Description

The Outback Explorer is made from high quality steel, black phenolic birch ply and stainless steel fixings. Our units are powder-coated with a fine texture coating to provide an aesthetically pleasing and highly durable finish. Along with extremely heavy-duty drawer runners and a super comfortable mattress, the combination of space optimisation and quality materials makes this conversion kit one of the most versatile, robust and aesthetically-pleasing additions to your van.

The memory foam mattress is handmade and upholstered using sustainably sourced recycled materials. The steel and ply parts are cut using CNC manufacturing techniques for excellent quality control assurances. Any sharp or rough edges are ground down and sanded respectively for a superior feel and outstanding functionality.

Configure your conversion kit to suit your needs. We provide options for colour matching and custom RAL colours, as well as useful add-on accessories, such as our top drawer integrated free standing table and our pre-routed cooker mounting board for dual hob installation. We have used ShadowFoam in our top drawer to help nest goods during transit, however, this is not something we supply. Take a look at our ‘Aftermarket Additions’ page within the resources section for more information.

Memory Foam Mattress

Our tailor-made memory foam mattresses are hand-sewn by British artisans. Collectively, we’re committed to producing quality, long-lasting products, whilst limiting our environmental impact. That’s why we’ve chosen to upholster our mattresses with a soft, yet extremely high-wearing machine washable recycled fabric that really does go the extra mile. We’ve also sourced a super comfortable recycled memory foam upper and combined it with a firm foam base layer for the ultimate nights sleep. Find fabric care information in the ‘Maintenance’ section of our resources page.

Powder Coating

All of our conversion kits are finished with an industry leading ‘fine-texture’ matt powder coating, providing unrivalled protection against the elements. Before painting, the powder is mixed with extremely fine particulates, which act to further reduce scratches, scuffs and fingerprint marking.

The Explorer’s standard colourway is black and anthracite, with the frame in black and the drawers in anthracite. However, feel free to customise your conversion kit by painting it in any RAL colour of your choice. This could be colour matching from parts on your van, keeping inline with your brand’s identity if you’re a business, or simply just your favourite colour! Select ‘Custom RAL Colour’ as you purchase and enter your custom RAL colour during checkout. Note: the frame will be in our standard black, but the you’re welcome to have the drawers and bed frame painted any colour you wish.
