Sunday Nov 24 - Early morning and late evening #2! The Campervan Layout to sleep 5 people

So I was awoken by something about 5am and ended up not being able to sleep due to continued thoughts about Annie.

• How will the layout work
• What seats shall I get
• What will run off 12v
• What will run off mains
• Where will the kids sleep

etc etc....

So I wrote a list over breakfast and started answering some questions when I got home from work tonight.

I've sourced some brand new minibus seats for the front and also the main vehicle.  So the wife, baby and two other daughters will have somewhere to sit once I collect those later this week.  Importantly they have seat-belts built in and once fixed to the chassis will create a nice safe place for the kids to travel.

The seats in the rear will need to be utilised as bed space but we'll sort that once they are in.

I've spent this evening (no tape measure yet) just trying to work on a layout.  very similar to that off of George Clarke's Amazing Spaces http://bluemooncamper.blogspot.co.uk/.  Although our beast is not as cute as theirs I think we will have more space.  So adopting that layout with a longer kitchen for more storage and an extra storage area should be possible.  I hope. 

I'll only really know when I get the seats, bolt them in and then start drawing on the floor.  But!!!  the images below show my floor-plan and my wall plans.  

Right now, it's time to get on eBay, buy some interior LED strips, a hook up, waterproof power outlet connector and a plug converter so I can power Annie up on the drive.  She will be my workshop soon and lit up at night my wife will know where to find me and my power tools.
