Projet Chabot
The Chabot Project
For the Chabot family, sports are part of everyday life. Between surf sessions, mountain biking days, and events across Quebec, they needed a van that could keep up with their active lifestyle — while also giving the whole family a comfortable place to recharge at the end of the day. Their 4-seat Champion, built on a Mercedes AWD 170, was designed around exactly that: practical when life gets moving, and comfortable when it’s time to slow down.
The Details That Make All the Difference
Two Beds Designed for the Whole Family
After an active day, the Champion becomes a true home base for the whole family. Its two stacked double beds create two spacious, separate sleeping areas: the kids can settle into the top bunk while the parents enjoy the lower bed, with no need to convert a bench or rearrange the van every night.
You get the comfort of real beds that are always ready, even when travelling as a family of four — a small detail that makes a big difference after a full day when all you want to do is unwind.
A Practical Space to Come Together
The Champion is designed to make life as a family of four simple and comfortable. Up front, the swivel seats create a welcoming shared space around the table, while two certified passenger seats allow the whole family to travel together safely.
And because every adventure comes with different needs, the two seats and table can be removed once you reach your destination to free up as much space as possible. It’s an easy way to go from a comfortable gathering space for four to a large, open living area.
Built to Carry More
Under the two beds, the Champion offers a spacious garage designed to carry bikes, boards, bags, and everything else that comes along on the family’s adventures.
For Project Chabot, a sliding tray on rails makes storage even more practical: simply pull it out, grab what you need, and slide it back into place. No need to crawl into the back of the van to find your gear!
Life After Delivery
The Champion is now part of the Chabot family’s adventures. Competitions, mountain biking weekends, surf days, and family vacations — everyone gets on board, gear included. Built around their active lifestyle, their van is now ready to follow them wherever sports and the urge to get away take them.
