A Van That Doesn’t Feel Like a Van
At VANNON, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter builds. Every custom van we create starts with one thing—listening. When this couple came to us with their new 170 AWD Sprinter van, they had a simple request: “We want a van that doesn’t feel like a van.”
They needed something spacious, intuitive, and perfectly tailored to their outdoor lifestyle. With surfing, mountain biking, and camping at the center of their adventures, we set out to design a build that felt more like a retreat than a rig.
Stretch Out, Lounge, Relax
Both owners are taller, so we scrapped the traditional east-west bed setup and went front-to-back. The result? Our signature Slouch Bed system—a full-length bed that transforms into a lounge, perfect for stretching out after a long day on the trails or hanging at camp with friends.
This isn’t just a bed; it’s a flexible living space that brings comfort to the heart of their van life experience.
Hidden Seating, Maximum Flexibility
Adventure often means friends tagging along, so extra seating was a must. Instead of eating into precious floor space, we installed a fold-away Freedman seat. It tucks neatly out of the way when not in use, and pops into action when it’s time to bring family or friends along for the ride.
Built to Handle Every Adventure
On the surface, this van looks clean and minimal. But underneath? It’s loaded. We designed it with a robust Victron power system, 32 gallons of heated fresh water, and the infrastructure for gear, storage, and future upgrades. Whether it’s rinsing off after a surf session, charging e-bikes, or powering camp for days, this van is ready.
Purpose-Built. Ultralight. Yours.
This build is the perfect example of the VANNON Difference—taking the time to listen, understand, and deliver a van that’s purpose-built, ultralight, and customized down to the last detail.
No two adventurers are the same. And no two VANNON vans are either.
