Tern

A first van for weekends away, with a bed that stays made.

Inside a compact camper van: a short birch ply galley by the door and a made double bed across the rear.

Ines had a small van and a short list. She was tired of building a bed every night and unpacking it every morning.

So the bed is fixed across the back, with a deep storage garage beneath it for boots, a folding table and a box of tins. The kitchen runs down the sliding-door side in one piece of birch ply, oiled twice so it takes a coffee ring.

She sent us a photo from her first trip with the table out and the door open. The bed was still made.
