*LUXURY OFF-GRID XLWB VAN* Secret Shower, King bed, Bunk bed, High Spec, Gas Safe, EU6, Beautiful Interior *updated gallery*

I wanted to bring this fully featured and unique design to a slightly smaller vehicle that could be used casually in more situations, being able to park in smaller spaces and be more nimble without sacrificing features or comfort. The van feels really good to move around in even with up to 5 people.

The key to this layout and functionality is a custom metal fabricated bench seat that is bolted not only to the floor but inner frame of the van. If this is not required by the buyer, I can remove and replace for an equivalent wooden box and reduce the price by £650.

DESIGN
This is a very functional design for a family with 2 Fixed beds & 1 bed extended off the bench. Another bed could be added by the drivers seat if a ‘Cabbunk’ was acquired. I’ve learned over the years that making beds with kids in the mix gets tedious very quickly hence my want for 2 fixed beds. I prioritised an open and easy flowing space so the shower and toilet is hidden inside the belted seat bench. Lots of open space but also lots of storage throughout from a handy shoe / bag cubby, to shelves, overhead cabinets, indented storage spaces throughout and large draws.

WATER, SHOWER & HEATING
– Diesel Air & Water heater. Plumbed into main Diesel tank. This can heat a 12L tank in about 10-15 minutes. This water will stay hot for most of the day.
– 75L fresh Water Underslung tank with level Gage
– 12L circulating hot water tank (fed from fresh water, so 87L in total)
– 50L Grey Tank, underslung
– Elephant Tap
– Reverse Osmosis Cartridge for Pure filtered drinking water! (This makes a big difference on the go saving bottles etc)
– Shurflo Pump & Seaflo pump on the hot system.
– Accumulator for smooth water pressure
– Shower that runs off the main elephant tap with a connector, which then hangs above the shower box. The shower curtain is also large so it expands lightly wider than the box to get the feeling of a room. This drains directly into the grey tank

SOLAR & ELECTRICS

– Massive 475 Watt Solar panel on the roof
