Make your own storage box for the Volkswagen T5

Are you looking for a practical and stylish storage solution for your Volkswagen T5 California? Be inspired by Bas' project, who has created a custom-made storage box with precision and attention to detail that fits perfectly in the center console.

From sketch to realization

Every project starts with a detailed plan. Bas started his DIY adventure with a clear sketch, on which the dimensions were carefully noted. Each panel of the storage box was custom ordered from OPMAATZAGEN.nl, which made the project meet the specific requirements of the Volkswagen T5.

The construction of the storage box

With the wood cut to size, it was time to assemble the storage chest. Bas chose MDF Moisture Resistant V313 Black 18 mm for a robust and design-inspired look. The mounting holes were carefully drilled, after which the storage chest was gradually shaped using screws.

The finishing touch

The storage box is equipped with professional hinges and a sleek top, making it not only a functional but also a visually attractive part of the camper interior. The black MDF gives a modern and timeless look that fits perfectly with the interior of the Volkswagen T5.
