With only 6.5 meters in length, the Sprinter motorhome Position 6.5 brings a living room for five people, a spacious bed, a complete bathroom, internal and external kitchen, robust solar energy, and autonomy designed for long trips without exaggeration.

The 2025 launch of the motorhome Position 6.5, developed by Partner Custom on a single wheel chassis Sprinter 417, features an economical proposal, fuel consumption of up to 9 km per liter of S10 diesel, advanced energy autonomy, and a European layout in a 6.5-meter vehicle.

Concept, Chassis, and Proposal of the Position 6.5 Model

The Position 6.5 was conceived as an economical motorhome, utilizing the single wheel chassis Sprinter 417, a solution that improves road performance, reduces consumption, and maintains stability even with a high level of onboard equipment.

According to the plan, consumption can reach 9 km per liter on S10 diesel, reinforcing the proposal of operational efficiency for long trips, without sacrificing comfort, electrical autonomy, and complete mobile housing solutions.

The total length of 6.5 meters allows for easier urban circulation and access to restricted areas, while still maintaining an internal layout capable of accommodating up to five seated people and four for sleeping.

External Design, Aerodynamics, and Visual Identity

Externally, the model stands out with custom paint featuring a three-dimensional effect, applied across the entire side of the vehicle, reinforcing a unique visual identity aligned with the aesthetic standard of the Partner Custom line.

The Slim alcove installed on the roof reduces the final height of the vehicle, improves aerodynamics, and protects the upper equipment, contributing to lower drag and better efficiency during road trips.

Even with the alcove, the vehicle maintains a final height of under three meters, already fully prepared, a relevant factor for urban access, parking, and travel in areas with height restrictions.

The roof incorporates a front panoramic solar roof, responsible for increasing the entry of natural light, cross ventilation, and air renewal inside, enhancing the feeling of visual amplitude.

Functional External Structure and Areas of Use

The Position 6.5 features entry steps on both sides, driver and passenger, facilitating access and circulation, in addition to a fully electric awning with no visible arms, activated directly from the internal panel.

Once opened electrically, the awning can be stabilized with supports on the ground or side brackets, ensuring structural firmness under different weather conditions during external use.

Under the awning, the vehicle offers a 3 kg imported washer and dryer, allowing for laundry outside, protected from the sun or rain, enhancing autonomy on long trips.

External Kitchen, Storage Compartment, and Rear Solutions

On the external side, the motorhome has an external kitchen with a single burner stove, sink, lighting, and outlet, allowing food preparation outside the vehicle comfortably and practically.

The rear storage compartment is spacious and accommodates up to two bicycles by removing the front wheel, as well as hoses for drinking water, wastewater, power cable, and auxiliary equipment.

The vehicle includes a towing hitch, hydraulic jack, manual awning crank, and compartments with reinforced chrome locks, ensuring security, ergonomics, and ease of access to the systems.

Solar Energy, Climate Control, and External Infrastructure

On the roof, the rack holds two 450 W solar panels, totaling 900 W installed, with additional space for another 400 W, allowing for up to 1,300 W of solar generation.

The system includes a digital TV antenna, 12 V air conditioning on the roof, and lateral protection provided by the rack itself and the solar panels positioned on the upper line of the vehicle.

Externally, there is dedicated access to the cassette toilet, with easy removal, hot and cold shower, 16-liter digital water heater, and direct water input with an automatic float system.

Service Side, Batteries, and Electrical Control

The left side of the vehicle concentrates the service systems, including access to the toilet, heater, gas bottle, water inlet, electrical input, and battery bank.

The 2025 model already includes 300 Ah of lithium batteries, with a Tecnomanster TM41 4,000 inverter, charging via alternator through the GCA and integrated solar management.

The system allows for additional expansion of up to 200 Ah, providing high electrical autonomy, in addition to protective switches that easily disengage in case of maintenance or electrical events.

Living Room, Internal Layout, and Social Area

Internally, the Position 6.5 surprises with its European layout, with a living room capable of comfortably accommodating five people, while keeping a clear side corridor and fluid circulation throughout the vehicle.

The rotating table can be repositioned or removed during the trip, being stored behind the sofa, without interfering with movement or everyday use of the internal space.

Custom dinnerware from Partner Custom features dedicated fittings, ensuring stability during travel, while deep upper cabinets increase storage capacity.

Electrical Panel, Monitoring, and Internal Climate Control

Above the entrance door, the electrical panel concentrates main circuit breakers, pump controls, antenna amplifier, awning opening, and complete monitoring of the energy system.

