Seating &
Sleeping
Course one - Build a bespoke seating & bed unit.
This Autumn we are running the first of our in-person courses. Learn to design & build elements of your campervan in a professional setting.
We are excited to launch these in person courses to provide you with the knowledge, tools and dedicated workshop for the perfect learning experience. Regardless of skill level, this course will improve your hand building skills, knowledge of design, safe use of tools and machinery, construction, selection of materials and finishing.
Starting with a deep dive into seating & sleeping area of your campervan.
At the end of this course you will have built a complete seating & bed area for the vehicle/space of your choice. Based on our popular ‘L shape’ seating area, with pull-out section. Transforming the unit into a large bed for two adults.
Built using maple faced lightweight plywood, high quality fixings and a ton of good vibes. Not only a great value way to kit out (or upgrade) your campervan, but also an opportunity to learn new skills and develop confidence for the rest of your build.
