Why Fixed Bed
Most camper van layouts ask you to choose: either you sleep, or you carry gear. Either you set up camp every night, or you live with a permanent bed eating up your interior. Either you stow your bikes and boards, or you build them into the living space.
The Scout solves all three. The fixed rear bed never gets rebuilt — climb in, sleep, climb out, no daily reset. The gear garage underneath holds bikes, boards, skis, tools, dogs, and bins without bleeding into the cabin. The forward galley stays clear of everything but cooking and water.
It's a layout built for people who actually use their van — not for people who'll only camp twice a year.

What You're Paying For
A Scout costs what it does because we don't build to a price point. We build to a standard.
Mainstream RVs are designed to fit a national dealer model — fast assembly, proprietary systems, generic floorplans, locked into a brand's service network. When something fails in year four, you're back at the dealer.
Sequoia + Salt builds a different way. Solid construction. Industry-standard components — Victron power systems, 3M Thinsulate insulation, hardwood countertops, soft-close hardware throughout. When something needs attention down the road, any qualified RV or marine tech can service it. You're not locked into us.
You're paying for a van that's built once and serviceable for the next twenty years.
We've already engineered the van — you choose how it works for you.

Space Planning

Cabinetry & Interior
Every Scout is built around a modular cabinetry system designed for life on the road. Click any section to learn what's included.
Every Sequoia + Salt conversion begins with our durable cabinetry construction system designed for life on the road.
Upgrade options such as premium cabinet finishes and furniture-grade inset cabinetry are available during your design consultation.
Every Scout is built on a fixed cabinet structure. Your van platform determines the dimensions — the widths never change. You choose how the interior of each space functions.
Standard wheelbase (Sprinter 144, Transit 148, ProMaster 159): Always 34" wide. Interior configured as 18" sink base + 16" door with adjustable shelving.
Extended wheelbase (Sprinter 170, Transit 148 EXT, ProMaster 159 EXT): Always 58" wide. Interior configured as 18" sink base + 16" 3-drawer + 24" door with adjustable shelving.
Standard wheelbase: Always 56" wide. Interior includes 10" spice rack, 85L drawer fridge (upgradeable), and 24" 2-drawer cabinet with toilet compartment below.
Extended wheelbase: Always 78" wide with additional storage and configuration options. A 34" enclosed shower can be added — this deducts from the 78" allotment and adjusts the remaining cabinet configuration.
Standard wheelbase: Passenger side 31" · Driver side 56"
Extended wheelbase: Passenger side 55" · Driver side 78" (adjusts if shower is added)
A 30" forward-facing bench seat is available. It sits on the driver side forward of the bed — your passenger side galley and overhead cabinets are unaffected. Adding seating reduces your driver side galley to 24".
The structure is fixed. The interior orientation is yours to choose — confirmed during your build consultation.
A full galley system designed for everyday travel and off-grid use.
Upgrades available: larger refrigerators, dual burner induction cooktops, microwaves, expanded countertop systems.
The Scout prioritizes practical storage throughout.
Additional upgrades: wardrobe cabinets, pantry storage, gear drawers, and specialty equipment storage — customized to how you use your van.
A 30" forward-facing bench seat is available. It sits on the driver side forward of the bed — your passenger side galley and overhead cabinets are unaffected. Adding seating reduces your driver side galley to 24".
Finalized during your design consultation.
East West (Full Size) — Included on Transit & ProMaster

How It Works
We've engineered the layout, electrical, plumbing, climate systems, and structural design. You customize within that framework — finishes, materials, color, electrical capacity upgrades, optional features. Most of our customers pick Semi-Custom because the framework already handles the hard engineering work.
