some headspace than a crane where I can hang my hammock.

[@TreGODTv]

Incredible design

[@DouglasLambert]

I was tricked into this video by the cute dog on the thumb. Nice job!

[@jemegra1]

Your work is really good !!! Congrats !!!

[@RussGetsIt]

The logo on the van is looking damn good. If you add a pop top you can sleep 4!

[@jessesantana8408]

Awesome project! All I could do was smile when I saw you playing with the crane again.

[@mich6766]

Comme d'habitude superbe vidéo Bravo !!!!

[@BergflitzerFoto]

Mal wieder eine großartige Idee und eine Topleistung 👍👍👍👍👍🤗

[@CarlosMoraisBR]

Simples e funcional muito bom.

[@pgoessnitzer]

As always I love your videos. I think your presentations are top and to the point, yet super nicely put together. Can't wait for the next flick :)

[@helidude3502]

This one of the best keep the useful ideas that I have seen yet.

[@JMTosses]

[@alejandrotijerina5655]

Talento y amor a tu trabajo eres grande saludos desde mexico pendiente a tus videos

[@limgoReisenundmehr]

Cooler Ausbau - Danke für den Einblick 🙂

[@saeidmomtahan]

Just love it!

[@mcorrade]

Laura I have to tell you it's a pleasure watching you work. Putting the great production values aside, just the manner in which you approach your projects is just so smooth and pleasant to watch. Thanks for these videos :-}

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

I like the idea of the webbed wooden slats to make the bed. It's something I've never seen before. It made me think of a roll top desk. What if the slats could be on a track system where they could be rolled to become the floor..or rolled up to become the ceiling? I like people that make me think.

[@garagemonkeysan]

I don't just watch your videos, I study them. You're such a great film maker! : )

[@TheMakerMonster]

Super excited to see how this project goes!

[@BelindaTOV]

Thanks for sharing, very creative ideas.

[@giovannipetitti1588]

Great Laura 😘😘😘😘😘😘 from Italy

Great design. I think we painted our house that blue.

[@alibronx2112]

Love it! Great space managing solution too

[@posko76]

Clever design!

[@XCreator]

“Home car” good idea👍👍👍

[@dangittbobby]

Love your videos

[@roderikvanderkelen]

I need a VW van now... Great idea!

[@dvdspndl]

Very fun to watch video and creative use of space. I love your videos. :)

[@meatebutouy]

PS zu einem begeisterten 1. Kommentar: Es ist laaaaaaaange her - und ich kann mich gar nicht konkret erinnern - das ich ein "Bastel"video am Stück gesehen habe ohne vorzuspulen, weil es mir um Imput geht und nicht um Unterhaltung oder Zeitverschwendung. Du bietest nach meinem Geschmack im pos. Sinne Druckbetankung für mein Hirn und das mit einer sehr schönen/angenehmen Atmosphäre = unterhaltend. Super!!! Und ich bin kein Singlemann, der sich in die Darstellerin verliebt hat. ;-)

[@adamjohnson5307]

Oh my god. I just watched two of your videos and I’m so inspired by you already. Your style of building, videography, choice or music...it blends so well. 👌🏾👌🏾 I subscribed.

[@Dopefish76]

This is so dope! Makes me want a van now 😝
