THE BEAST

This build was off of a 2020 Mercedes Sprinter 144 4x4 Low roof chassis for a retired couple preparing to travel the country. The customer wanted to integrate the use of a pull-kitchen to limit cooking inside of the van but still have a full sized kitchen galley should weather conditions not permit. The galley utilizes a large Isotherm drawer 130 fridge, a pull-out drawer for a porta-potti, and a teak countertop with a finger pull cutting board. We packed the garage with our standard 400 amp hour lithium Victron Energy power system and took advantage of the space made by moving the spare tire to the rear door with an auxiliary 20 gallon water tank to supply water to the pull kitchen. One of our favorite features of this build is the impressive off-road lighting supplied by Baja Designs.
