The Signature SMT was introduced by Bürstner as a luxury motorhome built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis with a modular interior designed to maximize living space. The fiberglass-bodied vehicle features a raised front roof that accommodates a retractable drop-down double bed above a lounge formed by swiveling front seats and a bench. A full-width skylight illuminates the dining area, while the rear sleeping space can be configured with twin or queen beds. A sliding partition and retractable shelving system create additional privacy between the kitchen and bedroom when required.
The motorhome includes a kitchen with an induction hob, two extendable worktops, an electrically retractable storage shelf, and a refrigerated drawer with a 138L freezer compartment. A sliding bathroom wall conceals the sink to expand the shower area without increasing the vehicle's footprint. The camper accommodates up to four occupants and is equipped with a 150Ah lithium battery, a 200L fresh water tank, and an optional diesel heating system.
