The variety of custom-built motorhomes is truly impressive. Many campers based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter are out there, and each owner sets them up differently. The creators of this well-equipped rig spent eight months putting it together and invested around $150,000, including the van’s price. 

Everywhere inside, there are clever touches. For instance, the rear dinette has a swiveling table for different configurations. Additionally, the bed is on an elevator over this area, and an electric motor lowers the mattress on a custom-fabricated aluminum frame.

The kitchen has attractive bamboo cabinets. One drawer has a second drawer inside for more storage in a small area. The sink includes a UV filter because the couple spends a lot of time in the woods, where water quality can be poor.

The shower is nicer than those in some factory-built Sprinter motorhomes. It features white marble tiles on the walls, complemented by black fixtures. The floor has teak wood slats, heated by an aluminum pan underneath.

The front of the van has a floor-to-ceiling storage area against a wall. There’s space for hanging items in the upper area, and a lower section with a hole for the couple’s two cats to reach the litter box.

The couple lives in the van year-round. To stay comfortable, they have heated floors and air conditioning. They use 800 watts of solar power and 540 amp batteries to run the AC for four to five hours a day.

The exterior of the van has a large mount that holds a lot of equipment, including two bicycles and inflatable kayaks. In the winter, they switch out the bike mounts to carry skis. Opening the rear doors provides access to an outdoor shower.

This is the couple’s second van build, which is probably why it looks so well put together. They already knew what features were most important to them and were able to incorporate those ideas into a very spacious, luxurious tiny home.
