Preppers. Vandwelling. When I was a kid, my dad had converted an old Dodge van into a camper, he completely gutted the inside, in the back he created a U shaped bench with a table in the middle, the table could be lowered to the same height as the bench and a cushion placed upon the table top to match the cushions on the bench, it made a great sleep platform. There was a cabinet that ran the length of one side of the van, it contained an ice box, yet a real ice box, you purchased a big cube of ice and it kept the contents of the ice box cold for several days. There was also a small sink with a pump handle to bring the water up from the water tank, the waste water from the sink drained out under the van.

Next to that was a small 2 burner propane stove top. There was some storage in the cabinets as well as under the bench in the back. My first project. Living Off the Grid: Free Yourself. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Home Page.
