Having said that, you might be wondering how many friends can I bring along on my trip? Planning is the most important thing if you want to make your travel enjoyable and comfortable. Let’s find out more about Camper vans.

How Many People Should You Bring Along in Your Trip?

If you do not have a good setup in your camper van, fitting friends or family members can be a hectic experience. Many camper vans can fit two people comfortably, but this usually depends on the size of your van and how you design its interior.

Suppose you plan to carry other things such as coolers and storage containers. You might not have too much space left for sleeping. Each person in your camper van should at least have a space of 2.5 feet wide by 5.5 feet, and you will still need some space to move around in the van. 

You can always build bed frames, which is a better choice, but it is not a budget-friendly option for many campers. Instead, you can get air mattresses for sleeping. If you choose and design your campervan carefully, it can fit up to 4 people.

What to Consider Before Travelling In your Camper van

    It can get pretty hot in an enclosed space so there is a limit. On the other hand there’s a lot of fun in taking a child with you sometimes.

    Many happy memories sleeping over in a camper van but, unless one is a child or very short adult, two is really your limit!
