Lounge Layout

Dual bench lounge — upgradeable to convertible dinette or U-shape lounge.

Designed for two. Expandable for up to five.
Every van is built around a couple or solo traveler — and engineered to grow with your family.

A straightforward, proven layout that delivers comfort and versatility without complexity. A great starting point for van life.

Dual Bench Sleeper (Base — Included)
