Custom Build: Bivouac
Built on a Ford Transit 148, Bivouac takes a proven Redpoint layout and keeps it clean, bright, and efficient. A crosswise rear bed, side-door galley, front bench, hidden shower, and rear garage keep the van open while covering the routines that matter most: sleeping, cooking, working, washing up, and carrying travel gear.

Compact Full-Build Layout
Bivouac uses one of the most practical layouts for a compact Transit 148. It fits one to two travelers with clear zones for sleeping, cooking, sitting, showering, and storage. The hidden shower and full-height cabinet keep daily functions onboard without crowding the walkway or making the cabin feel chopped up.
Bench With Pull-Out Table
The front bench creates a compact living zone opposite the galley. A pull-out tabletop slides from the fix bed area, giving the bench a practical place for meals, laptops, or trip planning without adding a permanent table to the walkway. When it is closed, the aisle stays clear.
Hidden Indoor Shower
Bivouac keeps the floor plan open by hiding the shower inside a low box at the entry. Lift the lid, pull up the curtain, and the doorway area becomes a simple indoor shower. When packed away, that same box returns to everyday entry seating.
Rear Gear Garage
The rear garage was planned around ski gear. A dual-open garage door lets extra-long outdoor equipment extend forward into the cabin when needed, while the door can still close to keep the storage area clean, which makes outdoor gear easier to load and keep out of the living zone.
