The Carrve Custom Vans GFR is the ultimate gear-focused rig for adventurers who demand both function and comfort. Whether you’re camping remotely, slashing powder turns, ripping singletrack trails, or twisting the throttle, this custom van conversion is built to keep up with your lifestyle.
This build is available in Mercedes Sprinter 170, 170 EXT, or Ford Transit 148 Extended, and combines a comfortable living area, efficient kitchen galley, and — most importantly — plenty of space for all your gear. With a full water system and off-grid power setup, the GFR supports extended trips, giving you the freedom to stay off the grid longer.
Check out the video above, where Ken from Carrve walks through the GFR layout in a Mercedes Sprinter Van, showing how every element is optimized for people who need space, functionality, and style.
A Gear-Focused Layout
The GFR is built from the back forward to maximize gear space without sacrificing comfort:
- Narrower kitchen galley: The custom-designed 16” kitchen galley provides room for two dirt bikes side by side, multiple mountain bikes, skis, snowboards, and other gear. It also gives you space if you need to gear up inside to escape the weather.
- Chest-style fridge, three drawers, and sink for on-the-go cooking and cleaning.
- 20 gallons of fresh water and 5 gallons of gray water storage, with water fill and outlet for spray nozzle, shower head, or pressure washer.
- Mixer valve for hot and cold water ensures comfort during extended trips.
Above the galley, there’s five feet of overhead storage and under-cab lighting to illuminate your prep area.
Organized Gear Storage
The GFR-170 garage is designed for custom van conversions that need versatility:
- Vertical and horizontal L-Track for modular gear mounting
- Our custom Boot holders, helmet mounts, gear hangers, and storage shelves for gear organization
- Keeps gear secure, accessible, and organized during travel
This setup is ideal for moto vans, ski vans, or mountain adventure builds, making it easy to load and unload equipment while keeping the living space clean.
Comfortable, Functional Living Area
Up front, the GFR includes:
- Bench that folds into a bed for comfortable sleeping or lounging
- Table and swivel seats for dining, working, or socializing
- Overhead shelf and five feet of storage for essentials
- Backrest storage for table and easy bed setup
- Open layout allows movement from the front to the back, with a partial wall providing separation while keeping gear, kitchen, and living space easily accessible
The GFR is designed to be spacious and versatile, making it perfect for getting out of the elements, relaxing after a day of adventure, or catching up on work or sleep.
