Fixed Bed vs Lounge
// THE LAYOUT DILEMMA

REST
OR
ROOM?

It is the biggest decision in any large van build. Do you want the convenience of a fixed bed and a massive garage, or the spacious feel of a rear lounge?

The Fixed Bed

The modern van life favorite. By building the bed high, you create a massive 'garage' for bikes, water tanks, and batteries.

Zero daily setup
Maximum storage volume
Interior can feel cramped

U-Shape Lounge

The classic coach-built favorite. Offers a huge area for socializing, working, and dining during the day.

Spacious internal feel
Seats 4-6 people easily
Daily bed conversion needed

The Tie-Breaker Questions

1. Do you have expensive outdoor gear?

If you have e-bikes, paddleboards, or a massive tool kit, a **Fixed Bed** is almost mandatory for the secure garage space.

2. Do you intend to work full-time?

While you can work on a swivel seat, the **U-Shape Lounge** provides a much more comfortable 'office' environment with a proper table.

3. Are you a 'neat freak'?

If seeing a messy bed during the day bothers you, the **U-Shape Lounge** forces you to tidy up every morning. If you just want to crawl into bed at 11pm, go **Fixed**.
