The layout was a mess.Days of planning.I spent weeks staring at the open floor plan of my empty van trying to figure out how to balance heavy water storage with custom gear boxes.Fighting For Every InchWe needed water.Lots of it.I found a specialized over-the-wheel-well water tank that contours perfectly to the inner metal wall to maximize every square inch of our usable living area.The wood is raw.The cuts are tight.I spent the last few days assembling the main cabinet framework and a heavy bench seat to map out exactly where our mobile studio gear will live on the road.Seeing the Dream Take ShapeThe pieces fit.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe vision is clear.This is the very first time I am stepping back to see the actual layout with dedicated zones carved out for a high-efficiency refrigerator, a compact oven, and a deep sink setup.ConclusionNever waste the space around your wheel wells when planning a custom mobile build. Maximizing those awkward corners early on will give you the freedom to design a highly functional layout that survives the most demanding road trips.