The Tecnomanster system reports solar charge, alternator charging, water level, battery health, and estimated autonomy, providing precise control of energy operation.

The 12 V air conditioning system with 8,500 BTUs operates as both an air conditioner and a fan, consuming around 50 Ah in daytime mode and 25 Ah at night, optimizing energy efficiency.

Internal Kitchen, Appliances, and Storage

The internal kitchen in L-shape features a stainless steel sink with hot and cold water, black formica countertop, two-burner stove with glass lid, and a large work surface.

The set includes an oven with air fryer and external ventilation, a 20-liter microwave, and a 12 V duplex refrigerator with a lock for travel, enhancing culinary autonomy.

Upper and lower cabinets are completely free, without internal components, ensuring maximum use of space even in a compact vehicle.

Bedroom, Bed, and Rest Solutions

The double bed measures 1.95 meters by 1.30 meters, offering ample space, with an illuminated headboard, outlets, switches, and a window measuring 1,200 by 500 millimeters.

Under the custom mattress, there are lower niches, spacious trunks, and a dedicated compartment for dirty clothes, accessible directly from the bedroom or by lifting the mattress.

The layout allows for a complete view of the vehicle from the bedroom, reinforcing the sense of spaciousness and integration of environments, even in a total length of only 6.5 meters.

Bathroom, Toilet, and Hydraulic Comfort

The bathroom has a length of about 1.10 meters, a sliding door, a spacious cassette toilet, an electric towel dryer, and lighting in the baseboard and ceiling.

The shower includes a click drain, fixed and movable showerhead with hot and cold water, a single handle, and a recirculation valve, allowing for comfortable use even for children’s baths.

The skylight with an exhaust fan completes the space, ensuring efficient ventilation and moisture control, reinforcing the proposal of residential comfort in compact dimensions.

Scania 770 S Converted into a Motorhome Brings Extreme Power and Residential Structure to Another Level

After presenting a compact and efficient motorhome, the contrast arises with the Scania 770 S transformed into a house on wheels, gathering maximum power, expanded structure, and a total investment of R$ 3 million.

Mechanical Base and Project History

The Scania 770 S is the most powerful truck sold in Brazil, equipped with a V8 engine with 770 horsepower, a 12-speed transmission with overdrive, and 6×2 traction.

The project began with the purchase of the mechanical horse, followed by extending the chassis, cutting the rear of the cabin, and structural integration with the living module, keeping the original cabin interlinked.

The total process of purchase and conversion took about 15 months, with the first three months and an additional twelve until the fully functional final delivery.

Expandable Structure and Internal Dimensions

The motorhome uses two lateral sliders that expand the internal width by up to 90 centimeters, resulting in a total area of approximately 44 square meters when fully opened.

The structure allows for ample circulation, separated environments, and comfort comparable to that of an apartment, while maintaining structural integrity for road travel.

Internal reinforcements ensure the rigidity of the cabin during tilting and movement, with sealing by dedicated rubber and a repositioned piston for even lifting.

Internal Environments, Bedrooms, and Capacity

The converted Scania accommodates up to eight people, distributed among bedrooms with fixed beds, bunk beds, and a master suite, all with climate control and individual televisions.

The suite offers more space than many residential bedrooms, with a large bed, cabinets, television, and an integrated full bathroom. Bunk beds and bedrooms have TVs positioned for comfortable use, ensuring individual entertainment without interfering with other environments.

Water, Energy, and Connectivity Systems

The motorhome has 1,000 liters of main water, 200 additional liters for the shower, and 250 liters designated for waste, ensuring high hydraulic autonomy.

Energy is provided by a diesel generator coupled to the engine, capable of maintaining lighting, climate control, and active systems even in remote areas.

Connectivity is ensured by a Starlink system, allowing continuous internet access in isolated locations without operational interruptions.

Driveability, Brakes, and Dynamic Behavior

Despite its size, the set offers driving described as smooth and quiet, reflecting the evolution of the model’s generation and the insulation applied during the conversion.

The braking system includes a retarder with five stages, usually used up to the second level, given its high efficiency on prolonged descents.

The vehicle demonstrated stable performance on demanding routes, such as the Serra do Rio do Rastro, maintaining control, safety, and comfort even under heavy load.

While the Position 6.5 bets on efficiency, compactness, and electrical autonomy, the Scania 770 S takes the concept of motorhomes to the extreme of power and livable space.

Both represent distinct approaches to living on wheels, one focused on economy and versatility, the other on maximum performance and expanded residential structure, each catering to very different usage profiles.
