Sequoia and Salt Vans has introduced the Super Lounger, a custom camper conversion built on a Ford Transit extended wheelbase chassis. The vehicle is designed to support long-term off-grid travel for two people while maintaining a stealthy exterior appearance.
Why it matters
The build focuses on maximizing interior comfort through a modular Murphy bed system and robust utility infrastructure. By using a standard exterior, the van aims to balance functional living space with an unassuming presence suitable for stealth camping.
The Super Lounger is built on a 148-inch wheelbase Ford Transit featuring a 3000W inverter and a 35-gallon fresh-water tank. It also includes a 20-gallon gray-water tank and a Quigley Q-Lift suspension package.
