We recently bought a 2013 Ford Transit Connect and converted it into a micro camper van. We often get asked, "Can two people fit in a Ford Transit Connect Camper Van?" and "What is the bed size?" as well as "How does a tall person fit?" With Mike being over 6ft tall it is understandable that we get asked these type of questions considering the small size of our van!
In this video we answer these questions, show how our bed works and how we BOTH fit in the van. We explain our slat bed build design as well as our bench and demonstrate how it converts from a bench to a bed. We also show how we built a bed that allows us to have extra bed space!
We hope this helps! Thank you for watching!
