Steve’s Racing Mercedes Sprinter Campervan

This campervan conversion project was to transfer a long wheel base Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and convert it into a campervan large enough and fully equipped for 2 motorcycles and 2 adults.

A Mercedes Sprinter campervan is a popular choice for a campervan conversion due to the size and engine options.
