We absolutely love their hexagon floor design that has drainage for rinsing your feet and showers. They’ve added a replaceable shower head to their sink and a hidden surround for a transformable bathroom. This way, it only takes up space when you need it—which is invaluable in a Sprinter conversion van.

Cam, Em, and Flynn have taken Sprinter van customization to the next level. They’ve kitted out their Sprinter van to be a kid-friendly home for the whole family to travel Australia.
