Weekend Explorer Camper Van

Weekend Explorer Camper Van

If you’re looking for a van you can drive everyday and get out of town with on the weekends, this is it. It was designed with a family in mind as it will seat 5 and can sleep 4-5 depending on the size of the kids. It’s a 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. It’s a 144” wheelbase model with the high roof option. This allows people over 6 feet to stand with ease. It comes standard with many sought after options like the multifunction display, Xenon headlights, and a backup camera. It has a roof AC unit that keeps things cool for all passengers when driving. The factory 3 person bench seat can be easily removed when you need more room. It started out as a passenger van instead of a cargo van, so you have windows all around. It’s nice to be able to play games or eat in the back and see your beautiful surroundings.

As far as the camper part of the van goes everything is brand new and no one has slept in it yet. It has a dinette in the back that can seat 4-6 and a table that swivels. The two benches of the dinette open from the top for tons of storage. When it comes time for bed, the table drops down and turns the dinette into a bed that measures 52”x75”. Out the back of the van you have a 4 foot drawer that pulls out to store all of your gear and a special pocket built in for a folding table.

In the kitchen area you have a sink that is fed by 2-5 gallon water containers and a 5 gallon grey water tank. There is a 12v pump that is connected to a pressure switch that puts out good water flow. The van also has a 65 liter Dometic fridge that has a built in freezer. The freezer compartment can be removed for times when a fridge is all that is necessary. Above and below the fridge there are drawers for utensils and food. Next to the fridge is a cabinet that has 3 adjustable shelves.

Everything is made from 12 ply high quality Baltic birch plywood and is covered on the outside with Formica laminate. Formica is easy to clean and will stand up to years of bumps and scrapes. The interior of the cabinets have been stained to bring out the beauty of the birch.

To fully utilize all the space that the van offers, there is a bed that fits on the front seats and folds up against the side wall when not in use. The mattress is stored on the overhead shelf above the driver.

For the frosty nights there is an Espar diesel heater installed that runs off of the factory fuel tank. This makes even the coldest nights comfortable and uses minimal fuel. For hotter nights and general air movement, there is a Maxxair fan installed over the dinette. Under the hood there are 2 6-volt batteries wired to provide 12v power for the van. This powers the heater, fridge, fan, water pump, LED lights, and USB charging ports that have been added.

Having a van like this changes everything when it comes to traveling/camping. It’s easy to keep it fully packed all the time and just pick up food and fuel on your way out of town when the weekend comes. Weather becomes less of factor knowing that you can cook and eat inside should a storm roll in. Put the tent away and step into #vanlife, you deserve it.

Drop Down Kids Bed Camper Van

Drop Down Kids Bed Camper Van

The Kominsky family loves the river. They didn’t want a fridge, but custom measurements where they could load up their huge coolers to take down the river. They also wanted the kids bed to drop down from the ceiling. This was tricky with having to build in the lighting within the kids bed that lowers and raises to give light to the dinette in all positions.
