Is a Simple Vans Kit Really For You? (Take the Quiz and Find Out Before You Ruin Your Life)

Posted on2025-06-26 by

Look, we’re not going to pretend we’re for everyone.

Some of you were looking for ‘less is more’ wardrobe ideas to go with your new skate shoes (the other reason people search for ‘Simple Vans’). Some people are out there Googling “van conversion tips” while secretly hoping the van converts itself. And others are already halfway through installing their solar system with one hand while making a killer cappuccino with the other. So before you commit to our premium CNC-cut, self-assembly camper van furniture kits… let’s see if we’re actually right for each other. This is a logic-based compatibility test. Not like the ones you did in Cosmo. Way better. Ready?

Question 1: Why are you even here? 

a) I clicked by accident. I really was looking for wardrobe ideas to go with my new skate shoes. Can I leave now?

b) My ex just changed the locks and I’m suddenly really interested in converting a van.

c) I just spent 3 hours watching van tour videos and I dream in 3D floorplans.



Question 2: How handy are you?
 

a) I once used a glue stick. It went… badly.

b) What I lack in tools and expertise, I make up for in blind optimism.

c) I can assemble IKEA in the dark, blindfolded, mid-argument with my partner.



Question 3: What do you look for in van furniture?
 

a) Plastic. Foldable. Preferably inflatable.

b) Rustic Charm meets Pallet Chic with a touch of Please Don’t Break.

c) Beautiful, functional plywood I can build myself over a weekend… and still trust on a mountain pass.



Question 4: Your approach to DIY furniture?
 

a) Plastic. Foldable. Preferably inflatable.

b) Rustic Charm meets Pallet Chic with a touch of Please Don’t Break.

c) Beautiful, functional plywood I can build myself over a weekend… and still trust on a mountain pass.

Question 5: Your dream camping weekend involves… 

a) A hotel.

b) Good company, nice view and… wine.

c) Sunrise coffee, surfboards, and smugly not paying for a campsite.

 

Question 6: What’s your attitude toward self-assembly kits?

a) I’ve been known to cry in front of flatpack furniture.

b) Mostly? Suspicion. I’ve been hurt before. Trust will need to be rebuilt.

c) Give me the parts. Keep the instructions. I’ll meet you back here in 4 hours.

 

Question 7: How do you respond to discomfort?

a) I leave a 1-star review and demand compensation.

b) I sigh dramatically and adapt after a brief snack.

c) Think about it: how can we appreciate comfort without first being comfortable with discomfort? 

Question 8: How confident are you behind the wheel of a van?

a) I’m confident that I wouldn’t be seen dead driving a van.

b) I reversed into a hedge once. But, to be fair, the hedge kind of appeared out of nowhere.

c) Give me a Sprinter and a goat trail–I’m good.

 

Question 9: What do you do when a project doesn't go to plan?

a) Blame someone else. Blame Mercury retrograde. I never wanted to do it in the first place. Why does this always happen to me?

b) Have a mild panic attack, phone a friend. Better still: phone three more friends and make it a happening.

c) Problems are just solutions you haven’t met yet.



Question 10: What’s driving your van conversion dream?

a) I saw a hot vanlife influencer once and thought... yeah, I could definitely be that attractive if I had fairy lights.

b) I just want to wake up somewhere different without it costing €150 a night.

c) Freedom. Self-reliance. Waking up to misty mornings in the Alps with everything I need in the back of my van.

The Results:
 
Mostly A’s:
Look, it’s not us, it’s you. If we sold fairy lights and van-shaped air fresheners, you'd be our top customer. But while our kits may be easy to build, they aren’t zero effort. Still, thanks for visiting. We'll always have this quiz.
Mostly B’s:
Hmm. At first, we weren’t sure. You seemed flaky. But something about your answers tells us there’s potential. You’re on the edge. Teetering. Come on in. Read a few blog posts. Maybe follow us on Instagram. Let’s just… see what happens.
Mostly C’s:
Goosebumps. You get us. You really get us. You want quality. You want functionality, modularity, versatility. You want plywood that smells faintly of forests and freedom. We’ve been waiting for you.
 
Ready to Take the Next Step?
So you’ve finished the quiz. Maybe you’re riding high on a wave of C’s, or you’re a hopeful B who’s not afraid of growth. Either way—you’re this close to finding your perfect match.
Let’s get you sorted:
👉 Got a Medium Van?
 Check out our Classic Kits—modular furniture made for compact vans with just the right balance of comfort, space, and style.

👉 Rolling in a Long Wheelbase?

 No worries. We made another quiz just for you. This one sorts you into one of three tribes:
