Home, van-ish.
Modular van furniture built from 80/20 T-slot aluminium. Every module stands on its own, and modules bolt together into one unit. You enter your van's measurements; Van-Ish works out every cut, every part and anything that will not fit.
| Module | What it is | Key figure (default) |
|---|---|---|
| Left bed | Lengthwise platform with a shelf mount and a locking drawer underneath | 500 lb shelf load |
| Right bed | Matching platform with the fresh-water tank and 12 V pump below | 25 gal · 220.5 lb wet |
| Island | Sits between the beds at bed height; holds the electronics bay and a fold-down table, and fills in to make one wide bed | 2.56 kWh battery bay |
| Kitchen | Counter with sink, induction cooktop and grey-water tank | 48 × 24 in counter |
| Kitchen extension | Slide-out counter that rides on the kitchen's rail | +3.3 sq ft |
| Roof rack | Fixed frame on the high-top, solar panels that tilt toward the sun when parked, and a storage bay | 800 W · tilts 0–45° |
Beds run lengthwise at 20 in by default. Every number in this table is a setting, with a minimum and maximum the tool enforces.
A profile holds the cargo floor, wall-to-wall width, the wheel wells, interior height and the roof. The first profile is a 2009 Ford E-350 extended high-top, with every value marked as an estimate until it is measured.
Each module is a set of aluminium members, bought parts and mating faces. Change bed height or tank size and the frame follows.
The solver places each module, checks it against the walls, the wheel wells, the roof height limit and its neighbours, and checks every loaded rail for sag under its rated load.
Modules that share a face share a rail. Joining both beds to the island removes two rails and adds four joining plates.
The result is a cut list packed into standard stick lengths, a parts list, the build's weight and its left/right balance.
Van-Ish picks the lightest extrusion that carries each part's load, then reuses sizes already in the build so you buy fewer kinds. Cuts are packed into the 72, 97 and 145 in sticks 80/20 sells. Try the full six-module build with packing on and off:
2 extrusion sizes (1010 and 1515) · 0 problems found
Lower the beds to 12 in and the solver reports the frame sits 1.5 in into the wheel well.
At 30° tilt the roof rack reaches 133 in; stowed it is 116 in. A stowed height over your limit is flagged.
Force a light extrusion under the 500 lb shelf and the solver shows its sag margin falling below 1.
Water and batteries are heavy. The solver reports how much weight sits on each side of the van.
Your design lives in Van-Ish itself, so it never depends on one CAD program. FreeCAD (free, including for commercial use) is the default 3D view and drawing set. Onshape is optional if you already pay for a seat. 80/20's ideabuilder.io is where you price the parts and place the order.
