Our latest project is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a 144″ wheelbase. The client brought it to us completely empty, and in just one month, we transformed it into a comfortable passenger van ready for travel. The biggest challenge? Making the most of the limited space. But we put every inch of this Sprinter van interior to good use – and now we’re sharing our top interior hacks with you!
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van Interior Hacks
5 Golden Rules for Sprinter Van Interior Comfort
The starting point for a van conversion is the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van interior dimensions. With a 144″ wheelbase, the usable floor space is about 63-77 sq ft. At first glance, that might not seem like much. But with the right approach, this space can be transformed into a comfortable travel setup for 2-3 people.
More Light
Natural sunlight makes a space feel bigger, colors brighter, and moods better. Since we were working on renovating a Sprinter cargo van, we started by cutting and installing four new windows.
Everything in Its Place
Life on the road means having a lot of things – dishes, clothes, tools, toiletries, and more. The more people in the camper, the higher the risk of clutter. That’s why we focus on smart space organization from the very start. Storage solutions like shelves, kitchen drawers, cabinets, and under-bed compartments help keep everything in order.
By the way, our Sprinter van conversions aren’t just for travel – they can also be customized for business. For example, we can turn a van into a mobile manicure salon. Learn more and order your van conversion service here.
Multi-Functional Furniture
In a comfortable Sprinter passenger van, every piece of furniture can serve multiple purposes. For example:
- Swivel passenger seat – creates extra seating or opens up space when turned.
- Fold-out kitchen tables – provide dining or work surfaces and fold away when not needed.
- Pop-up bed – adds sleeping space without taking up floor area during the day.
- Sofas with convertible table – transform into an additional bed for guests or family.
- Hidden storage systems – keep belongings organized and out of sight.
When we install these systems, we focus on making them super easy to use while ensuring every mechanism is built to last.
Stay Cool and Comfortable
A luxury Sprinter van is all about comfort, no matter the weather. With features like 12V air conditioning, roof vents, and fans, you can maintain the perfect temperature. Enjoy fresh airflow wherever the road takes you!
LED Accents
LED lighting is a true helper in interior design. In our projects, we use different lighting setups to achieve various goals:
- Enhance the sense of space
- Create comfortable cabin lighting
- Illuminate storage systems
- Add interesting design accents
Additionally, LED lights are energy-efficient and long-lasting, making them perfect for van life.
Compact Yet Functional: Camper Van Kitchen Design
Take a look at the kitchen of this Mercedes Sprinter camper van. Here, you’ll find a multifunctional kitchen cabinet with a sink. Two small fold-out tables save space while providing extra surface when needed. A compact fridge is conveniently placed between the workspace and dining area. Plus, the built-in microwave with an air fryer function allows travelers to enjoy a wider variety of meals on the road.
Comfortable Bed Ideas for Van Life
How many people can comfortably sleep in a Mercedes-Benz van? We managed to fit two full beds, thanks to multifunctional furniture.
- Two sofas and a table easily transform into a wide bed.
- An additional pop-up bed can be lowered or raised with a lift mechanism.
Despite these sleeping solutions, there’s still plenty of free space near the kitchen. And the camper’s exit remains unobstructed.
How to Maximize Storage Space in Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van
Maximizing storage area is essential to make the most of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter passenger van interior space.
- In this build, we installed a shower box at the rear doors while keeping floor space clear.
- A spare wheel is mounted on the rear door, saving even more room.
- Upper cabinets above the bench provide additional storage, complete with built-in lighting for convenience.
We also added storage under the sofas and a dedicated pipe for the drain hose. This ensures every inch of the van is used efficiently.
