The Best Sprinter Van Conversion for Van Life
If you’re just getting into the van life and are looking for some inspiration for your own sprinter van conversion, then look no further.
This Mercedes sprinter camper conversion by California’s Leisure Coachworks highlights the best of what’s possible and offer’s some insight into what the future of van life might look like for those who want a sprinter van conversion.
About The Build
The idea with most sprinter van conversions is to maximize space and utility while still being practical. In other words, you want to have your cake and eat it too.
The client for this build needed a space to work but also wanted to be able to live, relax, and sleep while on the road for a few days at a time.
The idea with any van conversion is that you want to feel like you’re at home when you’re on the road, and this Sprinter conversion definitely delivers.
Features of the Mercedes Sprinter Van Conversion
The exterior of the newer model Mercedes Sprinters is beautiful to behold, and the sleek, modern aesthetic is rivaled only by the luxurious and highly functional interior. Here’s a brief rundown of the features and specs.
The Exterior
One of the nicest exterior features on any Sprinter van conversion is the awning, and this one awesome. Being able to set a chair down outside and feel like you’re on your porch is a life saver when you’re on the road for extended periods of time, and plus, it’s nice to be able to get some shade and some fresh air at the same time, especially when camping.
The Sprinter camper also features an exterior rear-view camera, a fully functional exterior shower, a 30 A hookup, and all of the hookups for direct power and city water. Additionally, the build features a 300-Watt solar array on the roof, which is enough to power all of the epic bells and whistles inside.
Speaking of which, let’s take a closer look at the inside of the build.
The Interior
Inside, the build features everything the client needs to work and live when away from home including, a workspace, a large convertible sofa bed, and a beautiful kitchen space with Corian countertops, a sink, refrigerator, and a cooktop.
Some other comforts featured in the build include a magnum inverter, dual air-conditioners, a television, and even an Xbox console.
Basically, everything you could ask for in a mobile off-grid office has been included without compromising on any of the comforts you would expect to find at home. The luxury finishes complement the build and make it feel like you are stepping into a tiny home rather than a vehicle.
Lessons From The Sprinter Van Conversion Build
If you are thinking about getting into the van life, and you want to have your own Sprinter van conversion, then this build checks all of the boxes in terms of what’s possible.
By being able to power your work and personal life while staying cool, comfortable, and entertained, not to mention fed, you can travel for extended periods of time while still attending to business and pleasure.
The sprinter van conversion looks great on the outside, but once you step inside, you feel the impact that a quality build can have.
Remember, the design and look of the vehicle are important, but how you feel inside when you’re working or relaxing is even more so.
The van campers of yesteryear were cramped, chaotic, and claustrophobic, but modern sprinter vans offer an ample amount of space for one or two people to work and live comfortably without ever feeling like they’re actually inside of a vehicle.

It really is like stepping into a modern state-of-the-art cabin or off-grid escape, but at the same time, just about everything you need to work or play is within arm’s reach.
