THE RESERVE SERIES - FEATURED BUILD

‘Aina’

A bright, open, dual seating / sleeping layout for an outdoor enthusiast and travelling occupational therapist who loves to travel with friends

Mercedes Sprinter 170 Reserve build · 2025 20-week build

THE BRIEF

An occupational therapist, outdoor enthusiast and dog owner — and in the near future, a travel nurse. The immediate use case was long weekends and shorter camping trips. The future one was a full-time home on the road. The van had to work for all of it, within a defined budget.

Our client came in with a specific layout in mind: a rear lounge that seats four and converts to a queen bed for time when friends tag along; a front bench that doubles as a bunk and remote workspace; and an open center aisle that could take longer gear when needed.

Calm base-camp, with room for friends.

Dual lounge and sleep zones

Roomy rear lounge area perfect for entertaining, and converts to a queen-size bed. An additional bench seat at the front perfect for remote work and relaxation converts to single bunk for when there's company.

Open aisle for longer gear

Integrated, discrete tie-downs for when the kayak or bike are brought along.

Dedicated closet and pantry

Sizeable closet space and ample storage for longer stretches on the road when transitioning to travel nursing / remote practice.

Low maintenance shower

Easy pop-up interior shower solution the packs down small and stows away, keep the interior open and airy with room to move around.

Upgraded seating

Luxury, Scheel-Mann heated captain's chairs for superb comfort and adjustability on long drives.
