The Wren
Rear-wheel drive / Medium wheelbase
The shortest of the four. Easy on a lane or a ferry deck, and simpler to keep at home.
Floorplan drawing to come
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter conversions, handbuilt to order on the Isle of Man. Only a handful of people a year will own one.
A handful a year, each one specified with the people who will travel in it, and numbered in sequence.
Four lengths and drivetrains, plus The Nest elevating roof.
Westpoint, Exeter, 21 to 23 November 2026.
A Rockhopper is specified the way a fine house is: around the people who will live in it, with materials chosen for how they age and systems built to be forgotten about.
We build a small number of conversions each year. That is not a limitation. It is the point.
Every Rockhopper is designed with its owner, priced in writing before work begins, and handed over with a full record of how it was made.
Every one is built on a new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and finished the same way. Choose the length you need and whether you want drive to all four wheels.
The shortest of the four. Easy on a lane or a ferry deck, and simpler to keep at home.
The same van with room to stretch: a longer galley, more storage, a fixed bed across the back.
Compact and sure-footed. Forest tracks, wet grass and winter passes without the extra length.
The one that goes furthest. Full length, all-wheel drive, and the capacity to stay out for weeks.
An elevating roof with a bed above, available on any of the four. It adds a second sleeping space without adding a metre to the van.
Roof racks, decks and ladders are specified with the rest of the build. Prices for every Rockhopper are on application.
Walnut, natural linen, honed stone and satin bronze inside, chosen for how they wear over years rather than how they photograph on day one.
Underneath, the same short list of components you would find in the best expedition and marine builds, specified for real independence rather than a weekend away.
A short list of materials, used throughout. Nothing chosen because it photographs well on day one. The panels below are colour studies until the samples are shot.
Our veneers come from Mundy Veneer, who hold over nine hundred natural and dyed veneers and check every leaf before it is sent. You choose yours from samples, in your hand, before anything is cut.
Panels are book-matched, so the grain opens outwards like a page turning and carries through from one door to the next. It is the difference between furniture and fitted boards.
Every Rockhopper carries a single hand-inlaid panel made from shell or eggshell by Nature Squared, whose work is found in superyachts, private jets and the interiors of Rolls-Royce and Montblanc. [Subject to agreement]
No two panels are alike, because no two shells are. Yours is chosen with you, laid by hand, and recorded against your build number.
The first Rockhopper is being built now, and recorded as it goes. Most of what follows will be invisible by the time it is finished.
Where every Rockhopper starts, and the measurements everything else is cut from.
Every circuit labelled and documented, so a fault in ten years is an afternoon, not a rebuild.
Cut on a CNC to the millimetre, trial-fitted, then taken out again to be finished by hand.
Four stages, one point of contact throughout, and no work started until you have approved every detail in writing.
How you travel, who with, and what matters most. No obligation.
Layout, materials and systems, with a written proposal and clear pricing to approve.
Typically 8 to 12 weeks, with photographs and staged inspections at each milestone.
A full walkthrough of every switch, valve and circuit before you drive away.
The first Rockhopper makes its debut at Westpoint, Exeter. Arrange a time with us and you will have it to yourself for a proper look around.
