Equipments

We are proud of the bed system in every way.

Matelas Princesse in Montreal offers high quality mattresses – entirely custom-made for this project, with the highest comfort standards.

IKEA’s bed system customization allowed for two different bed heights.
The high position gives access underneath to the twin bed and accommodation for bikes in the tray.
The low position frees a whole living space in the queen bed area, allowing to sit straight while reading a book comfortably for instance.

An essential part of Navire’s unique systems and space optimization design, they allow extra bed length for vehicle width sleep position.

Montreal-based company Fosk are very good at what they do, which is in this case an amazing custom made stainless steel shower base, the perfect size for our needs.
Riobel is a local quality water appliances producer. This shower choice allows for an adjustable shower head.

A deep sink with the right dimensions is a must when washing dishes in limited space, this is why Torva’s 10 inch deep stainless steel sink with all its accessories was an easy and optimized choice.

The german company Eberspaecher is the king of the RV heating systems world.

Self-Heating Lithium Batteries for Canada’s cold weather will prevent potential issues and damages when charging below zero.
Lithium technology in batteries revolutionized the available power per weight in campers.

The van’s roof available space was completely optimized with 4x100W solar panels. 
Combined with the MPPT charger, they gather the sun’s sustainable energy while the camper remains stationary. 

Connected to the vehicle’s battery, this high-end unit efficiently charges the house lithium batteries while the vehicle is on the road.

The only system which could still be optimized, due to limited available space.

2000W is plenty enough energy to operate all units independently. Nevertheless, it does not allow two powerful units to operate at the same time, unlike its 3000W version.

Nevertheless, we are proud to use this high quality Inverter Charger from reliable company KISAE, who has cumulated over 100 years of experience.

This unit’s compact size allowed to accommodate the van with a handy microwave.

Induction technology is absolutely ideal inside a van. It prevents the cooking surface from getting hot, all while consuming power efficiently.

The Maxxair Fan, located right in front of the shower and over the countertop is of great use for humidity control while the shower is running and food is being cooked.
The Sirocco fan is 360 degree adjustable and centrally located.
Both fans operating together will create very efficient airflow.

Thetford’s Porta Potti 565E Cassette Toilet is a great solution for life on the road. While it can be removed altogether if unrequired for the rental, its easy-to-use design allows to unlock and unload in any designated RV area, or a public toilet. 

Both windows were selected for their ability to open during stormy weather. They can effectively maintain their key function, combined with the fans, to sustain optimal airflow in all conditions.

Arctic Tern Window blind allows intimacy and blackout and both windows are equipped with a mosquito mesh.
