WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS VAN:

We spared no expense on this van. Whatever parts or design features we felt would be right, we installed them. We spent all the time or money we felt was right to make it truly great!
Attention to detail is extremely important to us and it shows in the detail and precision with which we built this van.
This is a truly one-of-a-kind custom creation, that’s very comfortable and enjoyable to use.
Unlike vans with fewer amenities or smaller electrical systems, you don’t need to make many sacrifices to spend time in this van.
The big electrical system will power all your gadgets, and it has enough water storage to spend a good amount of time off-grid, too. Equally, it’s great to have the luxury of plugging it in at a campground if you’re staying somewhere with power available.
There’s plenty of storage, including room for a dog crate or 2x bikes underneath the bed, if that’s important to you (dog crate pictured will be removed).
It looks badass on the outside, but cosy and homey on the inside!
I could go on… but if I spend too much time thinking about how great it is then I’ll just want to hang on to it for longer!
