The front cab seats swivel to create an expansive living space, integrating seamlessly with the main cabin. A removable table on a swivel leg system provides an ideal spot for dining or remote work.
The most impressive element, however, is the dinette. Thanks to a clever design, this entire area converts into a spacious double bed, allowing the van to comfortably sleep up to four people. This ingenuity provides a level of flexibility that is rarely seen in a conversion.

The walls feature a light, stone-effect finish, providing a sleek backdrop for the modern matte black thermostatic mixer and shower head.
For ultimate space-saving, a retractable waterproof roller door disappears neatly when not in use. The use of an insulated underslung water tank also keeps valuable living space free inside the van while ensuring protection from the elements.
The shower is a highly functional wet room, complete with a Maxxair Maxxfan Dome. This provides powerful ventilation and bright, circular light for extra ‘wow’ factor. An outdoor shower also makes it easy to rinse off gear, yourself, or your pup after your adventures.
Hot water is thanks to the Truma Combi D 4 E, the ultimate dual-fuel system. This compact unit is a true piece of engineering, combining a powerful 4kW space heater and a 10-litre water boiler into one package.
The D 4 E brings dual-fuel flexibility, running efficiently on diesel, electric hook-up, or a mix of both. Managed by the intelligent Truma iNet X control panel, the unit can heat 10 litres of water from 15°C to 60°C in about 20 to 30 minutes.

The floor of the hardwearing garage is dialled in with WISA-Hexa plywood, a slip-resistant birch panel with a hexagonal friction pattern, which is easy to clean. The rear also features a door to the interior, which doubles as a comfy, secure dog house.
A custom, floor-to-ceiling compartment provides discreet storage for a surfboard, highlighting the build’s bespoke nature. Throughout the living space, you’ll find other smart solutions, including a wardrobe, ample bench seat storage, and compartments that are hidden in the side door step.

Further intentional lighting is found in the master bed recess, side step compartments, and rear garage.
A Maxxair Maxxfan Dome plus Roof Vent, which doubles as a powerful LED light, illuminates the shower room.
Heating

You won’t be compromising on warmth in this roving home. The Truma Combi D 4 E handles both space heating and hot water, ensuring you’re always comfortable, no matter the weather.
The heat distribution is strategically placed for total comfort and utility. There are four dedicated heating ducts: two in the main living area, one in the shower (which doubles the space as a gear drying room), and one in the garage to prevent freezing.
The entire system is managed via the seamless Truma iNet display screen, giving you fingertip control over your climate at all times.

Mercedes Sprinter Exterior
Forget stock. This Sprinter van conversion from Risecampers is built for action, wrapped in a slick Pebble Grey with lower body trim. Every upgrade on this rig is intentional, transforming a standard ride into a machine that’s ready to conquer any road.
Among the exterior upgrades there’s a Stage 3 suspension kit which means this van handles like a dream, on-road or off. Paired with rugged alloy wheels and beefy tires, it’s a confident stance that says you’re ready for anything.
A massive roof deck up top is perfect for sunsets and is easily accessed by a rear ladder. The rear tire carrier keeps a spare handy and rounds out the off-grid look perfectly.
And those flares with half-slider windows? They add a little extra space inside and a lot of extra cool on the outside. This is a van that’s designed to get you out there in style.
Windows & Ventilation
↠ Side flares with half slider bunk window (2).
↠ Framed, hinged campervan windows (2).
↠ Remis cab blinds.
This rig is dialled in for maximum airflow and natural light, ensuring comfort no matter where you park up. The window setup is strategic, balancing views, ventilation, and privacy perfectly.
Two framed, hinged campervan windows offer expansive views and ample light. Furthermore, the side flares aren’t just space; they cleverly integrate half-slider bunk windows for essential cross-ventilation in the sleeping area.
Up front, Remis cab blinds completely block out light and prying eyes, offering full blackout capability when it’s time to chill. This thoughtful combination means you’re always comfortable, whether you’re chasing the sun or hunkering down for the night.
Skylights & Fans
↠ Maxxair fan (living area).
↠ Maxxair Maxxfan Dome plus Roof Vent 12v Fan & LED Light in shower room.
This Sprinter’s ventilation game is top-tier. A Maxxair fan in the main living area works hard to move air, keeping the space fresh and comfortable whether you’re cooking or just hanging out.
The skylight in the shower is more than just a vent—it’s a Maxxair Maxxfan Dome plus Roof Vent, which doubles as an LED light. This dual-purpose setup keeps the shower bright and well-ventilated, without taking up extra space.
This combination of fans and skylights is key to creating a home that feels open, airy, and full of natural light, no matter where you’re parked.
Wheels
↠ Rogue Alloys Robust 2.
↠ General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tyres.
↠ Stage 3 Suspension Kit.
This professional conversion by Risecampers has got the right stance for the wild. It’s sitting on a set Rogue Alloys Robust 2 wheels in Satin Black, which give it a confident, aggressive look that perfectly complements the rest of the build.
Those alloys aren’t just for show, though. They’re wrapped in General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tires, which provide the kind of grip and durability you need when you ditch the road for gravel, mud, or snow.
The combination of the wheels, tyres, and a Stage 3 Suspension Kit is a deliberate upgrade that makes this Sprinter van conversion not only look tough but also handle even better when the road gets rough.
Other Exterior Upgrades
↠ Roofdeck.
↠ Two-in-One Tyre Ladder Carrier.
↠ Custom-made roof rack.
This Sprinter van’s exterior is kitted out for serious adventure. The most epic upgrade is the custom roof deck, which is your private perch for sunsets, stargazing, or just soaking up the views from way up top.
All the essential gear is dialled in, too. The back of the van features a killer Two-in-One Tire Ladder Carrier, a slick piece of kit that combines a spare tire mount and a ladder in a single unit. Up top, a bespoke roof rack provides the perfect platform to carry all the toys and tools you need.
These upgrades aren’t just for looks; they turn this Sprinter van conversion into a fully-equipped adventure machine that’s ready for anything.

How many people can a Sprinter van conversion comfortably sleep?
Well-designed Sprinter campervans can comfortably sleep depends on the design, but really, we’d say 3-4 people. A key consideration, apart from sleeping space, is seating space. As standard, Sprinter vans have three belted seats in the cab, if you want to sleep more than three, you’ll need to consider how they will travel. Weight and storage are also important considerations – more people = more stuff and more weight.
This vehicle is built with a comfortable sleeping area thanks to the fixed double bed at the rear and a convertible dinette that turns into a second bed, offering a flexible and spacious arrangement.
How long can this camper van stay off-grid?
With a massive 460Ah lithium battery bank and solar panels, this camper van is designed for extended off-grid living. The exact duration depends on your power usage, but this robust system is engineered to provide the freedom to stay in the wild for days on end.
Is a Sprinter van conversion a good option for off-road driving?
This Sprinter van conversion is a great option for off-road driving. It’s kitted out with a Stage 3 suspension kit and General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tires, giving it a confident stance and the capability to handle rough roads, gravel, and dirt tracks.
Unfortunately Mercedes-Benz no longer produce a 4×4 Sprinter van; it has been replaced by the AWD Sprinter van.
What kind of warranty does Risecampers offer on their conversions?
As a professional conversion company, Risecampers stands behind its work with a three-year guarantee on all components within the conversion. This provides confidence and peace of mind for your adventure travel.
