Van Chair bench storage box things pt2


Chairs temporarily installed while I measure up segmentation of the divider wall that sits under the bed and walls off the *garage* of the van.

The chairs look a bit goofy with their short-width in the image, but as soon as you get inside the van and try to move around and sit down/get up etc...you go "ohhh yeah...this is the right design for these..." as it opens up the walkway to get into the van, and the scramble-spot where you get onto the bed. It absolutely feels right.

Van Chair bench storage box things.


Misc photos of the van chair build, very basic boxes, not designed for two across, loosely based on the sitting dimensions of some bench chairs dad has at his picnic table. Storage space underneath each. Back rests are made from a junk pallet I tore down from work. Floor mounting is via angle brackets made from slices of regular angle iron and riv-nut bolted through the floor to the body of the van. Misc goofiness and compromises here and there to make them fit in the van. No photos of installation as I need them out for the time being. Final bed-wall build is all that's needed to finish construction, and then I move to some light upholstery before this project is ready-for-sale.

Camp testing at the Grampians


Some misc van camp testing at the Grampians. Some cats, and some toadstools in dad's yard.
