This fully customized Mercedes Sprinter 170 AWD camper van was designed for serious overland travel without sacrificing comfort or style. Built on our top-tier El Capitan tier, it features a combination of rugged exterior upgrades and thoughtfully refined interior design—engineered to perform both off-grid and on-road.
Outfitted with an Agile Off Road lift kit, all-terrain wheels and tires, and a matte black CA Tuned front bumper with dual LP9 Pro LED lights, this Sprinter build is ready to handle everything from rocky trails to cross-country highways. The S&B 45-gallon fuel tank, AMP Research power steps, exterior perimeter lighting, and Starlink in-motion internet bring next-level functionality and connectivity to life on the road. Custom-painted hood, fender flares, and full Tuff Skin liner protection add both durability and striking contrast to the white paint finish.
Inside, the van is powered by a robust 800Ah lithium battery system with 300W of solar and a 3000W inverter, making it a truly self-sustaining off-grid camper van. The climate is controlled through a Nomadic 12V rooftop A/C, Espar diesel heater, and MaxxAir Deluxe vent fan, keeping the cabin comfortable in all seasons.
The interior design blends warmth with modern functionality, featuring wood-stained ceilings and walls, recessed dimmable lighting, and a full wet bath with a tiled indoor shower and Laveo dry flush toilet. The kitchen is fully equipped with an induction cooktop, Isotherm fridge, microwave, and acacia butcher block countertops, accented with stainless steel fixtures and soft-close cabinetry. Ample storage includes overhead cabinets, a full-height closet, and custom under-counter units—perfect for extended travel.
Comfort-forward details include a queen-size memory foam bed, swivel driver and passenger seats, a removable jump seat, and a Lagun table system for flexible dining or workspace needs. Entertainment is handled by a Vizio smart TV on a swivel mount, paired with magnetic blackout shades for privacy and insulation. Additional gear storage is handled with Owl Vans accessories, including a ladder and tire carrier, bike rack, monster box, and a RackAttach swing arm with a 1Up double bike mount.
Like all of our builds, this custom Sprinter conversion meets RVIA certification standards, ensuring safety and eligibility for traditional RV financing. Built entirely in-house by the team at Papago Vans, it reflects our commitment to quality, performance, and personalized adventure—where craftsmanship meets capability.
