Layout
We have designed and built this campervan with versatility in mind. The large seating area is located at the front of the van, featuring a bench seat with upholstery. The front seats swivel, and a convenient table is positioned in the cab area to optimize space.
The shower cubicle ensures you stay fresh even in remote locations, and doubles as a drying room with heating to handle wet coats and shoes.
Despite the Sprinter’s narrowness, we’ve made the 4 ft 6 in wide bed as long as possible, at around 6 ft 1 in length. You can also sleep lengthways with the bench seat upholstery on the worktop, creating a nearly 7 ft long bed.
Storage is ample with top lockers and cupboards mostly free from appliances and there is a selection of drawers, cupboards, and baskets for all your camping bits and bobs.
The camper also has a huge garage area at the rear underneath the bed.
Appliances
We use only the highest quality appliances that we trust completely. The oven/hob/grill combo is a Thetford Triplex, while the fridge is the latest Dometic NRX80 80 litre, renowned for its durability. Hot water and air heating are provided by a Truma 4e system, controllable via an iNet panel or your mobile phone, so you can heat the camper without having to hop out of bed on those chilly mornings! The sink and tap are durable, household-grade items, with the granite composite sink designed to withstand knocks and bangs from pots and pans.
Electrics
We ensure our campers are equipped to prevent any worries about running out of electricity. With a robust 410-watt solar panel and a charger that powers the leisure battery while the engine runs, you’ll have ample charge for daily use. For campsite visits, the van includes a 240V hookup and a battery charger to keep your leisure battery fully charged. Our lithium battery outperforms lead acid/AGM options, offering 5,000 to 10,000 charge cycles versus just 300, and is lighter and more compact.
Having traveled across Europe off-grid for months, you can trust our expertise in electric installations.
Fuelling/water
The van features an onboard gas locker with a gas safety certificate, which could accommodate a large cylinder of 7.5 kg. Fresh water is supplied by a 75-litre onboard tank that is easy to clean and avoids freezing issues in winter. Waste water is stored in a 70-litre underslung tank, which can be easily emptied through a tap near the rear sill.
Lighting and windows
The van offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with six main lights, three filament-style bulbs, and an under-counter light. The rear features five windows and two skylights, including a Maxxfan, to flood the space with natural light and keep you cool during summer.
At the rear of the van, you’ll find a spacious fixed bed measuring 4 feet 6 inches wide. Given the Sprinter’s narrow design which can pose challenges for taller individuals, we’ve made it easy to sleep lengthwise. Simply move the bench seat upholstery to the end of the bed, resting it on the kitchen counter. To enhance your comfort, the thickness of the mattress and the bench seat upholstery are identical, ensuring a cozy night’s sleep.
