IONA
OUR RECLINING BED LAYOUT
We have taken the best elements from each of our completed van conversions and compiled them all into three ultimate off-grid van models.
Introducing Iona, an innovative sliding, reclining bed layout. Best suited to LWB vans.
​
This 2 or 3 berth conversion is optimised for all seasons and uses proven methods and high quality materials in our signature style. The specifications are completely customised to your individual needs and we can take time to get to know how you will use the van to recommend your set up.
​
If you are looking for a more bespoke layout, just let us know what you have in mind.
THE BASE VEHICLE
We can source a new van for you or you are welcome to provide your own.
​
This layout was originally based on a LWB Crafter, Sprinter or MAN TGE. It can be adapted for the longer XLWB of these vans, or the shorter L4 version of the Citroen Relay, Peugeot Boxer or Fiat Ducato.
