Enjoy your next adventure in this fully converted Mercedes Metris that seats 4 and sleeps two adults and two kids (or three adults). This recent conversion by Gtrv features a bench seat that converts to a full bed, a pop top for two little ones (or one bigger one), a fridge, two-burner stove, sink with 7 gallon water tank, propane heater, solar powered electrics, including a 120V outlet with inverter, and shore power/water capabilities. 2 deep-cycle batteries charge from the engine or rooftop solar and keep you powered for days, even off-grid. This is essentially a minivan, meaning it handles like a car and parks in a regular parking space or garage. Comes with everything you need to hit the road and enjoy the great outdoors.What's included• two camp chairs

We had a great time camping in the RV. It was a quite dark sleep:). We moved the van around throughout the day to capture the sun and always had power.

I'm an adventure-mom, middle school teacher, and lover of the outdoors. Homer the Van is my dream come true and I'm so excited for the adventures my family will take in him and to share him with other like-minded folks. Camping, music festivals, campfires, beaches, woods, mountains, we love it all :)
