The mid-size shower we put in our own van builds.
After years of installing every shower stall on the market — and warrantying too many cracks, leaks, and rust spots — we started spec'ing our own. The Vankea 28" is the size most 144" Sprinter builds and tight ProMaster layouts end up choosing. Roomy enough to stand and turn in, narrow enough to leave wall space for the kitchen, closet, and bench you actually need.
Why we put this in our own builds
Most van showers fail in the same places. Fiberglass cracks from road vibration. Plastic stalls warp. Sealant lines split after a season of travel. We got tired of warrantying other people's products, so we built one we trust.
Aluminum panels, not fiberglass. Won't crack from vibration. Won't rust.
Powder-coated finish. Easy to wipe clean. Doesn't grow mold the way porous surfaces do.
Telescoping height. Adjusts to fit standard and high-roof builds — 73" minimum, extends to 78" (6'6") maximum.
Rear plumbing cavity. Water lines hide inside the wall, so the finished bathroom looks clean — not like a DIY project.
Flat-packs for shipping, bolts together with the included hardware. No custom fabrication.
Light. 53 lbs vs. 150+ lbs for comparable fiberglass units. Your van's payload thanks you.
Key Specifications
Width: 28" (720mm)
Depth: 26¼" at base, tapering to 24½" mid-height, 20" at top — width stays consistent front to back
Height: 73" minimum, 78" (6'6") maximum — telescoping, adjusts for standard and high-roof layouts
Weight: 53 lbs
Shower pan: 26½" × 29" × 5¼" tall
Entry opening: 23½" wide × 68" tall
Drain: Pre-cut for standard 2" RV/marine drains
Material: Full-body powder-coated aluminum
Door opening: Front-facing, works with roller or retractable shower doors
Plumbing: Integrated rear cavity for hidden water-line routing
Design: Engineered in the USA, manufactured overseas to our specifications
Will this fit my van?
Designed for high-roof full-size cargo vans:
Mercedes Sprinter — 144 / 170 / EXT high-roof models (a popular pick for 144 builds where wall space is tight)
Ford Transit — high-roof models
Ram ProMaster — high-roof models (fits flush against ProMaster's flat walls)
Before you buy, check that your van has:
Floor-to-ceiling clearance of at least 74 inches (room for the 73" minimum height plus mounting and the 5¼" pan)
Available wall width of at least 29 inches
Wall depth clearance of at least 27 inches (for the rear plumbing cavity)
Entry doorway clear of 23½" × 68" for the shower opening

The Reality of Van Life with a Full Crew: Why We Built the Duo XR
Picture this: You’ve just spent three days off-grid in the desert or parked by the beach. The scenery is unbeatable, but the reality of traveling with a full crew—kids, dogs, maybe even a cat—is officially setting in.
The kids are tracking in sand. The dogs are shaking off dust and jumping onto the seats with muddy paws. If you have standard black leather seats, you already know the sinking feeling. Every single grain of sand, dusty footprint, and dog hair is suddenly the loudest thing in your van. If you have standard vinyl, you're wincing every time the dog's claws dig in to get comfortable.
We know this because we’ve lived it. When you travel with three kids, two big dogs, and two cats, you quickly realize that most van interiors are built for photoshoots, not for real life. That is exactly why we created the NovaLux Duo XR Swivel Seat-to-Bed System.
We stopped asking, "What looks best in a showroom?" and started asking, "What actually survives a family road trip?" Here is how the Duo XR changes the game on the road:
The Drive: You're four hours into a cross-country haul. Instead of the typical foam-only van seat that leaves your lower back aching, you are riding on an active coil-spring structure. It delivers the kind of targeted body support you usually only get in a high-end captain's chair.
The Campout: You’ve finally parked. Instead of everyone cramming into the front, you pull the mechanical lever. The seats instantly glide backward on their tracks to open up floor space, and swivel a full 360 degrees to face the cabin. Suddenly, you have a cohesive living room.
The Cleanup: Somebody spills a drink. The dog shakes off a layer of trail dust. Instead of panicking, you just wipe it away. The heavy-duty brown/gray woven fabric is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and specifically color-calibrated to camouflage the inevitable dirt of van life.
The Night: When it's time to sleep, there are no blown fuses or dead batteries to worry about. A simple, zero-failure mechanical lever drops the seats completely flat, instantly transforming your passenger space into a 33" × 58" sleeping platform.
You don't have to compromise between a refined interior and a functional, life-proof cabin. Upgrade to a seat that actually handles the dirt, the dogs, and the miles.
NovaLux Duo XR Swivel Seat-to-Bed System. The flagship dual-chair configuration in the NovaLux line — passenger seating by day, a flat sleeping platform by night. Built around a heavy-duty, waterproof, kid- and pet-friendly woven fabric, an active spring support structure, and a full 360-degree swivel for builders demanding long-haul support and a life-proof interior.
About the Duo XR
The Duo XR sits at the top of the NovaLux range. Where the Duo RS gives you a strong daily setup, the XR upgrades the experience: featuring a heavy-duty brown/gray fabric engineered specifically for families, combined with an active coil spring structure instead of standard foam. Rigorously tested by our own crew of three kids, two large dogs, and two cats, this material choice solves real van life problems. We know firsthand that black leather highlights every grain of sand, dust, and footprint, and that pets can easily scratch standard vinyl. We selected this specific textile because it is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and expertly hides the mess while maintaining a premium feel. The internal springs provide targeted support on long drives and hold their shape through years of heavy use. With a full 360-degree swivel and a sliding base, each chair adapts instantly to forward-facing transit, rear-facing lounge mode, or anywhere in between.
Life-Proof Fabric. Waterproof, scratch-resistant brown/gray textile that expertly conceals sand, dust, and footprints for a worry-free, family-ready cabin.
Coil-Spring Support. Underlying active coil structure delivers targeted body support, eliminating the "sinking" feeling of foam-only builds on multi-hour drives.
360-Degree Swivel & Slide. Each chair rotates a full 360 degrees and glides on its attached base for precise fore/aft positioning.
Mechanical Lever Operation. Manual steel levers control recline, slide, and swivel — zero electrical wiring, zero power draw, and zero electronic failure points.
Multi-Stage Recline. Converts smoothly from upright transit seating to a relaxed lounge angle, down to a fully flat bed.
Frame-Mounted Seatbelts. Integrated 3-point belts anchored directly to the reinforced steel frame.

