I just ran across this photo on The Samba. The caption simply says, “John’s custom interior.” This is such a fantastic idea I’m wondering why no one else has thought of it. He created custom slide out storage for the kitchen just behind the driver’s seat. This custom slider holds a burner set up top, and storage below. Awesome!
I can’t tell exactly what is going on with this Vanagon’s floor. It looks standard unfinished plywood just jammed in there. Could that be it? I suppose it works, but I would stain it for protection. Interesting choice.
I’ve seen this Vanagon online for quite awhile now, but I never noticed the outdoor shower hookups. Awesome! They nestled the hookup right next to all the other ports on the outside of the van. If you didn’t know any better you’d have to say it looks stock. Apparently this van was listed on eBay for $70,000. Yikes.
Here is a neat idea. CampervanCulture.com sells an upper bed guard for the Westfalia. It helps keep your stuff from falling off the bed and can help keep young children safe too. It requires that your van have certain slots already available so be sure to read the details. Head on over to their website for more info and ordering details.
If you have a passenger Vanagon, but need a camper, you can certainly use creativity to accomplish what you want. This guy decided to customize his interior using a custom bed and plastic drawers. The bed flips up to provide lots of storage, and plastic drawers fill out the rest of his storage needs. Click through to see the interior up close.
This interior idea comes courtesy of mobmasker.com. The owner removed the refrigerator and opted for a top loading Dometic fridge that sits behind the passenger seat. This allowed them to create a large drawer under the stovetop. Nice job!
This van is spectacular, but it wasn’t always that way. tim9768 on Tumblr built this thing from the ground up and his work is impressive. Click through to see exactly what he did. You can also see a “before” pic.
You don’t have to have a camper to camp in a Vanagon. YouTube user, Kirt Fitzpatrick, built his own custom doorway kitchen, in a non-camper, complete with a stove, water sprayer, swing-out table, and drawers. The build looks great and his video is oddly interesting. He does a complete cooking demo and shows you how he uses his kitchen while camping. Check it out.
We purchased the GoWesty Auxiliary Battery Kit back in 2007 and were very excited to have a house battery that would run all of our gadgets without draining the starting battery. The installation was easy, but the kit never lived up to its promise. We were going through batteries so often and couldn’t figure out why. We eventually discovered the kit was severely underpowered and designed poorly. GoWesty has since improved the kit with a larger solenoid, but the wire they use is still small so we opted for something a little better. Click through to see what we did.
