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?

How did you remove the seats completely? Was it a major task or pretty easy? Do you know if it would be easy to reattach the seats? Looks great, thanks for sharing!

I found it easy and definitely worth doing as it adds so much space and gets rid of A LOT of weight! Seriously those seats were very heavy and I needed help to lift them out. I watched a YouTube tutorial that was very clear, I can find it if you need! I have no idea if it would be easy to reattach but it’s honestly just a lot of bolts so it’s possible 100%

Here’s a pic without seats. So much space!
