FAMILY VAN
Built in a 170” Extended 3500 Mercedes Sprinter Van, the family van layout is perfect for a family of 4! We designed this van to sleep and seat 4 comfortably with a full bathroom, convertible table/bed area, full kitchen and custom storage solutions.
We recommend only doing this build in a 170” Extended 3500 Sprinter Van for the extra weight handling as well as the extra length the 170” extended van gives you. In a regular 170” Sprinter Van, this build would feel very tight and closed off.
