SERENDIPITY

This LWB Sprinter AWD was purposefully built for retirement adventures, with multiple month trips in mind and all season adventures to the mountains.

As an AWD Sprinter that wasn’t being uprated, keeping the finished conversion within a sensible weight to allow for carrying kit and electric bikes was one of the biggest challenges of this bespoke build. Every decision had to be considered carefully. The brief included having plenty of natural light and space to move around in the van when spending more time inside during cooler months.

The design is deliberately light and airy. Clean lines, neutral colours and an open connection through to the garage keeps the living area feeling calm and spacious.  Lightweight roller doors allow the garage to be closed off when required without adding unnecessary weight. We used Van der Moon components where possible to reduce weight, which allowed us to incorporate the side bars needed to make getting in and out of the higher AWD more practical. The bed ran lengthways in this van giving a huge sleeping area above the garage and saving  a little weight not having side pods fitted for transverse sleeping.

The garage itself was designed around the owner’s electric bikes, keeping the space clear and the kit easily accessible ready for the next adventure.  The long sofa was designed to allow for an occasional guest to sleep comfortably using the front swivel seat.

Lightweight by necessity and capable by design, Serendipity has already begun putting its capabilities to the test. 

Travelling through  Scotland and the Scottish Isles and also a tour of France. Currently in Guernsey, most likely Switzerland is next on the itinerary. This campervan enables longer adventures with no need to plan, freedom to travel on their terms.
