Family Friendly 2021 Sprinter Adventure Van with Custom Kids’ Bunks

About this RV

It's always been a dream of ours to own a camper van. In searching for one, we found it very difficult to find one that would work well for our family of four with two young children. After lots of searching without success we decided to build out our own from scratch that would be the ideal layout for our family. After lots of dreaming, planning, and building, I think we hit the mark! Our 2021 Mercedes Sprinter 170 comfortably seats and sleeps a family of 4 and includes 2 child-size bunk beds (mattresses are 5'9" long by 2' wide), a queen bed positioned sideways in the back, & swivel seats in the front which create a small dining/hangout space for 4. The kitchen features an induction cooktop, a large Isotherm fridge, a sink, ample storage in the cabinets and drawers, and generous counter space. There's plenty of storage space throughout the van including a total of 5 upper cabinets, 2 large drawers under the bunk beds, 2 lower kitchen cabinets, 2 kitchen drawers & a large garage space under the queen bed which can be accessed from the rear or via the small sliding door under the front edge of the queen bed. The van is also equipped with a full-length roof rack where you can store larger items like surfboards, strollers, etc. The van is powered by a 12-volt electrical system with a 300Ah lithium battery bank, a 2000-watt inverter/charger, and 375 watts of solar power on the roof to keep you powered up during off-grid excursions. For cold weather trips, we have installed an Espar diesel heater with a thermostat for temperature control. The water system includes 20 gallons of fresh water, an outdoor shower at the rear of the van, a 4-gallon water heater to provide warm water to the shower and kitchen sink, and a 5-gallon grey water tank under the kitchen sink. Outside the van, we have a 9' x 7' Moonshade awning and a large outdoor rug. Our family has made so many beautiful memories together in our adventures in this van and we hope you will too! What's included - bed linens & pillows - magnetic blackout shades - outdoor rug - Moonshade awning - leveling blocks - pots, pans, kettle & cooking utensils - wine bottle opener - cutting boards - plates, bowls, cups, coffee mugs, wine glasses and utensils - coozies for skinny cans - French press - dish towels, pot holders, trivet - olive oil, salt, pepper - paper towels, trash bags, dish soap, hand soap - first aid kit - smoke & carbon monoxide detector - fire extinguisher - If you will be traveling with 2 car seats, the 2nd row seats are somewhat narrow and will not accommodate 2 large bulky car seats together. We can provide a Cosco Finale DX car seat for your trip which is a more light-weight narrow car seat model that can fit alongside a bulkier model if needed. Recommendations From the beach to the mountains, this rig will serve as an awesome home base for all your Southern California adventures!

  Amazing van. A must rent.

• Jessica M. · 5/5 · Jun 2024 · Outdoorsy

  An absolute delight to use this van for the weekend. It’s lovely inside, super clean, and Denny and Sarah have thought of everything to make traveling in it functional and comfortable. My two young kids (almost 4 and baby) were right at home (4 year old was especially delighted by the bunk beds). We all had a blast and we’re already scheming about when we can rent it again sometime. Highly recommended!!

  "We had a fantastic trip with Denny and Sarah's RV. Super cozy, clean car with comfortable beds. Interior well thought through and perfect for families with two children, esp. when using campgrounds with better infrastructure. The bunk beds for kids spared us a lot of time, since no bedtime rearrangements were ever needed in the cabin. This is an advantage and time saver when changing places. Heating worked well in…

  We loved renting this camper van! Denny and Sarah are great. It was perfect for our family. We now have a new favorite way to vacation.

  Danny and Sarah are excellent hosts. They provided clear instructions from pick-up to drop-off, and even recommended a convenient place to refuel the diesel when returning. The vehicle was indeed as great as mentioned in other reviews. Additionally, the solar panels provided ample electricity, so we had no worries about power usage. Even when using electricity freely during the night, we had plenty left for the next…

  Wonderful van, more beautiful than the posting. Our daughter loved the bunk beds and we’ll 100% book again if we come back to SD!
