We are passionate about building high-end, luxury van conversions with impeccable customer service and genuine support throughout the entire process. We stand by 3 core values in our business -
INTEGRITY OF WORK - From behind the walls all the way to the final finishing touches, we make sure to use the highest quality building materials and methods to make sure these conversions are built with absolute durability and safety.
PRACTICALITY - Being an avid adventurer myself I have spent many years experiencing first hand what owning a conversion is like and what is necessary for a safe trip and memorable adventure; We have designed our conversions in such a way that every square inch is created with intention.
CUSTOMER CARE - From the moment you speak to us on the phone to years down the line; we want you to experience and feel our genuine support and care. We only make a few vans a year which allow us to really care for each individual client and make time for any and all needs.
This brand new 2021 Mercedes Sprinter 170’ has been professionally built and outfitted with top of the line appliances and modifications; every aspect of the design is built for maximum efficiency of space and elegance.
With a 2 year/15k mile warranty we stand behind our builds with confidence, and pride ourselves in having the highest quality of customer service to ensure that our customers feel the utmost support and guidance.
*Please note - The images you see in this post are of our latest build that was recently sold. We are currently building out a 2021 Mercedes Sprinter 170’ that will have the exact same layout as the one in the photographs. The current build-out will have a different color palette; The exterior van is a grey-blue color, the ceiling has a natural maple wood, the flooring will be a light sandy color and the counters will also be maple. Apart from those differences they will be exactly the same.
Electrical System -
The electrical system in this build utilizes all Victron components. Victron is known in the industry as the highest quality of any brands available. The entire system was built under the guidance and instructions of one of Victron's very own ambassadors.
600Ah BattleBorn Lithium Batteries
100Ah Factory Installed Batteries

400 Watts Solar

There is no need to carry internal propane tanks as we built this conversion to completely run off of the battery power installed. Everything from the induction cooktop, the electric water heater and all the lights etc. This personally gives us peace of mind and eliminates the potential risk of carbon monoxide build up/fires.
We've included 3 different ways to charge the electrical system to ensure you always have ample power -
Shore power - Ability to hook up to an electrical outlet at a home or campsite
Solar - Charging while off grid
Alternator charging - Charges the batteries while you drive

Heating/ Cooling -
Espar D2L-S2 Diesel Heater; This is an incredible resource to have on the road; it runs off the internal diesel tank and requires just 1 gallon of diesel every 24hrs which makes it a remarkably efficient way to heat the cabin in a matter of minutes.
Maxxair Fan (7500 Deluxe). Running this quiet 12V fan while you sleep with the skylight window ajar will provide an excellent cross-breeze for a fresh night's sleep.
The entire ceiling and walls are insulated with high quality Sheeps wool from Havelock - A New Zealand based company that provides a non toxic solution to insulation; with astonishing moisture wicking properties and a high R-value (Insulation rating system) this method of insulation is second to none.
Windows/Lighting -
Bringing natural lighting was an important aspect of design in this build. We opted for 2 rear windows and one large sliding door window that has the ability to open up while maintaining privacy. There is also a large Dometic Skylight over the bed (25’x19”); it can fully open up or be covered with the blackout blind.
All the windows have a custom cover, made from easily cleaned waterproof material, that effortlessly magnetizes to the frame of the window for complete blackout privacy.
