It takes me just 10 minutes to transform my work van into a fully kitted-out camper thanks to £20 Ikea find
ONE man with a van can quickly turn his work vehicle into a campervan and get out exploring the world sooner.
Motorist and traveler Stephen Reid has revealed in a TikTok video how he can convert his work van into a camper in just 10 minutes.
The 38-second TikTok video was posted by Stephen, who also posts his own YouTube videos about his outdoor adventures.
In the video, Stephen shows how he quickly makes the conversion and can fit all the things he needs for his holiday.
Firstly, he installs a custom-built bed made of railing from Ikea and plywood.
He then places a mattress, sheets, and quilting onto the plywood, making himself a bed, which can also be a couch.
Stephen then is able to add all the storage units he needs for his clothing, including a porta potty underneath the bed.
With the size of the van he also has enough room to store food and can even fit a small portable power station, an E-bike and a paddleboard.
Commenters were interested in what shelving Stephen had used inside the van.
“Can u plz show the other side of the van what kind of shelves,” said one commenter.
“Thanks u have a to of great ideas we r starting one and want to use it for work as well,” said another.
“Thanks Stephen, turns out hubby is an avid viewer of ur YT channel. so for 1st time ever he is keen to go to Ikea. so thanks for that too,” said a third.
Stephen says he holds the bed up with Ikea shelving, which only costs £20 – the SKORVA midbeam, galvanised.
Meanwhile, one man has taken camping to the next level by building a homemade mini campervan that he can cook in.
Camper and YouTuber, Jason, or Quiet Nerd, has revealed his homemade mini camper which even has an electric blanket.
The camper is made of motorised planks of wood covered by a yellow tarpaulin and clear plastic across the front.
