Thanks to their versatility, compactness, reliability, and ability to combine style with functionality, camper van conversions have become the go-to solution not only for adventurers seeking an affordable and comfortable way to explore new places but also for folks with a wandering heart who choose to live a simple nomadic van lifestyle.
Regardless of the situation, those in search of a home on wheels usually want a comfortable vehicle with everything they need for life on the road. They look for a mobile living space that can follow them anywhere they'd like to go and can unlock unforgettable experiences. This luxury handcrafted camper van designed and built by SSL Conversions can do all that and more.
Based on a 2019 Citroen Relay L4 H2, this camper van conversion is meticulously designed to make efficient use of the available space and offer comfort and style. It is both aesthetically appealing and highly functional for life on the road, offering both the freedom to explore the outdoors at your own pace and comfortable accommodation during travel.
Like many camper vans out there, this build boasts a self-effacing exterior appearance with a white paint job. Perhaps the only noteworthy features on the outside are the off-grid solar package on the roof and the all-terrain BFGoodrich tires on stunning diamond alloys. The interior, on the other hand, is packed with premium features.

Offering accommodation for two people, this van is fitted with an ingenious convertible U-shaped couch/queen bed configuration at the rear that serves triple duty as a lounge and dining area during the day and sleeping space during the night. It also includes a practical kitchen, an indoor shower cabin, and lots of storage solutions throughout.
Once you slide open the side door, you're welcome into a relaxed living space with a coastal-inspired design. The designers wanted to convey a sense of calm and peace through an open layout, an uncluttered ambiance, and various windows that let in oodles of natural light and give the space a simple, straightforward demeanor. The fresh, inviting atmosphere is accentuated by the choice of colors, with matt blue accents against a slightly neutral backdrop of white and natural wood.
There is no formal wall to isolate the van's front cab from the living space in the back, but a dainty stairs-shaped cabinet creates a sense of separation between the two areas. Next to it is a stylish bathroom with a spacious shower stall with rainfall shower head and Reco wall panels with real tile effect. The cabin also includes an LED-lit shelf for toiletries and a stow-away Thetford Porta Potti that can be removed when the owner needs to shower.

A luxurious kitchen occupies the center of the van and features generous storage and modern appliances that make cooking on the road a breeze. The elegant custom cabinetry boasts matt blue cupboard fronts and real solid oak wood countertops, showcasing excellent quality and elegance.
Apart from its aesthetic appeal, the kitchen impresses through its clever configuration that differs from what we're used to seeing in camper vans. There are two separate kitchen units on either side of the van, plus a full-height unit next to the bathroom that incorporates a Thetford duplex oven and an 80L 12v fridge.
While one of the cabinets serves for storage and offers generous workspace for meal prep, the other one comes equipped with an RV-style Thetford sink/cooktop combo with split glass lids that close separately for extra workspace or to facilitate cleaning. Windows with timber framing on both sides keep the space luminous, and eye-level upper cabinets add even more storage capacity. All in all, the entire setup is perfect for home-like cooking.
The rear of the van is dedicated to lounging/sleeping. The huge convertible dinette can seat up to five people and integrates lots of hidden storage underneath, cleverly freeing up space in the van for relaxing and socializing. The back area also includes upper cabinets that are basically a continuation of those in the kitchen.

The U-shaped lounge comes with a removable island table and a space-saving slide-out section that helps it transform into a comfortable double bed. Its convenient location at the back of the van means owners can enjoy the surrounding views while relaxing in bed by simply opening the doors.
To allow owners to explore off-grid locations and enjoy stress-free adventures, SSL Conversions equipped the van with a slew of convenient amenities, like a 270-watt solar panel, an underslung 83-liter fresh water tank, a 60-liter gray water tank, a Truma Ultrastore water heater, and a diesel heater.
Valued at £53,995 (approx. US $67,750), this luxury handcrafted camper van is now offered for sale.
