- Storage is the most important thing when it comes to camping. I have a new Van and I need more storage space! While this is a pretty simple project, there are some tips and ideas to think about.

Dudeee you are so so smart. Doing like so, building like a floor for the drawer will be much stronger and also I can, now, trace the drawer to my trunk.
Daaamn, I wish I could be that smart.
Thanks for sharing.
As someone who spent many years going camping with a husband whose packing style can only be described as 'chaotic' this gives me feelings of such peace and contentment just watching how neatly that went together.
for camping one must embrace the chaos! :)
I love the shot at the end, Smudo's expression says "Wow! How did you do that?" to me :D
You just helped me overcome my fear of drawer slides! I've never seen anyone build 'around' them and that's the smartest approach ever! Thanks you! This was very cool!
"Just get started-don't overthink it" It's so inspiring to hear those words coming from you Laura. Many of my best outcomes on projects came from that approach. (MOST, now that I think of it.) I'm a middle school science and engineering teacher with an after-school Maker Space where students can build whatever they want. The biggest obstacle for 100% of my students is perfection; they want so bad for everything to be perfect that it hinders their creativity. Your videos are perfect instructions on not just how to build something, but how to approach building something. Thank you Laura, as always, for the guidance and inspiration!
Thanks Nathan!
Laura, as someone else who's brain runs in overdrive 'designing' things and analyzing optimising systems (such as organisation), you might be a 'nerd", but it's not a bad thing at all :)
Ohhh that last shot of everything neatly fitting in perfectly was...... delicious!!!
A place for everything and everything in its place. So satisfying...❤️
Your stickers looks so stock on those crates! Also two systaniers fits one eurocrate is insane! So satisfying.
You can get your logo printed on them, so I'm assuming that's what she did. Looks super cool, like it was designed to be there.
Production value on point over here. Thank you Laura for sharing.
What an awesome idea to build after the slides are installed. I learn so much when I watch your videos. Thanks for sharing.
I live on a sailboat. I use a similar grid system. I leave the corners off the grids walls to make it easier to sweep the inevitable spill off the shelf. Love your videos.
How do you end up living on a sailboat that’s awesome
something I always wanted to do ... everything else after that is a detail@@cherrysIushie
I had exact same logic with my van. Ended with more or less the same solution. Packing is the key. No disturbing moves in the truck. Next step for me is the energy.
I do love a good modular design. So satisfying to watch the loaded platform slide home. Thanks for sharing!
You had me at 2 cases of beer …
Nicely done. The key is having bins on hand to make it all fit. And, as you mentioned... springing for the best slides. Cheap is never good and the good is never cheap. I missed the "LET GLUE DRY"... your signature thingie.
Love this tips and tricks style video! Another great van build out Laura!! 🙌
In the beginning I could not catch what will it turn out o be (well knew it was storage). And the end result was really great to see. So much storage in such a small space, very well thinking.
Thousands in tools, Your very fortunate. Enjoy this moment in life. Most do not have all that. Nice work by the way.
Awesome video! You take the old saying “ a place for everything, and everything in it’s place” to a very very cool level! Thanks for all of the hard work putting these together, they are great!
The most amazing part of this video was watching you freehand those straight lines. Impressive.
Laura the looks Smoudo was giving you at the end of the draw build said it all, he was hoping that you was making him his very own sleeping quarters and instead you filled it with storage bins!!! That four weeks camping trip is going to be a very unpleasant one for you by the looks on his face!!! Laura as always 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
No one at work understand the amount of time I spend in order to have everything organized. Your system is a paradise to my eyes!
Looks great. I like the modular aspect of it. I made my own runners for my van. The bought ones were crazy expensive for the weight and length I needed (over $1000 nz!). So I made them from square 20mm pipe and skate board bearings (got the idea from Pask) and it works so so well. Cost me $100 and can take 100’s of kg’s of weight
Would love to see it if you have any pictures/film from the build? I just found this video since I'm looking to to do the same in my motorohome and also realised how expensive the runners are :-D
that final slide was so satisfying !!
I like your QEK Camper Laura, it inspired me to build one. Thank you for your enthusiasm
Should've done this years ago in my van. Looks really good, the grid thing totally makes sense, and having two fixed spots for boxes as drawers is a really neat addon. Thanks for all that inspiration 🤩
3D Zarges-, Systainer- and breadbox -Tetris, spiced with occasional folding seats. I'd become a fan, wouldn't I already be one.
Only thing missing here (...yet 😂): The side panel section of the drawer that doubles as an extremly good looking, rocksolid surprise folding table .... .
Cheers and thanks for sharing!
so satisfying seeing it all store so efficiently! awesome job!
So satisfying to watch. It all fits just right, precise and wonderful work, Laura!
Amazing to watch. I'm the poster child for massive disorganization. This does give me ideas ....
Girl, you have some awesome skills and tools. Love Festool also. Only as good as your tools!
wow, this was so satisfying! Thanks for showing the process of making a storage system like this yourself.
I must confess I stopped watching TH-cam for a while now and started going through Laura withdrawal.lol.Im loving all your new stuff. Your awesome
Welcome back :)
Laura, you are an amazing person!!!! Love your video and this one just put a big BIG smile on my face!
You always come through with cool ideas, tips, and tricks. Thanks, Laura! Felix
Moin,was für ein „Werkzeugpark“,super Arbeit!-top👍..
Klasse. Vielen Dank. Du hast mir für mein Projekt wieder eine neue Sichtweise bzw. Idee gegeben.
All that perfectly neat and organized storage, with everything fitting so perfectly in its place, makes my soul happy. Smudo was excited for the trip too 😄
A girls after my own heart! 😍 I love organizing and organization stuff too!! Love your videos... It just popped up in my feed... And I'm. So glad too! 😊
I love how organized you are!
