Matterhorn
This adventure van that was designed for a mountain biker and an active guy that loves adventure and extreme sports and sharing those experiences with friends and family. This van has an awesome roof rack by Aluminess that allows you to walk and lounge on top of the van and get the best views of all the beautiful nature. There are also 5 baja LP6 headlights and rigid rear and side puck lights that can turn a dark forest into a bright forest. To get to the roof we installed an electric skylight that opens a latch with the touch of a button. You can stand on top of the bed and climb right out. Furthermore it features a Fiamma F65 eagle awning that is electrically operated. With the push of a button the awning expands 8ft to create an awesome basecamp in seconds. No need to worry about setting up any legs or extra supports. After an intense run down the mountain you can pull up to your own shaded area, open the door and reach in for a cold drink in the large Isoterm cruise 130 fridge. The awning automatically retracts if it senses strong winds to avoid damage even when you’re not around. With specifically designed storage they can store their bike in multiple places. One option is to pull out the 60 inch wide bike tray that comes completely out of the van and has a capacity of 500 lbs. The tray has integrated L tracks to allow for mounting any bike mount at multiple positions and can store up to 3 bikes and be slid right back under the bed in one swift motion. The second option is to store 2 bikes on the rear Aluminess vertical bike mounts. This Aluminess bike rack is paired perfectly with the Aluminess ladder and spare tire carrier to complete the beefy back end look.
