I rented a 75-square-foot van for a 2-week trip and was shocked by how spacious it felt. Take a look inside.

As an Uber driver dropped me off at Native Campervans, an RV rental company in Denver, Colorado, I noticed a spotless 2019 Ram ProMaster outside.

Each van had a name. I’d be calling ChickVan Nugget my home for the next two weeks.

Ram ProMasters are around 75 square feet. While I’ve packed for two-week trips with just a carry-on suitcase before, a van adventure meant a lot more gear.

My route — from Colorado through to New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah — would include a range of temperatures and activities. This meant I’d need a variety of clothes.

I planned to cook all my meals, so groceries were a must on my packing list. In order to make dinner, I’d also need to clean up, so paper towels and Lysol wipes were also on my list.

I was worried my stuff wouldn't all fit. But when I stepped inside the van, I was shocked to find more space than I imagined. Take a look inside.

The driver’s area of the van felt like most cars. I could connect my phone to Bluetooth, check on how many miles I had until the tank was empty, and throw the car into reverse.

The biggest difference was the rearview mirror. Since the back windshield of the van was blacked out, a camera displayed the cars behind me. When the car was off, the mirror worked like normal. When the car was on, the mirror turned into a screen.

Behind the driver and passenger seats was the living area.

The sliding door opened to the kitchen area, which had upper and lower cabinets, a mini fridge, a stove, and a sink.

Three shelves above the counter stored the bulk of my groceries for two weeks. There were also pots and pans provided by Native Campervans.

The small sink had soap and a scrubber provided.

Underneath were two seven-gallon tanks. One with clean water and another for grey water.

The counter was home to a two-burner propane stove.

Below the stove was a propane hookup and two drawers.

To the left was another drawer and a mini fridge.

Nearby, a panel controlled the van's lights, water pump, and outlets.

To the left of the kitchen was the bed, which was slightly smaller than a queen at 4 feet, 8 inches wide and 6 feet long.

Against the wall was another control panel for the van's heating system, fan, and lights.

Below the bed were two more drawers for storage.

To the left was a storage bench.

Stored behind the driver's seat was a swivel table that could attach to the bench.

The van also had a "garage." This area could only be accessed from the outside of the van.

The garage was home to the van's inverter and had plenty of room for storage.

It also had room for two camping chairs and a camping table.

As I unloaded my trunk full of belongings into the van, I hardly utilized all the space.

The cabinets had plenty of room and the garage wasn't even close to full.

I was relieved. For the next two weeks, I never struggled to find a spot to store everything I packed.

And while I'd have a lot more items if I decided to live in a van full time, the two-week trip convinced me it would be possible to downsize.
