Custom camper van conversion company Outside Vans has built Next Gen , a tiny home on wheels built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van.

Outside Vans was founded in 2007 by a man who had already been building vans for 30 years, according to Outside Vans. The team of over 65 people produces over 100 custom conversions annually with the purpose of bringing "people closer to nature."

The Next Gen van was built in 2019 for the company's founder to travel with his wife and three-year-old son. Outside Vans developed pieces of lightweight furniture and placed them strategically to balance the interior weight of the van.

"This van was specifically built with weight reduction and driving performance in mind," Outside Van's creative director Brian Jagodnik told Business Insider in an email. "It features a number of [research and development] components that are being tested while in the field."

Components being tested include the cot bed system, air conditioning unit, and "Arctic Tern windows." They are not available for other builds yet.
