Self-Effacing Sprinter Campervan Hides a Cozy Living Space With Murphy Bed and Huge Closet

While some people eager to embark on their nomadic journey decide to build their dream homes on wheels themselves, many others who don't have the time or skills to do so rely on the experience of professional van outfitters. But even this route may be time-consuming and more expensive than expected for some. A solution to this issue is the second-hand market, where plenty of already converted turn-key vans are looking for new owners.

In this piece, we're going to explore an already converted luxury camper van perfect for clients looking to skip the wait. It is based on a 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 2WD and has never been lived in. The previous owner only used it for a few short trips before unforeseen personal circumstances caused a lifestyle change. Currently located in Middle Tennessee, this camper van is now for sale for $97,000 with a little over 34,000 miles (54,717 km) on the clock.

With a self-effacing white exterior and very few accessories that could give away its camper DNA, this build is stealthy enough to offer privacy in both remote, secluded locations in the middle of nature and busy urban streets. Moreover, it is packed with all kinds of amenities, from a full indoor bathroom to modern kitchen appliances, which makes it a great choice for both occasional outdoor adventures and full-time vanlife.

Crafted with the intention to maintain the warmth and familiarity of a home, qualities that are often lost in many "RV style" builds, this camper conversion boasts a beautiful interior with cedar tongue and groove wood panels on the walls and ceiling, Lifeproof vinyl flooring, butcher block countertop, and custom birch plywood cabinetry built by a local cabinet shop.

It's the little details and high-end finishes that instantly elevate the overall style of the interior. For instance, instead of the usual neutral white or natural wood, the cabinets inside this van are turquoise blue and come with rattan inserts, proving that a bit of color can go a long way in changing the whole look of your camper.

In terms of layout, this van has a closed cab configuration, meaning a solid division wall separates the driver's cabin from the actual living space, ensuring an extra layer of privacy and stealthiness. However, a pocket door offers easy accessibility to and from the cab, allowing campers to quickly hop behind the wheel if necessary.

The elegant kitchen is the focal point of this conversion and boasts a beautiful cooking block with tons of deep drawers for storage, a sink with APEC water filtration, an electric induction cooktop, and a microwave/oven combo. A subway-style backsplash and black hardware enhance the sleek look, while upper cabinets with rattan inserts add even more storage space for cooking essentials.

On the opposite side of the van, you'll find a large fridge/freezer neatly integrated right behind the driver's seat. A huge floor-to-ceiling closet offers tons of space for personal belongings, and one-half of it can even be used as a pantry.

The back of the van is a versatile space that can be used for lounging, dining, and working during the day and transforms into a comfortable sleeping space at night. The multifunctionality is afforded by an L-shaped built-in sofa accompanied by a Lagun swivel table and a space-saving Murphy bed that stores vertically against the wall and folds down when the sun sets. Additional storage cabinets are hidden behind it.

While some van lifers decide to completely forego the indoor bathroom because they are happy with outdoor or communal bathrooms, this camper van does come with a fully enclosed shower cabin, which makes it a good fit for those who prefer the privacy and comfort of using a bathroom within their own space. It is concealed behind a Nautilus self-cleaning door and features a tiled shower and a composting toilet. An outdoor shower with a hose connection comes in handy for rinsing sand, dirt, or dust off your feet after a long day of work or play.

The van's water system comprises a 40-gallon fresh water tank and a 10-gallon gray water tank with easy empty switch, plus a 4-gallon hot water heater with on/off switch. What's more, to ensure campers remain cozy in cold weather, the build comes with  an ultra-efficient 12v diesel heater that integrates with the vehicle's fuel system for ease of use. For cooling down during warmer days and nights, a Maxxair fan and a Dometic RTX 2000 AC unit are included.

Various other features enhance the functionality of this camper van and make it stand out, including a shoe cabinet with flip drawers in the entryway, a hidden pop-out floor drawer for pet food and water bowls, all window covers, and more.

A reliable off-grid power system ensures you can enjoy prolonged stays in remote locations. It includes 400Ah of Lithium Battleborn batteries, 400W worth of Renogy solar panels, a 3000W Victron inverter, Victron Battery monitor and digital multicontrol, and various USB/AC/DC outlets.

All in all, this pre-loved camper van is not only well-designed but also warm and cozy, and it would be a good fit for anyone looking to embrace the nomadic journey.
