Our Camper Conversion
Dreaming of working on the road while exploring the world? We've designed the perfect layout for digital nomads - which includes a full mobile office and cosy home to fuel your adventures. Check out our guide to The Workspace Adventurer, our unique Sprinter Van Conversion Layout.
We're Kate and Mike, and in 2022, we bought a van to travel across Europe while working full time. Now, we're sharing everything we've learned along the way to help you create the same.
Take a Look Inside...
Measurement Guide
This is our first campervan and we designed it with working 9-5 jobs on the road. We love our unique layout, and we haven’t seen many like ours with the hybrid U-Sofa at the back, so we have decided to create a detailed guide and diagrams including sprinter van conversion floor plans of our LWB layout.
Whether you're already a keen Van Lifer, a design enthusiast, or someone seeking inspiration for your own campervan, this should help you on your way. Below we share the overall design of our Sprinter Van Conversion, The Workspace Adventurer.
The Kitchen
The campervan kitchen is equipped with essential appliances, including a huge 85L fridge, a versatile 3-hob oven & grill, a medium-sized sink and a tap providing filtered water. These elements combine to create a functional and well-equipped cooking space. There are two long counters giving you ample space. For us the kitchen was more than enough and we managed to cook up all our usual meals in there.

Toilet & Shower
A standout feature is our full shower room equipped with a composting toilet. This private space is constructed with three PVC panels supported by ply backing, offering both durability and functionality. Additionally, we've incorporated hanging space for coats and clothes.
Outdoor Shower
We also added an outdoor shower on the cabinet that overflows the sliding door as the plumbing was already in place for the sink.
Composting Toilet
We loved the ease of the Simploo Original. With no chemicals we found it easy to dispose of our waste as we travelled around Europe. The 6 litre pee bottle lasted us around 3 days. We opted to buy a second bottle for £15 to allow us to stay off grid for longer.
Raised Queen-Sized Bed
The bed is elevated at the back of the van, providing a separate area after a day of adventures. This Queen-sized bed is not just for sleeping; it seamlessly transforms into a dining area or a flexible desk space using the Lagun Swivel Mount. The cushions from the sofa area form the mattress, and the space beneath the bed serves as a generous hatch area for convenient bedding storage.
Now for the best part of the build. The U-sofa is raised allowing for a large storage area under the seating area. This gives you the luxury of a large garage, seating area and queen-sized bed!
Huge Garage
At the rear of the van, we've dedicated a garage space for adventure gear. This area ensures that outdoor equipment, from inflatable kayaks to hiking gear, is securely stowed, keeping the living area organised and clutter-free.

Office Spaces
When we designed the van we knew we both needed somewhere to work. Mike works a 9-5 London job while I (Kate) create the blogs and website. The layout has three dedicated workspaces strategically placed throughout the van. The first is the main office at the front of the van, the second space is our seating area at the back which has a swivel table and finally we have an outdoor standing desk.
