Are you one of those who wish to literally carry their home with them when they travel? Alumivan, an Arizona-based campervan builder, has recently launched its latest camper Van, the Reverie 136" and the Reverie 159", with a luxurious interior and design with all the credit to aluminium.

We are well aware that the majority of the campervans are made of wood, but this company has completely changed our outlook by using aluminium as the key component in the construction process. Moreover, the company believes in maintaining a rock-solid body with high excellence in look, which is significantly possible with the effective use of aluminium. 

Why so? Aluminium helps in maintaining that sturdy strength and look of the campervan. Moreover, for having a luxury home on wheels, aluminium ensures lightweight features, protects against heat and is corrosion resistant and retains its dimensions. Additionally, material like wood would creak and squeak, but this is not the case for aluminium, ensuring a quiet environment for the travellers. 

Let’s deep dive into the interior of the recently launched campervan by the company, making it sturdy yet luxurious. The interior is roomy and bright, with an open layout and no separating wall between the living room and the driver's cabin. However, the look of the cabinets has been designed with an effective use of the extruded aluminium, giving a utilitarian look inside the van. 

The living space has a kitchen located right behind the driver's seat. The campervan also features a 25-gallon (94-litre) freshwater tank, a 2.5-gallon (9-litre) Bosch electric water heater and an outdoor shower for convenience. Next to the kitchen, there is a floor-to-ceiling unit which makes it perfect for storing clothes. Opposite to that is the seating area and the remaining space for the bedroom. 

The electrical system of the campervan highlights the use of a 460 Ah lithium battery bank with a 3,000 W inverter, 50-amp DC-DC charger, all controlled with the support of 400 W solar panels charged via a solar charge controller. An effective use of aluminium for the solar panel frames is being done by the company. 

Excited to know the price of these two campervans? The Reverie 136" will be sold at USD 46,000, and the Reverie 159" at USD 51,000. Since this is a custom project, the price of the campervans is not fixed and is subject to change.
