| Ford Transit Custom | L1 |

| Other medium L1 vans | Check the Van Selector |
The Adaptable Cruiser is for medium L1 vans without a model-specific version, or if you’ve changed the wall profile of your van. The side table unit and the K5 rear kitchen adapt to your van’s walls, rear door pillar and wheel arch with a few simple jigsaw cuts, and the Slide bed may need a short cut or two, marked by you.
Driving a VW Transporter T5/T6, a Renault Trafic 3 or a Peugeot Expert / Citroën Jumpy 3? We make model-specific versions for those, with the side table unit and the K5 already cut to fit your van. Not sure? Find your van in the Van Selector.

Features
- Bench by day. Big bed by night. An L-shaped sofa that’s always there, and a bed in about 30 seconds.
- Sit on your supplies. The bench keeps a cooler up to 20 L in a ventilated compartment and a Eurobox-sized dry camping toilet. Lift the lids, or open the end door from outside.
- Cook with the back doors open. A two-burner stove sits on the K5’s top drawer, mounted on runners. In the Cruiser, the side table unit limits its opening to 45 cm.
- A worktop that pops up outside. Open the rear doors and pop up the 59 x 37 cm worktop. It also opens a 15 to 20 cm cubby behind the fridge for a bin or supplies.
- A home for your fridge. A ventilated space under the K5 for a 50 L front-opening fridge, so cold drinks are always within reach of the stove.
- A table in seconds. Pop up the 46 x 43 cm table for meals, coffee or your laptop.
- Storage you can reach at night. Two of the side table unit’s three doors still open with the bed pulled out.
- Fits more vans. Straight edges on the side table unit and the K5, so they adapt to your van’s walls with a few simple cuts.
- Light by design. About 55 kg for the whole kit, so your van keeps saving you money at the pump. Delivered raw to oil, varnish, paint or leave natural.

What does the Cruiser Adaptable do?
The Cruiser turns a medium L1 van into a basecamp with three units. By day, the Slide Standard Bench is an L-shaped sofa with a cooler and a toilet tucked inside, and the side cabinet pops up a table for two. When it’s time to eat, swing open the back doors: the K5 rear kitchen fits a stove on its top drawer and has a worktop that pops up so you can cook outside.
At night the bed pulls out in about 30 seconds, and two of the side table unit’s doors still open beside it. On the Adaptable version, the side table unit and the K5 have straight edges, ready to adapt to your van with a few simple cuts.

Your questions before you order
Medium L1 vans without their own Cruiser version, like the Ford Transit Custom or Mercedes Vito. We make model-specific versions for the VW Transporter T5/T6, the Renault Trafic 3 and the Peugeot Expert / Citroën Jumpy 3. Not sure? Check the Van Selector before you order.
A few. The side table unit and the K5 rear kitchen take some simple jigsaw cuts to follow your van’s walls, rear door pillar and wheel arch, and you mark any cuts on the bed yourself. Please note: furniture that has been cut is no longer eligible for our Satisfied or Refunded guarantee.
If there’s a version for your van, choose it: the side table unit and the K5 are already cut to fit your van. Choose Adaptable for any other medium L1 van, or if you’ve changed the wall profile of your van.
Yes. Open the rear doors and pop up the 59 x 37 cm worktop, and the K5 becomes an outdoor kitchen.
The K5’s top drawer takes a two-burner camping stove up to 60 x 33 x 15 cm, like the Campingaz Camping Cook; in the Cruiser, the side table unit limits its opening to 45 cm. Underneath, it takes a 50 L front-opening fridge, like the Dometic or Carbest 50 L models. The bench takes a cooler up to 20 L and a Eurobox-sized dry camping toilet: practical for winter trips, festivals, or simply not wanting to worry about where the next service stop is. None of these are included.
No. The Cruiser mattress is sold separately and is cut to fit the bed beside the side table unit. Add it above. Simple Vans mattresses come in one colour, heather grey.
Yes. The bed takes a Gliss 70 drawer under each of its two 70 cm sections, opening from the side, for €99 each. Please note: our quick-release fixing kit is not currently compatible with Gliss drawers.
Yes. The Deluxe comes with the Standard Water Kit, and you can add it to a Standard Cruiser later, for €279.
