Couple Convert their Minivan into a DIY Micro Motorhome


This post contains affiliate links.

This couple decided to turn their current minivan into a DIY micro motorhome and they nicknamed it Red Delicious.

On the outside, it looks like a standard burgundy van, but when you take a look inside, you’ll find it’s much more than just a minivan.

Inside, the back seats have been removed to make way for a bed-for-two, and a simple milk crate storage system in the back of the van. Need an awning? They created one from a tarp and poles. A table, set of chairs, and gas burners tuck into the van during transport and can be pulled out for sitting and eating when they get to a campsite. They even have blinds to cover the windows for privacy and blocking out light.

Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!

    Similar to the tear drop style of camping—is this accepted at regular camp grounds? I would add one of the tall pop-up “tents” and a bucket toilet–you just never know when you are going to NEED one of these. And the “awning” could be solved with a more sturdy pop up also; these are avail at Walmart etc for around 80$ and have much better canvas and legs. Fold into about a 6×6 inch square. If I can fit one in my tow BEHIND the motorcycle trailer–you can fit one in or on the van!

    I’m currently converting my vehicle, thanks for the ideas! Especially the curtains (I was stumped on how I would do that)

    Quite impressive!! I noticed that at the back, there were several vacate spots to put even more items! Wow! Who would have thought you can deck out a MINI van this way?

    Wow, thanks for featuring our van! We love traveling in it. We’re always thinking about ways to improve our setup, but so far this is working great. Cheers, Tamara and Chris
