Our family campervan Safari Sprinter has been a huge project in my life for the last few years. We started with a completely empty cargo van and have transformed it into our home on the road.
All the work on the van was done by myself with the exception of the flares. Just about everything is custom from the plumbing to the 24v LiFePo4 battery system. We try and get out in nature as often as time allows.
