The Rossmönster Skye Van has been created by the Colorado-based outfit as a well-appointed vehicle that will accommodate all of the needs of backcountry travelers when heading out on their next trip. The vehicle comes in the form of a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for the base that has been completely customized with a variety of comfort features. This includes items like an off-grid lithium electrical system, hydronic in-floor heating, flexible furnishings to accommodate comfortable daily routines, a deluxe kitchen and more.

The Rossmönster Skye Van also puts a 12-foot countertop in the spotlight inside the cabin that is suited towards meal preparation, but also serving and tinkering with gear. The vehicle is priced starting at $249.983 and will be at the Overland Expo SoCal in Costa Mesa California that's taking place this weekend.
