The back of his VW is carpeted and insulated to keep him toasty throughout the colder months.

He also shows off his portable power system he says has wireless charging for his phone.

To save space, Lars has boxes for storage which can also be moved around to become his bed or a chair for relaxing in.

In seconds, he can transform the van from a lounge to a kitchen where he has plenty of space to cook or make coffee.

“Having this extra space makes such a difference,” he says.

The van also has a portable shower although he admits he won’t be using it outside much during winter.

In his downtime, Lars enjoys relaxing in a fold-up camp chair outside in the sun.

But when he has to work, he has a folding desk that goes on the driver’s seat and transforms the driver’s seat into an office.

He finishes the video by saying: “The best thing about my van is that I can move the boxes and it’s a van again.”

Lars continues to update people on living full-time in the van on TikTok where he has thousands of followers.
