DIY Camper Van Full Video Tour (Family of 7!)

Have you even wondered exactly how we fit seven people into our camper van? What our camping trips actually look like? What my voice sounds like and how fast I can talk? Well today is your lucky day!

When we went to visit Marengo Caves last summer, I put together a quick video tour of the whole set-up in action. So wonder no more. I'll show you where everyone sleeps, where we eat, our rainy-day plan, what we do with car seats, and so much more.

 

Enjoy the tour and let me know if you have any questions!

 


 Are you more impressed by how many people we fit in there or how fast I talk when I'm filming?

Want to turn your own van into a camper? Here are the tutorials for all everything we made:

Those posts are full of information and photos, but here are a couple angles I don't think I've ever shared before:

Magnetic screens moved to the back doors (we can also only open one door and put up a single screen like the first photo in this post).

We couldn't do it without that handy screen tent that acts as our outdoor kitchen!

Georgia for scale. Plenty of room to sit up (the ceiling is lowest right at the back door but it's several inches higher above the bed).

I peeked in the side door to see if this guy was awake yet and found him tucked up in our bed watching everyone make breakfast out the window.

Random and super zoomed-in/low quality photo my husband took of us, but we me the nicest couple by Marengo Caves who had converted this little cargo trailer into the sweetest little camper. They gave me a tour and tons of tips and I'm dying to give it a try. Is this the next step after a camper van??

Where should we camp next??

    I've been using a camp stretcher for years, and I swear by it for a good night's sleep in the great outdoors. What I love most is that it elevates me off the cold, hard ground, providing both insulation and comfort. Plus, it's incredibly durable and has withstood some pretty rugged conditions. Even on uneven terrain, the camp stretcher levels things out for a smooth sleeping surface. It's become an essential part of my camping gear, and I wouldn't dream of going camping without it!

    I recently got my hands on the Evans & Hall's Outdoor Tent and it's been a game-changer for my camping adventures! The setup was a breeze, and the durable materials held up impressively against unexpected weather changes. Not to mention, the spacious design allowed for comfortable movement and storage. The ventilation system worked flawlessly, keeping the interior fresh and breathable even during warmer nights. I can't wait for my next camping trip with this fantastic tent! Great outdoor tents
