ADV Crafter/TGE MWB side pods
Achieve 6ft 5in of cross-van sleeping space in your MWB VW Crafter / MAN TGE.
Sleep sideways. Gain living space. Build a better layout.
- Maximise your vans usable space
- Stay warm / cool thanks to our core material's insulating properties
- Parallel bed length for the full width of the pods
- Blend perfectly with the vans original design lines
Important: Our passenger-side Crafter/TGE pod requires an extended sliding door roller in order to allow the sliding door to clear.
These ADV side pods are designed for builders who want a proper transverse bed without sacrificing interior living space. By extending the van’s body, they give you the extra width needed to sleep sideways and free up more room for storage, seating, or a larger kitchen layout.
Built using the same high-grade GRP construction and vacuum infusion process as our other ADV pods, they deliver a strong, lightweight, and practical solution for high-end campervan builds. Our core material offers great insulating properties - 3.5X better thermal regulation than standard GRP.
After internal fit-out, you’ll achieve around 6ft 5" of usable cross-van bed space (can vary depending on internal fit-out method).
Currently only available for right-hand drive vans.
Crafted using high-grade GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) and made with the vacuum resin infusion method, our side pods offer a flawless combination of strength, durability, and low weight. The integrated core material delivers an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio while acting as a powerful heat insulator – perfect for maintaining comfort on your off-grid adventures.
Unlike alternative pods made using traditional GRP production methods, ADV Side Pods utilize an ultra high HDT resin that resists distortion at elevated temperatures. Whether you're in the desert sun or snowy mountains, your pods will hold their shape and function flawlessly.
All ADV Certified Installers have been thoroughly vetted and approved by our team to ensure the highest standard of workmanship. Only verified partners displaying the official ADV Authentication Badge are authorised to fit our products, giving you total confidence in the quality of your installation.

Built To Keep You Comfortable - In Any Climate
Analysis comparing the thermal resistance (R-value) of side pod systems shows that ADV Side Pods significantly outperform alternative pods. ‘Alternative pods’ value is based on the same component, manufactured to achieve similar levels of strength using traditional wet lay up GRP production methods and the materials that can be utilised when producing GRP this way.
With over 3.5 times better insulation than Alternative Pods, ADV Side Pods dramatically reduce heat transfer - helping maintain internal van temperatures and improving comfort.
Whether you're battling freezing conditions in the mountains or travelling through scorching desserts, ADV Side Pods deliver unmatched thermal protection.
When it comes to internal van temperature regulation, ADV Side Pods leave the competition behind.
