Transit 148 Extended
A Transit 148 Extended with a convertible dual lounge, a full galley, and an interior wet bath.
MercedesBuild Overview
Camp Cruiser is a Transit 148 Extended built for two. Facing lounges run down both sides and convert for sleeping, the galley sits on the passenger side, and an interior wet bath is aboard rather than improvised outside. It sleeps two and seats two — a couple's van set up to work for part-time trips or full-time travel. It stays clean on the outside: no roof rack, no awning, no pop-top.
Power is a 920Ah lithium bank with a 3000W Victron inverter and 400W of solar. Thirty gallons of fresh water feed the galley and the bath, hydronic heating carries both cabin heat and hot water, and 12V air conditioning plus a vent fan handle the other end of the year. Refrigeration is sized to the layout, and the galley works off a drop-down table and an adjustable-arm table. The wet bath takes an interior shower and a bagged stowable toilet. Storage runs deep — underfloor bays, upper locker cabinets, and soft cabinets along the rear driver side. Hardshell laminate, bamboo countertops, marine-grade HDPE shiplap walls, durable flooring, and swivel seats carry the finish.
Like every build on our menu, Camp Cruiser is a proven layout you can make your own — pick your finishes, adjust the zones within the chassis, and we configure it around how you travel.

Serviceability
Every system in this van can be reached without taking the van apart. Service hatches behind the walls. Removable panels in the upper and lower cabinetry. Wiring runs in accessible trays, not sealed behind finished surfaces.
Van interiors get built like furniture. Ours get built like boats, where everything has to be serviceable because you cannot pull over in the middle of the ocean. Five years from now, when a pump or a fan needs attention, your builder will not have to cut into a cabinet to find it.
Available Today
Available today. Every layout we have delivered can be built again on a current chassis with current systems. The layout is the proven part. The parts list is always current.
Build Scope
Every layout is priced as an interior build on the van you bring us. Vehicle modifications, windows, pop-tops, roof racks, awnings, and drivetrain conversions are quoted separately, since every van arrives different.
