FAMILY VAN TOUR | Bed Lift to Sleep 4!

We just wrapped up a van for us! We decided to use our original Family Van layout now that our boys are getting older. We know this van will be able to grow with us for years to come. This is built in a 170” extended 3500 Mercedes Sprinter Van.

The rear area features a convertible table/bed area with the Happijac bed lift system. During the day, the top bed can go all the way to the ceiling so you can have your table/seating space underneath. At night, you can push a button and drop the upper bed down and the area underneath converts to an almost king size bed.

Other features of this van include a swivel base for the extra bench seat, a full wet bath with a tile feature wall, a fridge and a freezer, and gorgeous white oak finishes throughout!

If you are looking for the swivel base or seat we use, please find the details by clicking here and shop at vanbuildshop.com

COMPONENTS

Dometic RTX 2000
$2,969.00

This self-contained truck roof parking cooler is battery-operated with up to 12 hours of running time. It is highly efficient with only 19A consumption in Eco mode.

The Dometic Coolair RTX 2000 creates pleasant temperatures for up to twelve hours before the battery monitor gives advance warning and finally cuts off the power supply to keep the engine ready to start. The even more powerful RTX 2000 uses its ample capacity to face hot temperatures in the truck cabin for up to twelve hours. Added to this, the CoolAir is amazingly quiet in operation. The two-cylinder compressor works unnoticeably, leaving the driver to rest perfectly to enjoy all the comforts of the parking cooler: the large, high-contrast display, the individually adjustable air distribution, the four operating modes – and the adaptive automatic mode of the air conditioner.
