The Plans For The Self Build Camper - Drawing The Blueprints

Building this camper is a custom build. Plans for different caravans around the world exist, but they all had their own style, things that didn't really fit in with how I wanted things to be. 

So building on the idea of a rectangle with curved edges, this very very crude blue print was drawn up:

Yep, in the same way the VW Transporter was drawn on the back of a napkin, the camper was born. Even starting with this simple floor plan, you could really see how things were going to come together. The simple idea of having quarter circles for the corners attached on to the end of the frame would narrow the problems that could be encountered in the future because at the end of the day, it was nothing more that a collection of shapes being put together to make the final design.

This was a simple aspect of the design that a lot of early designs had. Due to the limitations that were often in place for the pressing of steel formations and the need to replicate quickly, early designs were often simple.
