Clever camper-van tricks? (self.diy)

Hey there, I hope question posts are okay. My fiancé and I are planning to turn our Dacia Dokker into this sorta mini camper amalgamation. Do any of you have experience with this sort of endeavor and can offer tricks or insightful knowledge?

Edit: I should add that it's supposed to be modular. So luckily (or unfortunately?) I don't need help on how to permanently fix furniture onto the car frame.

Did something similar on a Dacia Logan VAN (2009) model. I wrote some details (article is in Romanian) and posted some pics.

Thank you! I'll give it a look and see what I can take from it for us.

Well, a Dokker doesn't have a lot of space, so if it were me I'd go with making a sleepable flat surface, curtains for privacy, and call it a day. Use it a couple of times and then work out what you really need to take with you because everyone's needs vary!

One tip is to pitch a tent or have a roof rack to put all your stuff in/on while you're sleeping in the warm/ dry /cosy van.

Thanks! We do have a roof rack and are looking to buy one of these roof-suitcases to store our "we wanna take it with us, but it's fine if we can't easily access it (for example during rain)" things.
