Explorer Conversion - Description

The Explorer Conversion is the toughest and most adventure-ready layout in our range. Built on the proven Signature 112cm architecture, it retains all the quality, practicality and comfort of the Signature series — then enhances it with heavy-duty finishes, outdoor-ready hardware and off-grid capability. This makes it ideal for customers who love travelling, exploring, mountain biking, paddle boarding, dog-friendly adventures, motorsport, or rugged all-weather touring.

This conversion seats 4–5 (depending on cab) and sleeps 4, using a 112cm RIB crash-tested bed and an Austops elevating roof with a 2-berth roof bed. The Explorer is designed around durability: Hex Ply furniture, Hex Ply door panels, and solid oak worktops all come together to create a long-lasting, wipe-clean, impact-resistant interior suitable for real-world use.

Safari-style opening windows improve airflow and visibility, and additional securing points have been added throughout the vehicle to safely store outdoor gear or equipment. The Fiamma F45 awning is included as standard to expand your outdoor living space.

Off-grid performance is a key strength of the Explorer. It includes a Planar diesel heater, solar panel with Victron controller, Victron B2B charger, and 110Ah leisure battery, ensuring reliable heating and charging wherever you travel. A 7” Savvy Van touchscreen provides modern control of the entire electrical system, and enhanced LED lighting brightens the interior.

The Explorer Conversion takes everything great about the Signature 112cm — practicality, usability and comfort — and equips it for tougher adventures, making it the perfect choice for those who want capability, durability and style in one package.
