Interior figures are between the walls and floor-to-headliner, derived from manufacturer specs and calibrated against published cargo dimensions. Payload ≈ gross weight minus kerb weight — it varies with engine and options, so treat it as a planning guide.
What fits
- Standing: after a typical floor and ceiling build-up (~7 cm), the Vivaro L1H2 leaves about 1.84 m of headroom.
- Bed across: the widest variant measures 1.66 m between the walls — short of a 1.86 m mattress, so plan the bed lengthwise or add wheel-box flares.
- Parking: at 1.97 m tall outside, the lowest variant clears a standard 2.0 m garage barrier.
Payload budget
Depending on variant, the Vivaro carries roughly 1,175 kg to 1,334 kg of conversion, gear, water and people before hitting the gross weight limit. A typical full build lands between 400 and 700 kg before you pack — weigh the plan before you cut.

I'm Vladimir. I'm planning my own conversion, and none of the tools I tried could tell me whether a layout would fit or what it would do to the rear axle, so I made this one. I work on it alone. If something's wrong or missing, write to me — the address goes to my inbox.
