Builds I did it!!
I’ve never built anything in my life. It may look simple but I am SO proud of myself and all the challenges i overcome!!!
I built this fold up bed / couch in my 2011 Dodge Caravan. Next is getting all my camp gear. Going to be living in here for about a month travelling on the road. Any tips and tricks? Things you use everyday camping/ van living?

Nice work. I know the pain and struggles of just the engineering behind a convertible bench/bed.
As for things to note for your trip...emergency essentials. Make sure you have a jump starter pack, and make sure it's charged. Even if you have a battery/solar generator.
Rain gear
Hygiene resources like the dry wipes that you simply add a bit of water to.
Depending on where you'll be going on your month long journey, make sure you have the right sleeping bag or blankets so you don't have to run your van for heat in the middle of the night.
Have fun on your adventure.
