This van has been lovingly converted with comfort, functionality, and off-grid living in mind. We wanted to keep the design simple, stylish and practical – making the most of the space while keeping everything clean and cosy.
It features a pull-out bed with comfy navy velour cushions that transforms from a seating area into a spacious sleeping space. There’s a gas hob and sink combo built into a solid wood worktop, with a micro-switch cold tap and submersible pump connected to 19L fresh and 10L waste water containers.
We’ve added a 350W solar panel on the roof, hooked up to a Victron Smart 100/30 MPPT charge controller, 500W Victron inverter, and 2 x 100Ah leisure batteries – so you can run lights, charge devices, and keep the 12V fridge cold even when you’re totally off-grid.
There’s plenty of cleverly integrated storage throughout, a roof vent for airflow, and dimmable lighting for the evenings. It’s fully insulated and lined, with white cladding, wood-effect flooring, and thoughtful details throughout.
This has been a real passion project and we’re only selling to move onto the next build. It’s an ideal van for someone who wants a reliable, stylish, and well-equipped home on wheels.
The bed pulls out from a fixed bench seat into a cosy double that runs lengthways in the van
