Get ready to meet the very latest van build from Slow Road Campersโ€ฆ

Sancho!!

It doesnโ€™t get much more special than thisโ€ฆ

Sancho has been designed, specified & built to be a truly unique, totally awesome, uber luxurious, super spacious, mega comfortable, off-grid adventure truck โ€“ including heaps of storage space for all your equipment & toys โ€“ as well as an incredible custom roof deck & side ladder for the ultimate #vanlife wow factor!

Sancho will happily take you wherever your next adventure calls โ€“ and take you there in style! Everywhere weโ€™ve taken him, without fail he attracts loads of attention for all the right reasonsโ€ฆ

The design aesthetic is light & spacious, using solid oak finishes contrasted with clean, white surfaces & modern black fixtures. Think swish Hamptons beach shack on wheels! The exterior is rugged, finished with Raptor and decked out with an incredible Rood Rack/Deck, Side Ladder, Spare Wheel Carrier & Expedition/Gear Box.

Every part of this build has been professionally hand-crafted and lovingly created by the Slow Road team over the past 12 months using the very best components & appliances โ€“ resulting in a high-quality truck that you can enjoy & cherish for years to comeโ€ฆ

The high-end, super-powerful off-grid solar set up will allow you to travel wherever you want for as long as you want, and still have plenty of juice left to power everything you may need.

Your comfort on the road is taken care of with an amazing Hobbit Wood Burning Stove (by Salamander Stoves), Truma Varioheat Comfort LPG Heater, Excel Instant Hot Water Boiler + Outdoor Shower & Separating Compost Toilet (by Strumpet & Trollop).

The kitchen area is large & well-appointed, with a sleek black 120 litre Vitrifrigo C115i Compressor Fridge/Freezer, Thetford Triplex LPG 3 Burner Hob, Oven & Grill โ€“ along with the matt black Franke Tectonite Sink & Stainless-Steel Pull-Out Tap.

Good quality Mercedes Vario camper conversions are incredibly rare (when was the last time you passed one on the motorway?!) with professionally converted and highly specified vans such as this being pretty much non-existent! All of which adds up to make Sancho an absolute unicorn of a campervan!

Whether youโ€™re planning on taking Sancho off for a luxury weekend blast or a full-blown mega-adventure-road-trip – heโ€™s got everything you need and more to get out there & explore the Sancho way!

BASE VEHICLE

Sancho came to us as a former rolling showroom vehicle for Snap-On Tools. Heโ€™s got an insanely thick and detailed folder of receipts & invoices dating back to his initial delivery from Mercedes Commercial back in 2004! No expense has been spared on his upkeep and maintenance over the years. Heโ€™s mechanically extremely sound, with the renowned million-mile engine.

His chassis & bodywork were the main reasons we were drawn to him, being straight and virtually rust free. Underneath he was definitely the cleanest example weโ€™d viewed on our search… Heโ€™s a pretty rare LWB with only 2 front doors (passenger slider) and 2 rear doors (so no long travel passenger side sliding door). We were drawn to this as it makes the van extra secure and gives more space inside to play with the layout!
