Alpine Cross Cabin: Acoustic panels enchant this campervan

• Alpine, German manufacturer of navigation and audio systems, presents the Cross Cabin Concept Van in Stuttgart.
• The manufacturer is aimed at digital nomads who want to combine work and leisure.
• The premiere of the highly idiosyncratic study took place at the holiday fair in Stuttgart.

“With this study, we would like to address everyone who has been able to work in the home office or mobile office since Corona at the latest and would like to move their everyday work to a more inspiring place,” writes the German manufacturer Alpine about this new motorhome. Don’t miss the look inside.

The 6.70 meter long motorhome based on the Ford Transit differs significantly from all other campervans that we have seen so far. The interior design follows the principle of Japanese minimalism. Nevertheless, everything that is needed for living and working on the go can be found.

As soon as the sliding door opens, the eye sees the curved acoustic panels installed throughout the vehicle, which convey a homely feeling. Valuable storage space is hidden behind these unique panels. Of course, the sound specialist insists on hiding numerous speakers and the ambient lighting behind these panels.

Working on the Smart Table 32 inch TV

Various manufacturers of camping vehicles have recently been increasingly addressing the topic of “working on the move”. Sunlight has already presented a multimedia desk for digital nomads. Alpine installed a “Smart Table”, a retractable multifunctional table in the rear, which also serves as a dining table.

The table can be opened and accommodates a 32-inch screen for working. A keyboard also appears after opening it. The manufacturer’s router, which has access to external LTE antennas, establishes the connection to civilization. When the rear doors are open, a small terrace can be pulled out electrically and the view can be enjoyed from the table.

If the table is retracted, a spacious bed (140 x 200 centimeters) can be set up for two people. The completely gas-free superstructure also houses a kitchen with induction hobs. Of course, there is also a bathroom with a shower.

Up to three days self-sufficiency

The concept is designed so that you can camp for up to three days away from sockets or water connections. Solar cells on the roof provide the necessary electricity. All functions can be controlled via touchscreen. The fill levels can also be easily read off. Alpine also installs a smart rear-view mirror, which is also a reversing camera.
