Journey
Van
2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 144" - 4x4
Capacity
Seats 4; Sleeps 4
When your van needs to sleep two adults and two children, it’s important that every bit of space is used efficiently.
We worked with the clients to come up with solutions that would allow everyone to stay comfortable during vanlife, such as by utilizing the Travois floor system that has an L-track for moving seats around. Bedtime? Just move the seats back and lay them flat to create two more sleeping spots for the little ones.
Despite being packed with creature comforts like an induction stove, microwave, and hot water shower, this custom family van still feels light, airy and spacious.
Interior Features of Journey
- Insulation & Noise Control: We used LizardSkin Sound Control & Ceramic Insulation throughout the van interior and 3M Thinsulate insulation in the van cavities for maximum temperature and sound regulation throughout the van.
- Upholstery & Paneling: Upholstered Marine-Grade plywood wall panels, cab headliner in the driver’s area, rear transom and door panels give this van a tailored, high-quality finish all while being durable for family life on the road. The light-colored bamboo ceiling panels make the van feel airier and the ABS laminated Baltic birch gives a clean, modern look.
- Windows: FlareSpace flares (also known as van bump out panels) with CRL 10"x33" maximize sleeping space and provide cross-ventilation through bunk windows. The driver’s side Arctic Tern window provides more light and airflow.
- Ventilation & Temperature Control: The Dometic roof air conditioning unit and the Webasto dual-top, 4K diesel heater with dual heat registers makes this van usable in all four seasons. A MaxxAire 7500K fan provides efficient airflow and has a remote control for easy operation.
- Safety: Kidde 4lb Rechargeable Fire Extinguisher For A, B, C Class Fires 12V CO Detector
It’s easy to go down the rabbit hole of vanlife and come away with ideas of how to make your rooftop yoga studio and faux finished cabinets.
At the foundation of every great van build is a robust insulation process and it’s one of the very first things we focus on when starting the build process.
A van interior may look great on a screen, but when you peel back the layers, you’ll find that not all vans are created equally.
