This 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a nearly new van with a brand-new build, put together by Nashville-based Romper Vans for a family of four. It rides on the long-wheelbase, high-roof chassis with the 3.0L V6 diesel and just 18,786 miles on the clock, and it keeps four seatbelted seats so the whole crew can travel together.
Inside, the layout is simple and smart: swivel cab seats and a rear bench around a dinette table, a galley with butcher block counters and a fridge, a fixed queen-size bed across the back, and a garage underneath for bikes and gear. It’s listed for sale on Vanlife Trader for $69,950.
A Low-Mileage Sprinter That Seats Four
The base van is a big part of the appeal here. Most used conversions you’ll find are on vans with 60,000 to 150,000 miles, so a 2020 Sprinter with under 19,000 miles is unusual. It’s loaded with most factory options, including three factory sunroofs, alloy wheels, a backup camera, and cruise control. A removable Ford Transit passenger seat is bolted through the floor behind the cab, which is how this van gets to four seatbelts instead of the usual two.
That second row is what makes it work for families. Parents ride up front, kids ride in the bench, and once you’re parked the cab seats swivel around to face the table.
A Dinette That Turns the Cab Into Living Space
Swivel seats are one of the best tricks in a van build because they put the cab, normally dead space when parked, back to work. Here the driver and passenger seats spin to face a white tabletop, with the rear bench on the other side. That gives you a four-person spot for meals, games, or laptop work without building a separate seating area.
Upper cabinets in sage green with warm wood trim run along both walls, and recessed lights in the tongue-and-groove ceiling keep the space bright at night.
A Galley with Butcher Block Counters
The kitchen sits right inside the sliding door, so you can cook with the door open and the awning out. A long butcher block counter wraps around a stainless steel sink with a black faucet, and a compact refrigerator tucks under the counter. Water comes from a 20-gallon fresh tank, and a gray water tank catches what goes down the drain.
The builder says the cabinetry was professionally built and finished in a durable pigmented lacquer, which holds up much better to bumps and spills than plain paint.
A Queen Bed with Room for a Toddler
The bed is a fixed queen with a memory foam mattress that runs across the back of the van. A fixed bed means no nightly setup, which matters a lot when you’re traveling with kids. The listing also notes there’s room for a toddler bed behind the bench seat, so a family of four with a little one can actually sleep in here.
Lying in bed, you look up at the factory sunroofs and the wood-trimmed ceiling. Thinsulate insulation and full sound deadening help keep the cabin quieter and more comfortable on hot and cold nights.
A Rear Garage for Bikes and Gear
Raising the bed creates a full-width garage underneath, reachable from the rear doors. It’s lined in plywood and left open, so it can take bikes, camp chairs, a stroller, or bins of toys. On one side there’s a utility bay with the water heater and plumbing, kept out of the living space but easy to get to.
Victron Electrical Built for Campgrounds
The electrical system was wired by an engineer and uses all Victron components with Bluetooth monitoring. It has 200Ah of 12V lithium batteries (about 2.4 kWh) and a 2,000-watt inverter. The batteries charge from the alternator while you drive or from shore power when you’re plugged in.
The builder is upfront that this van is set up for campgrounds with hookups. The air conditioner and electric water heater work best on shore power, while the batteries will run the fridge and lights for a few days off the grid. There’s also a city water hookup, so you can connect to a campground spigot instead of filling the tank. Solar and a diesel heater aren’t installed yet, but the builder offers to add them for an extra fee.
Outdoor Living and a Smoother Ride
Outside, the van has the biggest awning the maker offers, which shades a large outdoor living area beside the sliding door. There’s an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach or a muddy trail. Rear airbag suspension smooths out the ride and keeps the van level no matter how much gear you load in, and there’s a hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier.

What Makes This Build Special
- Four seatbelts in a camper van. Most conversions seat two. Bolting a removable passenger seat through the floor lets a family travel together legally and safely.
- Nearly new base vehicle. At under 19,000 miles, the expensive part of the van has most of its life ahead of it.
- Built around how it will be used. Instead of trying to be fully off-grid, it’s tuned for campgrounds with hookups, which keeps the electrical simpler and the price lower. Solar and a diesel heater can come later.
- Durable finishes. Pigmented lacquer cabinets and butcher block counters are a good match for kids and daily use.
- Fixed bed plus a big garage. No converting a dinette every night, and the space underneath swallows bikes and gear.
