The Design Philosophy
Build Overview
"Oxford is a compact 144" high-roof 4x4 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter camper van designed to comfortably accommodate up to four people. Its smart interior layout combines an East-West power elevator bed, convertible dinette, medium full acrylic shower booth, and functional galley kitchen while maintaining plenty of usable living and storage space."
Design & Layout
Oxford is designed to make the most of a compact Sprinter layout. The power-operated East-West elevator bed sits above the rear dinette, allowing the same space to serve as both a comfortable sleeping area and a daytime living space. The interior features custom 1-piece plywood ceiling paneling alongside lightweight, ultra-durable shiplap-style plywood wall paneling crafted using CNC machinery. This construction eliminates veneer peeling, reduces overall vehicle weight for better fuel efficiency, and provides long-lasting structural strength against road vibrations. A dedicated medium full acrylic shower enclosure is positioned alongside the kitchen, while the rear dinette provides a comfortable space for dining, relaxing, and sleeping.
