THE BAXTER FLOOR PLAN
overview
The Baxter floor plan was designed by Bear Claw Vans for those vanlifers who want to get out, explore and adventure with the basic comforts of home. Enough room to carry bikes and skis in the “garage” under the bed, queen-sized bed, kitchen, ample storage for clothes and gear, outdoor shower with hot water, dry-flush toilet, heating, roof fan, bench seat with swivel table and the Baxter power system big enough to keep you off grid as long as you want.
Floor plan can be built on any chassis and is customizable to best suit your needs. See below for more detailed breakdown of the build plan and potential add-ons.

One of our most complex upgrades; adding a hydronic heating system to the van creates the maximum comforts of home. One of the best upgrades you can opt for especially for our winter enthusiasts
These systems keep your van (and feet) super toasty! The tankless on demand hot water means the only limit on how much hot water you have is the size of your fresh water tank!

Options for electric or hand-crank awning.
Adding an awning for your van creates a great shady space to hangout outside your van. It also can help keep the inside of your van cooler on sunny days.

Rear Ski/Snowboard Box

Built in-house; our 500lb 60 inch gear tray, coined the “Tailgunner 60” can be installed in the garage; gives you more convenient access to your bikes and gear
