Campervan fit-out using Bunnings materia...

crylee121

single. No money. So fitted out my whole van from Forbes Bunnings off cut box . Only cost was fittings and screws , glue. Total cost of whole project , minus bedding etc about $150. . Now traveled Australia near and far. Having great fun with my dog . Works perfectly . Use a canister gas stove , and now frying pan, for cooking when not on power. Have an 12 volt rechargeable shower head and collapsing bucket for shower. A rubber Bunnings’s mat on ground . I put a curtain between my two back doors for shower . Also have a Bunnings DVD player and small TV when a reception available. Couldn’t afford a professional fit out , so I did this myself as I found suitable off cuts to add in more. Oh and paint used was a “wrong” mix paint

Materials

scrap/ off cuts from off cut box. ( free) hinges, latches, screws, nails glue . I used my very old trusty Makita tools

Tools

Steps

Step 1

Raid the off cut box every time I went to Bunnings in Forbes. Started with a “ box “ type set up for the bed. Then added a “box” which slides out , lift up lid in front of original box and a cupboard to make bed bigger ( queen) and add more storage , white board off cuts and chip board off cuts used, and or cover boards, hinges , screws, latches, only things I needed to buy .added on more cupboards as I found suitable off cuts. Now have “ kitchen “ cupboard and a cupboard over battery box. Fold up table made from off cuts used and old fold up stool. Battery box also acts as a seat . Love it all. Oh and my trusty old Makita tools.

Step 2

filled in the step area on drivers side for more storage and it provides a space for folding table and chairs. Bungie straps very handy

Step 3

my “ seat “ when raining , toiletries cupboard over battery box also . I have tried to keep floor space at max as I use this van also for my farm shopping , it’s my only vehicle .

Step 4

happy dog also. Plenty of room for her

Hi @crylee121,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

This campervan fit-out is such an inspiring, resourceful and down-to-earth project. You’ve turned limited resources into something truly functional and personal. Using mostly off-cuts from the Forbes Bunnings off-cut box – and only spending around $150 on fittings, screws, and glue – is a brilliant way to prove that great results don’t need a big budget.

I hope you continue to enjoy the freedom your campervan affords both you and your furry friend.

Thank you for sharing.

Jacob
