Revered around the world and winner of many awards the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 was built to be a commercial work vehicle with more than enough might to be put to its paces at work. Coming in two wheelbases, two roof heights and three body lengths, this particular 2016 is the 170” wheelbase version (it’s actually 170.3”, but who’s counting?) and comes in the high-roof configuration, a must for a true Sprinter camper conversion. 

This particular 3500 was converted by the team at El Kapitan Vans in 2018 in their Dream Weaver configuration. That conversation included the addition of built in solar power and an inverter, making off-grid adventure completely attainable. Additionally, the El Kapitan team added freshwater storage, a rear shower, sharp looking stainless steel sink, an induction cooktop and large refrigerator. They added custom real wood cabinets, wood look flooring, a leather couch that converts into a bed big enough for two, and the subtle, but luxurious touch of an alcantara headliner. It also includes an adequate amount of lighting and outlets throughout as well as an impressive sound system, and other tech including a 4G signal booster and backup camera. On the outside, the van recently just received some sharp  looking 16” Method Wheels and fresh off-road tires.
