For Portsmouth campervan enquiries, this guide focuses on loading order. Compare a kitchen-and-cupboard layout with a compact bed-and-storage kit, then decide what must remain reachable from inside the van after bulky equipment has been loaded.

Furniture layouts to compare
Use the current product drawings and pack contents alongside this guide. Compare the sleeping footprint, usable storage and space needed to open doors before choosing your finish.
U-shaped kit with cupboard storage
A kitchen and lounge with a fixed cupboard beneath the front of the right bench. Overall footprint 1400 × 2261 mm; plywood or Black Hex.
Compact LWB bed and storage kit
U-shaped seating, cupboard storage and a 1400 × 2000 mm bed footprint. Allow the full 2000 mm length and at least 1420 mm finished interior width.
Browse all U-shaped conversion kits, or compare separate kitchens and cupboards and overhead storage. Product images are renders; the listings show current options and prices.
Pack a camper without blocking everyday cupboards
Give each loading door a job
List items you load through the rear doors and those you want beside the side entrance. Place the largest box on a scaled floor plan and draw its complete path into the storage bay. Check handles, lids and the height of the opening. A large internal compartment can still be awkward if its doorway makes the contents difficult to remove.
Test the first stop, not just departure
Run through arriving, making a drink and setting up the bed with all your luggage aboard. Keep frequently used items in cupboards that open without moving the largest bag. For the kitchen layout, allow for the stepped bed shape. For the compact LWB kit, reserve the full furniture length rather than treating the rear storage as spare floor space.
Prepare your Portsmouth conversion enquiry
Send the van make, model, year, wheelbase and roof height, the kit you are considering and your finished measurements. Include:
- Packed dimensions of the largest box
- Loading route from the chosen doorway
- Cupboards needed with the bed made
State the receiving postcode and whether any floor, lining or equipment measurements are still provisional. Use the contact form, call 0330 043 2427 or email contact@888VanRacking.co.uk.
Delivery and Medway collection
For delivery to Portsmouth, enter your full postcode at checkout and check the service for the selected kit. Provide access details for a home or workshop delivery and leave time to inspect and assemble the furniture before your first trip.
The featured conversion-kit listings offer £80 pallet delivery where that service is available, or free Medway collection by arrangement. Confirm service and price for Highland, island or restricted-access addresses. Rates for other furniture depend on the item and address. Check the shipping policy and your checkout options, or ask us to confirm delivery and lead time.
Before choosing your kit
Can I use every under-seat space as luggage storage?
Check the actual access openings and internal layout. Furniture supports, hinges and installation requirements reduce usable space; keep access to fixings and any separate equipment available.
What work and equipment should I plan separately?
These are furniture kits. Check the chosen listing for assembly hardware and optional catches or fitting packs. Appliances, cushions, mattress and table support are separate on the featured kits. Confirm your vehicle fit and structural mounting arrangements. Use the lounge and bed while parked; they are not travelling passenger seats.
