Our Sprinter Van | Our AdVANture

Converting a Sprinter Van to a Motorhome

Before we began a search for the van to convert we sat down with a pen and paper then jotted down our needs for the van:

  • Must be a 4×4
  • The van will be going to places other van cannot go, size is critical – not to big and not to small…
  • Must be off grid – electricity, heating, cooking and water.
  • Must be snug and warm
  • A boot/garage to carry wood, chairs, tables, food, clothes and stuff.
  • Repairable using rubber bands and chewing gum!
  • Have a shower and toilet
  • A big comfy bed
  • Kitchen with hob, sink, and storage
  • Table and chairs in the back which can also safely/legally carry people whist driving.

We found a 1999 medium wheel base Mercedes Sprinter 312D 4×4, the price was right and the rust was right!

Headliner Shelf Sprinter Van

Headliner Shelf Sprinter Van

This project took a little bit of thought, what with angles and dangles. You will need Cardboard - needed to make a template for the angled corners. Plywood - needed for the shelf. Wood - used to make a lip for the shelf so your stuff will stay in place when driving....

Storage

Storage

The plan here was keep it simple, four overhead cabinets and a draw between the two seats. (Not including the kitchen draws and cupboard.) I know this is not motorhome thing to do... We bought the cabinets from Ikea and modified the carcases to fit the angles of the...

The Bed Sprinter Van Conversion

The Bed Sprinter Van Conversion

We wanted a large comfy bed, not always possible in space of 3 meters by 1.8 meters, if a shower and toilet room is planned. The solution we opted for was a raised slide out bed. Tried and tested guaranteed to work. End result a large comfy bed that slides out over...
