What started with a new Mercedes Benz Sprinter van is now the most state-of-the-art camper/RV after being entirely customized by the master craftsmen at our very own Concept Transporters. When luxury and practicality are combined, this is the outcome, a fully self-contained vehicle that can be taken virtually anywhere and everywhere while still providing the highest level of finish, utility, and comfort for its passengers.

This “5 Star” hotel room on wheels is equipped with everything you’d need and more for cozy overnight RVing. Besides the 3.0 liter 6-cylinder turbodiesel that powers the vehicle when on the road, this Sprinter has been fitted with a 3000W diesel generator fueled via the van’s diesel tank through auxiliary pick-up and an additional “house battery bank” for an inverter 12V power supply. To distribute the power, a 110v power supply system with a breaker panel, transfer switch, and shore power connection was implemented as well as solar panels on the roof to charge house batteries. A completely self-contained water system and LP system have been integrated into the build allowing the seamless use of all appliances and amenities within the van.

Once inside one of the first things you’ll notice is how cohesive everything is. From the custom French stitch leather to the beautifully finished countertops, LED lighting, etc. this Sprinter build was done with purpose. Within you will find the main bed, guest bunk, fully automated window blinds, air conditioning, complete audio/visual system (TV and surround sound), kitchen (mini-fridge, microwave, dual burners, and sink), a full bathroom (sink, shower, and toilet with vent) as well as a custom iPad interior control system. Multi-layer vibration dampening and sound elimination coatings were utilized for complete insulation to ensure privacy and comfort within the cabin.

The exterior is finished in Graphite paint and has been fitted with a roof rack that provides ample storage for paddle boards, fishing poles, and even a mount satellite system. A large front light bar, awning, ventilation system, and solar panels make up the remainder of the major exterior additions.

This beautifully done Sprinter has all of the features of our larger rigs while being masterfully enclosed in a van. This allows for unparalleled flexibility, and ease of mobility, and avoids the need for additional driver's license certification. It rightly exemplifies the Canepa Difference as compromising for the best is not required nor tolerated for our builds.
