my father in law has the spriter on the Mercedes chassis which looks to be similar to yours. it is small enough to drive around like a truck. It will sleep two very comfortable but more than that it sucks.

The top of the back storage. That’s what the white platform is. In the photos you’ll see the 6” foam mattress. It has sheetsduvet//pillows/etc now.


More importantly, have you broke it in yet?

Yeah I’ve seen where they scrounge up old laptop batteries, retest and recharge them to get the good ones. Takes a while but it’s free

If you are around Asheville in September you should check out the Van life rally. Its Sept 21-23. I've been to two of them now and they have some really cool shite. Everything from Old VW buses to new vans like yours.

Asheville Van life Rally

Definitely like the layout you designed. Good work!

That's incredibly badass. Well done and Godspeed.

I've drawn so many plans for one over the years. I'm going to sell my Lance next spring and find a good used Transit w the 6'8" roof and long wheelbase.

I have a modular system w drop-down bunk and Murphy bed roughly laid out. The Euros and Aussies sell all that stuff. We 'mericans have to build it ourselves.

I had a few friends ship over big gmc cargo vans to Europe to do some traveling and events. They always had lists of guys trying to buy the big vans, and most were shops that did the conversions as a business.
