What Makes The Mercedes Sprinter Such An Excellent Camper Van
By JASON PARKER
Reliability
Mercedes is known worldwide for its reliability. Whether you’re going near or far, the Sprinter will help you get to your destination with little fear of breaking down.
The Sprinter is the best in its class for reliability, winning the most reliable van title nine years in a row at the FN50 awards, with its most recent win in 2023.
Spacious
With the 170-inch wheelbase option, you can comfortably adventure with a family of four and still have room for areas like a working kitchen and a meal table.
The Sprinter offers some of the largest interior cargo space available in its class. While it’s not the size of an RV, it’s enough for a functional and comfortable living space.
Go Anywhere
While RVs can be cumbersome on the road due to their size, a camper van like the Sprinter drives a lot like an SUV, though it is still large.
The Sprinter is also great for driving in city situations, whether that means going through city streets or being stuck in traffic.
Fuel Efficiency
The Mercedes Sprinter offers options for diesel-powered engines, which makes them incredibly fuel-efficient and able to travel long distances on a single tank.
The average fuel consumption of a Mercedes Sprinter comes in at about 14-17 mpg. Compare that with an RV that gets 6-10mpg and you’ll see it’s quite the upgrade.
Customization
One of the big reasons to choose a Mercedes Sprinter as a camper van is because of all the customization options available for it.
There are a plethora of companies that have thousands of layout options to choose from and all the accessories you need to make it a one-of-a-kind tiny home on wheels.
