Methodically designed around space-saving minimalistic Japanese design, maximising living space and light using natural materials and tones. Four windows allow panoramic views throughout the camper and a large garage in the back gives you more quality space inside the living area. Kitted out with natural and eco-friendly materials reducing the use of plastics and harmful chemicals, mainly using reclaimed white oak from a wood-yard and water-based paints. 480W worth of solar power on the roof allows the van to be fully off-grid and can support two people working remotely. This also powers the Truma 4e water and air heating system. The conversion was built by Living on a Slant Ltd in 2021 with a few finishing touches added since.

LIVING
The main design and layout of the van are based on having maximum light and space. Reducing the number of overhead cabinets makes the living area more spacious and gives extra headroom to relax on the bed. Having 4 windows allows a almost 360-degree panoramic view when you’re in an idyllic location. The extra height also means that at 6’2″ I can stand up straight and dont end up with a sore neck/back from constant stooping! The seating area in between the windows can comfortably seat 3 people with storage underneath. The seating is made from firm density foam to last longer with removable and washable covers. The material is 50% natural cotton and 50% polyester making it durable and easier to clean. There is also a white oak pop-out table under the bed for eating/laptops/scrabble!
2 x Fiamma Premium Turbo Vent Roof fans
2 x 240v 3 pin socket, 2 x USB port located in the seating area
5 warm touch-sensitive dimmable ceiling lights for endless lighting moods
2 warm LED strip lights for brighter lighting environments
SLEEPING
There is a fixed bed with a memory foam mattress at the back of the van which houses a large garage space with an opening windowing allowing a breeze for those warm nights. This is also designed to store any clothes, food etc that doesn’t need to clog up your living space. The bed has an extension taking it from 160cmx160cm to an extra comfy 190cm x 160cm. There is a slight cut out of one of the corners allowing you to step on to the bed safely and easily. An additional single airbed fits snuggly in the aisle if needed. The opposing bench seats could be easily connected to create a 160cm child’s bed, and there’s also access between the living area and garage allowing space for a child’s bed or dog kennel.
WASHING
The open shower design allows the main space of the camper to open up letting in the maximum amount of light. It features a full-height large 760×900 shower tray with an elegant satin black shower mixer and hose. It has a removable Simploo toilet which simply unplugs and lifts out when having a shower. When the toilet is in use it has a built-in extraction fan getting rid of any odours. Please look at Simploo toilets for a video demonstrating how the toilet is used. The ceiling also has 2x Fiamma turbo 40 fans for ventilation when showering.
