Elijah – 4 Birth - Mercedes 709D - House truck

Our beautiful home on wheels "Elijah" is a house on wheels. We built it out over the course of the year in 2019. As it is on a chassis rated to carry 7.5 tonne, no compromise was made when building out the van to be as homey and as comfortable as possible!

The vehicle itself is a 1992 Mercedes 709d. These vehicles are renowned for being build solid and pretty much unstoppable, the engine itself is known as the million mile engine because you guessed it, they have been known to cover over a million miles. This one however, being a house truck, has only covered 38,000 miles!

The inside as you can see from the photos is a cosy fully fledged tiny home with everything you need to live comfortably. We have used beautiful English hardwoods such as Ash and Oak throughout. The wet room has a slate floor and real subway tile walls. It has the option of a rainfall shower head or wand!
The sofa cushions have been upholstered in a lovely comfy herringbone fabric. We have handcrafted bespoke window surrounds which really highlight the smaller sized windows which we chose for security and privacy reasons. I will make a list now of every thing else worth mentioning..
