For my Major Design Project I aimed to convert a Tarago van into a usable camper. I removed the third row of seats and made a storage compartment in its place. I bolted in place to the rails where the seats were connected. The second row of seats fold down and the mattress support is secured over the top of the seats which is connected to the storage compartment below. I chose a Tarago as my vehicle of choice for its affordability, reliability and safety features. The camper easily converts back to a normal car by unscrewing the mattress board sliding it onto the storage compartment and folding the second row seats back in place.
