When a client chooses to work with us, they are not just purchasing a custom-built Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. By stepping into our workshop in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, consumers become the owners of one of the best Class B recreational vehicles available on the North American market.
Since the company’s founding in 2020, Nav Camper has mastered the art of converting Class B vehicles. Our team, composed of three engineers and other industry professionals, relies exclusively on exceptional products and materials, designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions across North America.
It all starts with the choice of vehicle: thanks to its diesel engine and four-wheel drive, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is one of the most reliable in its category. That’s why we prioritize this model for all our upfits.
All our materials have been meticulously selected for their impact resistance, as well as their ability to withstand constant vibrations and the highly corrosive environments that RVs often encounter. This ensures the durability and robustness of our vehicles.
In addition to sourcing the best in lightweight, aerodynamic, and flame-resistant materials from around the globe, we also develop our own composites using materials manufactured in Quebec. This is particularly true of the panels we use for crafting cabinets. Combined with high-end materials like Formica’s FENIX, they offer an exceptional finish that, incidentally, delights our customers.
At Nav Camper, every material, every composite, every fabric has been tested time and time again before being installed in a vehicle. Whether in a humidified room or in a refrigerated environment (where the temperature does not exceed -40 degrees Celsius), all our components have undergone multiple resistance tests in extreme conditions. This is a non-negotiable step to earn our seal of quality and safety.
Furthermore, this commitment to safety begins with the installation of the interior structure. Before a Nav Camper vehicle is furnished, a galvanized steel frame is installed. This lightweight and strong framework is the foundation for securing the various pieces of equipment requested by the client. Special attention is given during the installation of the heaviest accessories in the vehicle, such as the water tanks and batteries. These components have their own ultra-resistant aluminum structure to ensure they remain securely in place, no matter what the road brings.
For the interior decor, particularly when it comes to selecting fabrics, colors, and textures, this aspect is handled by our talented designer. Using specialized tools such as 3D modeling, she creates the environment envisioned by the client, allowing future Nav Camper buyers to visualize their vehicle from the start to the completion of the conversion.
These technological tools are not only essential for the aesthetic aspect but are equally crucial for monitoring every step of the conversion process. Thanks to advanced modeling and the use of 3D scanners, we can identify potential physical and mechanical errors before production even begins. Our team can then respond and offer the best solutions that respect the vehicle’s center of gravity and any other constraints, which promotes better design while eliminating time wasted on the production line.
Speaking of production, we use high-precision cutting tools for each of our components. Whether it’s metal, wood, or composites, everything is crafted with great precision using state-of-the-art digital equipment. This significantly reduces waste, expands our design possibilities, and decreases our ecological footprint.
In short, our expertise and dedication to innovation place Nav Camper among the elite of recreational vehicles. We guarantee comfortable, practical, safe, and above all, enjoyable vehicles to drive, no matter the road. With Nav Camper, every journey becomes a memorable adventure, rich in discoveries and comfort.
Safe travels!
