Amazing camper van maximizes space with clever boat design tricks

If you thought <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/camper-van/" target="_blank">camper vans</a> couldn't be elegant and cozy, think again. Jack Richens of <a href="http://www.thismovinghouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">This Moving House</a> converted a 2012 Mercedes Benz Sprinter into a roomy camper van that can accommodate a four-person family, providing a vehicle perfect for week-long beach holidays. Inspired by <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/boat/" target="_blank">boat</a> bunk designs, Richens added details like stacked beds to really open up the long wheelbase van and maximize space.

Richens and his girlfriend designed and converted a Mercedes Benz Sprinter.

There's a table between the original captain chairs so the family can sit down for dinner.

Ingenious storage beneath the floor provides a space to stash shoes.

Some of the chairs swivel so the family can gather together.

The kitchen includes a sink, cabinet space, counter space, and two burners.

Stacked beds offer sleeping space for four.

Boat bunk designs inspired the stacked beds.

This Moving House is taking commissions to convert other vehicles.
