This van layout is our personal favorite. In fact, we lived in this van as a couple for almost 2 years.
The best feature of “The Beach House” van layout is its expansive window layout. The wraparound side & rear window design allows you to back your van up to any landscape and instantly live in natural luxury.
This van layout includes a functional design with full wet bath, kitchen, convertible table/bed area, and ample storage in a full closet and dresser.
Underneath the main living space, this van features a dedicated space for bikes, boards, camping gear and more.
“The Outdoorsman” van layout boasts a full kitchen, bathroom, shower, and convertible bed/dining area.If you’re bringing active gear with you on the road, this van layout is perfect for you. It’s dual floor design gives you plenty of extra storage in the main van area as well as in the mini garage area underneath the bed area.
This layout was inspired by our clients who needed a sleeping and seating solution for them and their two kids.
They loved the convertible bed/table area that we incorporate into our builds as well as the full bathroom with a toilet and shower. Since we had to install a bench seat for the kids to ride in while driving, we knew that this van build was all about maximum storage and functionality!
So we ended up coming up with a convertible bunk bed solution by utilizing a HappiJac bed lift. This gave them the best of both worlds - they have a place to sit and eat together as a family AND two large beds - the lower bed is an almost king size bed and the top bed is a full size bed.
Built in a 170” Extended Mercedes Sprinter Van, the family van 2.0 is the van we built for our own family of 4. We did not utilize the Happijac in this build because it eliminates all of the upper cabinet storage in the rear of the van. We love having the extra storage, and our kids are too little to sleep in a bunk bed.
For now, we utilize a convertible bench seat for a secondary bed. Another option in this layout is to use the Cabbunk bunk bed system for the front cab.
This van was inspired by our client who is a solo male traveler. He didn’t need as much space so he opted for the 144” wheelbase Sprinter Van but still wanted to have a full bathroom since he is living in it full time. We adapted our original Beach House layout to fit the 144” Sprinter.
The Mini Beach house still features a functional floor plan with a full bathroom, kitchen, convertible bed/dining area, and closet.
We have since built it for clients who love having a shorter wheelbase van with all the amenities!
The Seaside layout is perfect for those who want to store longer items like surfboards, skateboards or skooters inside. The 7" tall "mini-mini" garage between the two benches is perfect for sliding in these items.
This 2019 159” Extended Promaster has a full bathroom with a shower and composting toilet as well as a large kitchen, dresser and closet for extra storage.
The Loft layout features a full-time platform bed with a bathroom, kitchen, closet and seating area that converts into a secondary sleeping space for guests.
This makes it the perfect layout for solo travelers who want to bring along a friend.
This layout was also designed to fit bikes and other gear in the garage, which is easily accessible from the back doors.
This van is perfect for those who only need one additional passenger seat in the rear! Built a 170” Sprinter van, this van features a full time bed, large kitchen, wet bath and a single seat in the rear to ride another passenger.
The front area also doubles as a eat/work/play spot with the front seats swiveled around.
This gear style van a modular bed with large garage underneath (perfect for mountain bikes!), an extra bench seat that converts into a 6 ft bed & so much more!
This is the first “gear” style van we have completed for a client with tweed upholstered panel walls and a cedar shiplap ceiling. This was built in a 2022 144” Sprinter 4x4.
