Sprinter prototype layout


The old van ended up pretty much to plan minus some luxury items built-in, which were replaced by off the shelf portable items.

The new van is 1100mm longer.
  • I can turn the queen bed to sleep length-ways without smooshing it in.
  • A proper 900mm x 700mm (standard small size) shower fits behind the driver seat.
  • Seats are reduced to 500mm wide which fits an automotive bucket seat.
  • The table is reduced to 650 long instead of 900mm and will probably lift against the wall again.
  • The fridge is modeled to scale on a 12/24V camper fridge found at Jaycar.
  • I expect to use a 300mm wide two burner stove top similar to the cheap Divanti brand stuff.
  • The sink will be whatever fits in the remaining space of about 500mm.
  • A large access sliding door to the storage area under the bed will be repeated.
  • Cupboards above the driver may or may not happen. I like how open this van is.
  • Bed cupboards are 300x300mm for the full 2030mm length of the bed.
  • Space under the bed is ~900mm tall again to fit bikes. The Sprinter is ~100mm taller than the old van.
  • Kitchen overhead cupboards are 1350x400x400. Under-sink cupboards are whatever fits.

Old Transit van design. Sideways shortened bed.

Tiny-house Sprinter van. There are NO vans on planet earth with a build like this that fit EVERYTHING and has no "transforming" furniture to make stuff fit. Literally none. This will be a first on planet-crazy-humanz.
