High Spec Off-Grid Conversion

—- Overview —-
This custom-built campervan was designed for a couple to comfortably travel, work, and enjoy the outdoors doing activities like hiking, climbing, and cycling across Europe. It is fully equipped for off-grid living, featuring a seemingly never ending power system, large water and gas tanks, and ample storage for extended adventures. The van is lovely for just relaxating, having diner, or can be used as a mobile office, ensuring comfort and convenience wherever you go.

—- Detailed Description —
Off-Grid Capabilities
– Power System: A high-capacity battery supports several days of off-grid living. It can be charged in three ways: via solar panels, by the vehicle’s alternator while driving, or through a standard electrical hook-up.
– Gas Supply: An underslung LPG tank provides a long-lasting fuel source for cooking, heating and hot water, typically lasting several months.
– Water System: A large 75L fresh water tank minimises the need for frequent refills. For waste water, you have the flexibility of a 10L swappable tank or a direct-to-outside drainage option.
– Hot Water Shower: A gas-powered, portable shower unit is accessible from the rear, providing the luxury of hot showers outdoors.

Living and Working
– Flexible Living Space: The comfortable sofa area easily seats three people. A retractable table adjusts to many sizes, the most common being as a small coffee table, a two-person workspace, or a full-sized dining table.
– Guest Bed: The seating area quickly converts into an additional bed for a guest, with slats conveniently stored in the over-cab cupboard.
– Power and Connectivity: Strategically placed power sockets are available for all your needs. A dual socket is positioned for two people working on laptops, another in the kitchen for appliances (up to 800W), and a discreet socket is hidden in an overhead cupboard. USB ports are located in the kitchen and on both sides of the bed for easy overnight charging.
– Climate Control: Stay comfortable in any weather with a MaxxAir fan, which includes a remote control for excellent ventilation, and a mushroom vent with an adjustable fan in the bedroom to regulate temperature while you sleep.

Kitchen
– Appliances: The kitchen features a dual-burner gas hob designed specifically for campervans and a highly efficient 45L Dometic pull-out fridge.
– Sink and Countertop: A full-size stainless steel sink makes washing up easy and provides extra storage space while driving, complemented by a beautiful solid oak worktop.
– Storage: You’ll find extensive and well-organised storage, including a pull-out larder, deep cupboards for pots and pans, large drawers for crockery, and overhead cupboards for dry goods. A unique three-bin recycling system is mounted on easy-access sliding runners.

Sleeping
– Main Bed: A full-size standard double memory foam mattress (135x190cm) is positioned width-ways for a comfortable and restful night’s sleep.
– Atmospheric Lighting: The sleeping area features dimmable LED strip lights and individual reading lamps, allowing you to create a cozy and relaxing evening atmosphere.

Storage
– Internal Storage: Every inch of space is utilised, with retractable bins near the door, extensive under-seat storage, numerous overhead cupboards, a shoe box, and a large over-cab storage area.
– Garage: The vast rear garage, accessible from under the fixed bed, is designed to hold two full-size bicycles (with front wheels removed). Its durable rubber flooring makes it easy to clean, and even with bikes stored, there is ample room for large items like bouldering pads or inflatable paddle boards.

Bathroom
– Composting Toilet: The van includes a discrete, removable Kildwick composting toilet. This eco-friendly solution is simple to use, odour-free, and easy to empty, making it a preferred choice for off-grid travel over traditional chemical toilets.

Security and Practicality
– Vehicle Security: For your peace of mind, the van is fitted with deadlocks on all doors.
– Valuables Storage: A laptop safe is securely bolted through the vehicle’s floor, and a discreet hatch provides convenient access between the cab and the living area.
– Vehicle Status: The van has had a fresh MOT and Service
