EXCLUSIVE: Check out this incredible 4×4 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter camper van conversion by Mango Vans! Based in Miami, Florida, Mango Vans is known for their unique and minimalist designs that combine natural materials with top-of-the-line off-grid power systems.
Mango Vans specializes in custom builds and has worked on various vehicles, but their focus is currently on the Ram ProMaster, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and Ford Transit. These cargo vans are extremely popular choices for camper conversions.
In a truly one-of-a-kind project, Mango Vans was tasked with creating a camper van specifically designed to accommodate professionally trained K9 units. Let’s start by discussing the impressive exterior of this Sprinter van.
The sleek black paint job perfectly complements the stunning Owl Vans Talon bronze rims, which are wrapped in BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires. At the front, you’ll find an Owl Vans Pismo bumper equipped with a reliable Warn winch. You won’t believe your eyes when you see the video of this van effortlessly towing a VW van!
Moving to the rear, you’ll notice the Owl Vans ladder/spare tire carrier and Sherpa carrier. Mango Vans also upgraded the door hinges to support extra weight. Unlike the original hinges, these new ones open 180 degrees, ensuring that nothing stored in the back will hit the sides.
On top of the van, there’s a BajaRack holding a Fiamma F45S awning, a StarLikk antenna, and some front lights. Mango Vans didn’t forget about comfort either – they added a Houghton A/C to keep the interior cool. Plus, the base vehicle already comes with a factory rear A/C, so you’ll never feel too hot inside this van.
Inside the camper van, Mango Vans has created a minimalist and practical space that also meets the client’s request of accommodating their furry friends. The all-black interior is sleek and stylish, with subtle accents throughout. The open layout ensures that the driver’s cabin seamlessly blends with the living space.
As you step inside, you’ll immediately notice the galley area. Due to the limited space in this 144″ wheelbase Sprinter, the kitchen is compact but functional. It features a beautiful Acacia live-edge butcher block countertop and a sleek black ceramic sink. Should the customer want to cook, they can easily bring along a portable stove.
Mango Vans has truly outdone themselves with this custom camper van conversion. From the exterior to the interior, every detail has been carefully thought out to create a unique and practical living space. Check out the video below to see this incredible van in action.
Mango Vans has created a unique conversion for those who want to travel with their furry friends. The van is equipped with spacious overhead cabinets that provide ample storage space. These cabinets stretch from the kitchen to the back of the van, ensuring that there is plenty of room for all your belongings. In addition, there are two smaller cabinets above the kitchen and a large one above the bed. The latter even houses the StarLink router and power supply.
The control center of the van is conveniently located between the cabinets. Here, you will find a heater controller, two outlets, an inverter controller, and various switches for the lights. This setup allows for easy access and control of the van’s systems.
Underneath the countertop, there are two more cabinets. One of them contains a decently sized fridge/freezer, perfect for keeping your food and drinks cool during your travels. The counter also features two outlets, a USB plug, and two switches for the lights, ensuring that you have all the necessary amenities at your fingertips.
Moving on to the living space, the main feature is the bedroom. It is equipped with an Adventure Wagon MOAB bed mounted on L-Traks. This allows you to adjust the height of the bed to suit your needs. Underneath the bed, there is a garage that can be accessed from both the inside and outside of the van. This garage is where you will find two kennels, providing a comfortable space for your furry companions.
Mango Vans takes pride in offering off-grid capabilities in their vans. The electrical system of this particular unit is located on the left side of the garage. It features a Victron MultiPlus inverter/charger and BattleBorn batteries, which provide enough power to run the A/C for several hours. Surprisingly, there are no solar panels connected to the system, but given the limited power consumption inside the van, it seems unnecessary.
Overall, this conversion by Mango Vans is a great option for those who want to travel with their dogs. While it may not have all the luxurious amenities of a typical camper van, it is designed to keep your furry friends comfortable and cool during long journeys.
