The Stoke · Sprinter 144
A fixed east-west queen over a rear gear garage — built rugged on the Mercedes Sprinter 144.
MercedesThe Van
The Stoke is built around a fixed east-west queen bed, with side flares that extend it off the walls — long enough to sleep someone up to 6'5". It's a true fixed bed: always made, always ready. Underneath sits a full rear gear garage — real, muddy-gear storage for bikes, boards, and skis, with two rear garage boxes and an exterior drop-down table. A dual galley and a swivel-seat lounge round it out. This is the van built to get dirty and drive to the trailhead.

Why fixed-bed + garage
A fixed bed never gets built or torn down — it's made when you roll in at midnight and made when you roll out at dawn. Raise it off the wheel wells with side flares and it clears the width it needs while leaving the whole rear open underneath.
That open space is the gear garage. It swallows mountain bikes, skis, splitboards, and surfboards — the muddy, sandy, snowy stuff you don't want in your living space. Two rear garage boxes keep the smaller gear sorted, and an exterior drop-down table gives you a tailgate workbench. Throw it all in the back, close the doors, and drive.
That's the line between the Stoke and our lift-bed builds. The Stoke is fixed bed over a gear garage — built to get dirty. Want the day-lounge instead of the garage? See the Scout (144) or the Loft (170) — same idea, lift bed over a convertible lounge.
Who Is This For?
What's Included
The Stoke is one dialed-in build. Every Stoke leaves the shop with the same core: a fixed bed, a rear gear garage, a dual galley, a swivel lounge, power, water, climate, and a bath. The lines below are the actual spec, not a menu. Everything is built marine-grade — like a boat, not a house — with hard-shell laminate cabinets, a branded Victron control panel, and a garage zone finished to take a beating. Finishes vary; the base power, water, and heating systems can be built out with more capacity if you want it.
Fixed east-west queen with side flares that extend the bed — sleeps someone up to 6'5". Always made, always ready.
Rear gear garage under the fixed bed, plus two rear garage boxes and an exterior drop-down table.
Dual galley — a larger galley on the driver's side, a smaller galley on the passenger side.
Swivel front seats open into a driver's-side lounge facing the sliding door, with two 3-locker upper cabinets.
460Ah lithium system with a 3000W inverter and a branded Victron control panel.
20-gallon freshwater tank, exterior shower, and a slide-out cabinet toilet.
Diesel air heater and roof vent fan, with an 85L Isotherm refrigerator.
Marine-grade shell with hard-shell laminate cabinets, a marine leather ceiling, padded fabric walls, and a rugged garage zone.
The heart of the Stoke is a fixed east-west queen over a rear gear garage. The bed stays made; the garage stays open for your gear.
The Stoke runs two galleys — and cabinetry built to take the road, like a boat, not a house.
The two front seats swivel to open a driver's-side lounge — sit and face the sliding door with the outdoors framed in front of you.
The Stoke keeps the wash setup simple and rugged — clean up outside, stow the toilet inside.
Want to wash off inside too? An interior inset shower pan is one of the upgrades we build on request — it's a conversation, not a menu.
The Stoke runs on a 460Ah lithium system with a 3000W inverter, a 20-gallon freshwater tank, and a diesel air heater — enough for real off-grid weekends and comfortable three-season travel out of the box.
Want more? These are the systems we can build out. Step up from the base diesel heater to hydronic heat for four-season, full-time use, add an interior inset shower pan, or grow the battery and water capacity. It's a conversation, not a menu: tell us how you travel and we'll spec it with you.
No configurator, no tiers — the Stoke is one build. Your finishes, and any added system capacity, are dialed in with our team. Explore our builds →
This Is the Stoke
What you see here is one finish version of a fixed floor plan. The fixed bed, the gear garage, the dual galley, and the swivel lounge don't change — that's the Stoke. The laminates, the wall fabric, the ceiling leather, the flooring, the cushions and fabric, and the shower laminate are yours to pick. Love the layout but not the finish shown? That's exactly the kind of change we make. It's not a configurator — it's a conversation.

Stoke vs. the Mainstream
Most mainstream Class B vans are built like houses and assembled like appliances — stapled paneling, sealed proprietary systems, generic floorplans rolling off a line to hit a price. They look fine on the lot. The trouble starts around year four, when something fails and the only fix is a trip back to the dealer — and none of them are built to have a muddy bike thrown in the back.
A Stoke is built the other way around: marine-grade construction — built like a boat, not a house. Sealed, structural, and made to take vibration, weather, dirt, and real use for decades. Just as important, every system is one a qualified RV or marine tech can actually service — Victron power, hard-shell laminate cabinetry, soft-close hardware throughout. Nothing proprietary, nothing throwaway. You're never locked into us to keep it running.
And it's hand-built in a real shop. We're a Victron-certified, Aqua-Hot authorized facility in Manasquan, New Jersey — not a pop-up garage.
The difference comes down to one thing: a mainstream Class B is a mass-produced appliance. A Stoke is a hand-built, serviceable, marine-grade van from a real shop — made to outlast the loan, take a beating, and stay fixable for the next twenty years.
