CORE VALUES OF OUR BUSINESS –
INTEGRITY OF WORK –
From behind the walls all the way to the final finishing touches, we make sure to use the highest quality, most eco friendly and non-toxic building materials to make sure these conversions are built with absolute durability and safety.
PRACTICALITY –
Being an avid adventurer myself I have spent many years experiencing first hand what owning a conversion is like and what is necessary for a safe trip and memorable adventure; We have designed our conversions in such a way that every square inch is created with intention.
CUSTOMER CARE –
From the moment you speak to us on the phone to years down the line; we want you to experience and feel our genuine support and care. We are not mass-producing conversions and therefore are able to really care for each individual client and make time for any and all needs.
Electrical System –
The electrical system in this build utilizes all Victron components. Victron is known in the industry as the highest quality of any brands available. The entire system was built under the guidance and instructions of one of Victron’s very own ambassadors.
● 400Ah BattleBorn Lithium Batteries
● 3000 Watt Inverter

There is no need to carry internal propane tanks as we built this conversion to completely run off of the battery power system installed; Everything from the induction cooktop to the electric water heater. This personally gives us peace of mind and eliminates the potential risk of carbon monoxide build up.
We’ve included 3 different ways to charge the electrical system to ensure you always have ample power –
● Shore power – Hook up to an electrical outlet at home or a campsite
● Solar – Charging while off grid from the sun
● Alternator charging – Charges the batteries while you drive

Espar D2L-S2 Diesel Heater –
This is an incredible resource to have on the road; it runs off the internal diesel tank and requires just 1 gallon of diesel every 24hrs which makes it a remarkably efficient way to heat the cabin in a matter of minutes
Maxxair Fan (7500 Deluxe) –
Running this quiet 12V fan while you sleep with the skylight window ajar will provide an excellent cross-breeze for a fresh night’s sleep.
The entire ceiling and walls are insulated with high quality Sheeps wool from Havelock – A New Zealand based company that provides a non toxic solution to insulation; with astonishing moisture wicking properties and a high R-value (Insulation rating system) this method of insulation is second to none.
Windows/Lighting –
Bringing natural lighting was an important aspect of design in this build. We opted for 2 rear windows and one large sliding door window that has the ability to open up while maintaining privacy. There is also a large Dometic Skylight over the bed (25’x19”); it can fully open up or be covered with the blackout blind.
All the windows have a custom cover, made from easily cleaned waterproof material, that effortlessly magnetizes to the frame of the window for complete blackout privacy.
