 Cardboard Aided Design((a play on Computer Aided Design, or CAD)) is a method to **model a van's living space**((cargo area)) at actual scale.  It is a mock-up you can stand in, sit in, //live// in.  it does not require one to actually own a van yet.  The area is marked off and actual objects or cardboard mock-ups are moved into the space.
-A similar scale model idea is expressed by lennyflank when he, perhaps jokingly, advises mildly interested newcomers to "live in your bathroom for a month."

 **Full size cargo vans** usually have living spaces ~10ft for regular wheel base(("RWB")) and ~12ft for long wheel base(("LWB")).  Extended body vans can be even longer.  The cargo area is typically ~6ft wide.