This German organization of stuff is pretty cool. I'm a happy messy person, but when you have limited space, you gotta make an extra effort and plan something cool. Congrats Laura!
Storage box heaven! love the organization system!
Laura great content and thank you for sharing.Life's better when you built stuff.
Perfect. Looks so cool and perfectly organized. Have a great trip !!
My weekly dose of wonderful creative building, I seriously love your videos, i learn so so so much. Thank you for the hard work 🥰🥰🥰
I LOVE that everything fit just perfect, visual pleasure, great job!
WAIT! What was that a stackable power supply/ first aid station thingy! Great video by the way! You were born an engineer!
Great video! I love seeing how to use every inch of a small space.
Wow...OK thats cool. I love how it all fits together!
Good thing the pup was there to supervise construction!
Laura....I love everything you do, as long as Smudo has someplace to sleep and live in the van!.......
Hey Laura, great video!! You had me (like) @ “Hello…everybody!”, to borrows cheesy line from “When Harry met Sally”. You are a great inspiration. Keep up the great work. Danke schön!
thankyou for sharing, this is exactly what I've been looking for to build for my Sprinter van, cheers
Great drawer build Laura, the angle drill attachment got some good use. Have a lovely time on your camping trip.
Very aesthetically pleasing!
Some epically common sense yet utterly smart decisions there... thank you, that really helps and inspires
Very cool! Love the crazy hair
As we said in my hospitality days ‘Mise en place’ 👌
La pasión con la que haces los trabajos ,es inspirador !!!
Thanks so much for this project, have been trying to work out how to do this in my truck now I have my inspiration 😎👍
I just discovered your channel and i like it, its amazing what a pair of skilled hands can do, and fact you are a girl it s even more cool
Timing is perfect for me. Thanks some good ideas. Have a great trip.
This was one o f the best van videos I’ve seen! Thanks for this!
Cool , nice feeling when it all closes in
The rails that sometimes come with servers are actually very useful for this!
THANK YOU FOR DETAIL VIDEO
Nice storage!! Hope there is a van tour on here 😊
Thank you for this sir. Very well organized
Dam Girl!!!
Super super organized...
Well done, i love it.
At the end of your videos, i feel like i should go right away to my garage to make something with my woods...
As you know, i see you as super hero, you have the hands of a goddess 😜😜😜
Laura kampf the "goddess woman", ladies and gentleman the newest world"s super hero 💪
Thanks for this video Laura
See ya soon i hope 😎
Awesome stuff, Laura! As always.
I love it! Everything's in perfect place, in order! 👍My dream! 😅
That is an insane amount of stuff that you fit in that space! I loved this build. Thanks for the video from Australia 🇦🇺
Very efficient use of space!
I like to build much the same. I get started with the base and i free style from there. Sometimes i go backwards to go forward again
Awesome videos, tutorials and ideas! Well made a very easy to watch and follow. Thank you! 🙏
That was fantastic!!!
So cool. I love vehicle mod videos. Cheers Laura and thanks for sharing- Happy Sunday :)
Brilliant! Great storage solutions! I've been looking at building out my own campervan from a panel Van for a few years now haven't got around to it and what with the last two years everything that's happened been going on, it's not really been an option so I've just been learning everything I can about ALL things Campervan related! This is about the best storage system I've seen for maximising space in the rear access/garage compartment as people like to call it..
Really great! And great information about the crates I never knew this before and am looking for a tool- storage solution for my many accumulated (and unorganised) tools aswell! Lol .. one that can be transferred from a shed/small workshop into to a van if needs be pretty easily, so that's another project that has been on back burner! So this will REALLY help with that! ...Thanks for another great Inspirational video Laura! 👍❤️😎🏴
Germany always has smart stuff. All those slides and crates are specialty items in the US where we have to steal old worn out milk crates from the back of stores as they're not for sale anywhere. The closest thing the US has are 5 gallon buckets.
Very cool Projekt 👍
And there is nothing better and cooler than Zarges or Zarges like Alu boxes.
That totally made my neatness ocd tingle in a good way!
Wow! You have MAD skills! I love this design. Having the drawer base on top of the slides instead of attaching them to the sides of the drawers! My head just exploded!!! I like to think I am pretty clever at this kind of stuff, but I was never going to think of that. Exactly the idea I need. Glad I decided to watch "just one more". You have a new subscriber!
Very satisfying. Nice!
Soooo knolled. Looks amazing!
just beautiful
Clean, simple, and useful. Well done!
Thank you Laura I managed to get those Pica pens black, blue and a red one was able to find them at Total Tools Eliz. S.A.
Soooo satisfying
That looks awesome. !
Always amazing!
Love it! Just finishing off the drawer/fridge/etc. system for the back of my T6. If I may one other bit of advise for van drawer builders - watch your weight! These type of drawer slides are vital and oh so practical but they, and birch ply, weigh a massive amount so if you've only got a small payload, think carefully about materials. Great video Laura, thanks :)
Nice job, Laura! If the core of your assembly was something I could buy in the store, I'd get it in a heartbeat.
Excellent work. Thanks for sharing.
I love organizing too❤️
Love the eurocrate concept. I custom built my closets to the dimensions of the boxes that reams of paper come in, so that way I could keep off season clothes in these sturdy lidded cardboard boxes and they'd all fit perfectly. At the time I had an unlimited free supply of these boxes because both my partner and I were working in offices that used tons of paper. Since that time we have moved to remote paperless jobs so finding replacement boxes is slightly more difficult.
Wow, so accurate! Please do more van-stuff videos ❤️
That is so so so cool! 👌🏻
Nicely done! Good job 😊
Lovely job; I wish I had that van.
