There’s nothing more American than the allure of the open road. Being able to go anywhere, see anything, be anyone—it’s about travel as finding the space within which to reinvent yourself. For some travelers, that’s a whole lot easier if you’ve got a comfortable space to take with you. If that’s you, and you’re looking to take your #vanlife to the next level, Cubist Engineering has just the upgrade for you.
It’s called The Sturgis, a 21.5'x8.5' studio suite on wheels. It includes a bathroom with outdoor shower, a full kitchen and stove top, refrigerator, and, of course, the kitchen sink. The whole thing is done up in gorgeous-looking wood, from the Douglas Fir walls and ceiling to the solid walnut cabinet doors and shelving.

You also get white oak flooring and LED lighting throughout. The coffee tables are customized in steel and walnut. Sleeping quarters include a modular sofa and a queen-sized bed that stores in the ceiling.
Then there’s what gives The Sturgis its name: a customizable “obsession space” for storing—well, how about your motorcycle or wine collection? Or a walk-in closet? Whatever you put in there (your most essential comic books?), it’ll be accessible by a massive gull-wing door operated by remote.
Built as a showcase unit for an episode of HGTV, The Sturgis would normally cost $100,000, according to Cubist Engineering. Right now, though, they’re clearancing it out for $75,000. The company says it’s likely to go quickly, and honestly, giving how tempting it looks, they’re probably not wrong.
