Introducing the Scout Build: a complete, highly functional van conversion designed for travelers who want generous storage, flexible living space, and room for additional passenger seating. It combines the complete Virtus Vans Basecamp Build with dedicated power and water storage, a convertible dinette bed, a countertop cabinet, extensive overhead cabinetry, and designated spaces for a toilet and seats.
The Scout makes the most of a 170" Sprinter by combining a comfortable dining and sleeping area with an open, versatile interior. The dinette converts into a bed when needed, while the additional seating space makes the layout well suited for families, groups, and travelers who want to bring others along
