Loft vs Scout
Two layouts, one foundation. The choice comes down to two questions: how you sleep, and what you carry.
MercedesStart Here
The Scout and the Loft start from the same place: the same chassis options (Sprinter, Transit, or ProMaster), the same road-ready Foundation — water, climate, power, refrigeration, exterior shower, toilet, induction cooking, and full cabinetry — the same marine-grade construction, the same 3-year structural warranty, and the same build process.
What changes is the bed. And the bed changes everything above it. A fixed bed opens a gear garage below and never needs setting up. A lift bed clears the floor by day to give you a full living space. Pick the one that matches how you actually travel, and the rest of the layout follows.
The Scout
The Scout is built around a fixed rear sleeping platform with a dedicated gear garage underneath — sized for bikes, surfboards, skis, tools, dogs, and bulky bins, and accessible straight through the rear doors. The bed never gets rebuilt: climb in, sleep, climb out, no daily reset. The forward galley stays clear for cooking and water.
It's the layout for gear-haulers who want their equipment to load fast and stay out of the living space — maximum storage, zero setup.
Starting at $89,850
Designed for two, expandable for up to five.
The Loft
The Loft puts an electric lift bed above a convertible lounge. At night, the bed lowers into a dedicated sleeping area. By day, it lifts to the ceiling and hands the floor back to you — a real living space to sit, cook, work, and stretch out in. It's the most premium, most flexible layout in our lineup.
It's the layout for travelers who prioritize daytime living space over bulky cargo — people who spend real time inside the van rather than just sleeping in it.
Starting at $114,350
Designed for two, with a lounge that converts.
