Building a camper in a Ford Transit L2H2

This van is 1.784 mm wide, which is 116 mm short of sleeping across it if you are 1.80 m. That is the single most important thing to know about this model: a transverse bed physically fits, but you will not lie stretched out. For a fixed bed here you want the slide-out or the lengthwise bed — those sleep along the van and reach 2.050 mm whatever the width.

Of the ten layouts we have costed, 6 fit this model with room to spare. The fullest is the Transverse bed with seating: it leaves 684 mm of aisle and weighs 173 kg, leaving you 832 kg of payload for water, batteries, bikes and yourself.

Between the wheel arches it is 1.392 mm. That number matters more than the load width, because everything that runs along the floor — a bed, a bench, a run of cupboards — has to pass it or clear it. That is why our frames stand on adjustable feet and not on a continuous plinth.

What this van brings

  • Standing height: 1.886 mm

What to watch out for

  • Too narrow to sleep across: 116 mm short
  • Dimensions from the manufacturer, not measured by us

These dimensions come from the manufacturer and have not been measured by us yet. Manufacturers measure differently; expect a deviation of 30 to 50 mm and measure your own van before ordering.