Features & Design
The Duo XR is engineered for builders who want a rugged, family-ready interior and flexible cabin orientation without electronic complexity.
Long-Haul Endurance: The combination of coil springs and breathable, heavy-duty fabric over high-density foam prevents driver and passenger fatigue on multi-day routes.
Instant Cabin Reconfiguration: Full rotation lets each chair face forward for transit, rearward for lounging with the rest of the cabin, or sideways for galley conversations.
Sliding Base: Each seat glides forward and backward on its base—instantly open up legroom, adjust sightlines, or clear floor space for bed conversion.
100% Mechanical Controls: Mechanical operation throughout. No power draw, no wiring runs, no blown fuses.
Family & Pet-Ready Finish: Waterproof, scratch-resistant surfaces built to handle kids, dogs, and muddy gear while maintaining a clean aesthetic alongside your interior build.

The NovaLux Solo CPT is a fully motorized 12V captain's seat built for camper van and custom conversion builds. It includes heated seats, ventilation, a built-in massage function, and dual USB-A/USB-C charging on the side console. The 20" seat base is sized to fit standard van aisles without crowding cabinetry.
About the Seat
Most van captain's chairs come from one of two places: rigid utility seats or oversized motorhome chairs that eat your aisle space. The Solo CPT sits between those — a motorized seat with full electric adjustments, sized for van clearances.
Sized for vans: 20" seat base fits between Sprinter, Transit, and ProMaster wall liners without blocking the aisle or galley.

The NovaLux Duo GT is a versatile double seat with seat-to-bed conversion for camper van builds. Designed by van builders for van builders, the Duo GT was built to solve the family-fit problem. Whether you need a passenger row or a 63-inch sleeping platform, it can slide, recline, and expand to fit your layout.
The Story: Built for the Van Life Reality
Most double seats are designed for motorhomes, leaving van builders with bulky benches that don't fit a modern floor plan. We spent years in the shop realizing that builders needed a seat that was actually versatile. We designed the Duo GT to solve the most common builder headaches:
Adjustable Width: Unique to the Duo GT, the seat width adjusts by up to 6 inches to give you the right aisle clearance for your cabinetry.
Seat-to-Bed Conversion: Reclining backrests transition into a flat 63-inch sleeping platform — a foundation for your bed system.
Dual-Passenger Comfort: Dual adjustable footrests and ergonomic support for everyone in the back.
The "GT" represents long-haul comfort. From breathable upholstery to the powder-coated steel frame, every detail was thought through by the team at Big Bear Vans.

The NovaLux Solo GT isn't just another RV seat — it's the solution we built because what we needed didn't exist.
Designed by van builders for van builders, the Solo GT was built to solve the "family fit" problem. Whether you're working with a compact mid-size van or a full-size high-roof build, this seat slides, reclines, and gives you a comfortable spot without eating up your floor plan.
The Story: Built for the Van Life Reality
Most RV seats are designed for motorhomes, leaving van builders with bulky options that don't fit a "family-first" layout. We spent years in the shop realizing that builders needed a seat that was actually versatile. We took matters into our own hands to design a seat that accounts for every inch:
Small Van Friendly: Narrow footprint so you can keep your aisle space and cabinetry.
Builder-Grade Customization: We chose the materials, colors, and leg-rest mechanics to stand up to off-grid use.
Slide & Recline: Adjustable in tight quarters, giving your passengers a captain's chair experience even in a DIY build.
The "GT" (Grand Touring) represents long-haul comfort. From breathable upholstery to the ergonomic leg rest, every detail was thought through by the team at Big Bear Vans.
What's in the Box? (Build Your System)
Every van layout is unique. We've made our mounting system modular so you only pay for the hardware your specific build needs. Note: Our hardware is engineered specifically for the NovaLux seat and is not sold separately for other seat brands.
Solo GT Seat (Core): Includes (1) Solo GT Seat with integrated 3-point seat belt and adjustable leg rest.
+ 360° Swivel Base (Optional Add-on): Add this if you need the seat to rotate for a "living room" layout. Includes heavy-duty ball-bearing rotation hardware.
+ Floor Track Mounting System (Optional Add-on): Add this for a secure floor-mount installation. Includes reinforced aluminum rails.
