How did they fit a queen bed and shower in a 144" Sprinter van build? They achieved this inside the Sequoia + Salt LOFT layout by engineering a motorized East-West elevator bed mechanism paired with a hidden, magnetic inset floor shower pan. This clever spatial design preserves dual full-length kitchen galleys while delivering features typically only found in much larger RVs.
Welcome back to the channel! In this exclusive trailer tour and custom camper van build walkthrough, we head to Manasquan, New Jersey to meet up with Chris from Sequoia + Salt. Together, we take a deep dive inside their incredible new custom Mercedes Sprinter 144 wheelbase showcase. This build is engineered for high-end luxury off-grid living, packed with advanced off-road components, a 400W solar panel array, and a robust 460Ah lithium battery setup powered by Victron Energy.
If you love the freedom of RV life but want the maneuverability of a compact mobile home, this layout sets a new standard for modern sprinter van conversions. From the dual-tone bamboo cabinetry and fossil laminate finishes to the ingenious hideaway toilet tray and robust internal components, every single inch of this adventure vehicle has been maximized. We break down the pricing strategies, custom construction features, and how you can use their live interactive online builder tool to craft your own dream overland rig.
