Optimised Base Vehicle

We covert the following base vans; Fiat Ducato, Citroen Relay, Peugeot Boxer, VW Crafter, Mercedes Sprinter and MAN TGE. We have carefully selected the first three options as our preferred 6m base van. Their generous width allows for a full-width bed, maintaining manoeuvrability for urban driving and parking ease. These are also available in a 6.4m length. For a 7m variant, the Mercedes Sprinter or VW Crafter offer an unmatched performance, providing ample additional space for a family. All options come with an extensive array of customisable upgrades to suit individual preferences and some are also available in automatic transmission. We can recommend which vehicle would best suit your needs.

Premium Quality

Our vans are handcrafted by expert craftsmen with traditional joinery techniques and precision engineering. Incorporating authentic wood and hand-painted finishes, they stand out amidst conventional motorhomes, distinguished by their attention to high-end detailing.

Stylish Interiors

Drawing inspiration from dream homes, our interiors redefine contemporary elegance, driving the future of motorhome luxury. Infused with inviting touches like wooden windowsills, genuine kitchen tiles, and domestic taps, every detail ensures that you feel at home while on the road.

Market-leading Appliances

Our vans boast top functionality, using premium appliances and market leading technology from trusted brands such as Victron, Truma and Thule providing ultimate reliability and top tier performance.

All Seasons

Experience comfort in every season with our vans, crafted with a blend of four insulation materials to adapt to any climate. Paired with the thermostatic Truma combi heating system, enhanced ventilation, and the option for air conditioning, you'll stay cosy and comfortable, regardless of the elements outside.

Off-grid Ready

Our vans are fully equipped for off-grid adventures, offering you unparalleled freedom wherever you decide to take it. With roof-mounted solar panels and powerful alternator chargers, the Lithium batteries stay charged using an advanced 12-48V Victron setup. Allowing you to disconnect from the grid and connect to nature.

Gasless Available

Our gasless options enable ultimate off-grid independence without the need for LPG. Heating and hot water are provided by the diesel-powered Truma D6E and our upgraded 48V electrical systems facilitate the use of modern cooking facilities. Induction hobs, air fryers, and microwaves can all be powered by energy captured from solar panels and driving.
