Scarlett and Seth Eskelund are on their 12th van build, and the latest one is a culmination of everything they know about creating a stealthy motorhome. From the outside, this Ram ProMaster looks anonymous. Stepping inside reveals a modern living space with lots of hidden details.<\/p>\n
Opening the sliding door immediately reveals the elegant bathroom. There’s a skylight on the roof for enjoying natural sunlight while getting clean. The walls are Roman clay. A sliding door provides privacy and prevents water from getting into the rest of the cabin. The composting toilet hides behind a small door and slides out on a drawer.<\/p>\n
The rest of the living space has a warm color tone with lots of brown and beige shades. The couple extensively uses wood veneer throughout the interior, too.<\/p>\n
The kitchen features a clean and minimalist design that keeps the appliances hidden. The fridge is behind a wood-paneled door. A gas cooktop is in a drawer, and there’s a small toaster oven for other food preparation needs. The drawers and cupboards provide places for storing food and utensils.<\/p>\n
Two benches conceal neat details. One of them hides the litter box for the couple’s two cats. The other opens to reveal a bag for collecting dirty laundry.<\/p>\n
The rear area has a U-shaped couch with a swiveling table in the middle. This area converts into the bed, with storage underneath the cushions.<\/p>\n
The couple uses low-profile equipment on the roof to maintain the stealthy appearance. There are 600 watts of marine-grade solar panels that people can walk on. A\u00a0flat-mounted Starlink receiver is also up there. The air conditioning condenser is underneath the van, so it is out of sight.<\/p>\n
Motor1.com reached out to the couple for more details about building this van. We haven’t yet heard back from them.<\/p>\n
Stealth camper van builds seem to be increasingly popular. We recently saw a custom Isuzu box truck with an unassuming exterior and a luxurious cabin. A modified Mercedes Sprinter followed a similar design ethos and packed a kitchen and bathroom into a small physical footprint.<\/p>\n
