It’s called the Approach — Outside Van’s 170 AWD Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Seats 4, sleeps 4, starting at $235,000 as of August 28, 2026.
Two Beds, Stacked
Open the rear doors and you get the sleep: an upper three-panel bed over a lower bench/bed. That is how four people sleep in this van — stacked, not in a loft. The specs table still prints SLEEPING SPACES 4 (upper three-panel bed + lower bench/bed) as of August 28, 2026.
The chassis on that same table is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, chassis size 170, drivetrain AWD. DOT-approved seating is 4.
When the lower bed is a bench, this is the rear dinette. Dark benches, a white table, the upper cushions stacked behind.
A Second Table Up Front
Walk forward and the cab seats swivel to a second table. That is the front dinette.
A child seat fits the passenger row. Seats 4 is the printed number, not a loft count.
The Upper Bed
When the upper three-panel is down, the rear becomes one wide bed: white linens, a wall-mounted TV on a swivel arm, LED pucks and a Maxxair vent in the ceiling.
The Galley
The galley is the white cabinet run down one side. Stainless refrigerator in the stack. Dark benches either side when the rear is a dinette. The slider opens onto the aisle.
A removable induction cooktop sits in the white counter.
Stainless sink, gooseneck faucet.
The Water Box, as Printed
The bath is a hidden water box — porta-potty and enclosed shower — not a walk-in. As of August 28, 2026, the Approach page still prints “Discrete storage with porta-potty & enclosed shower” and “Hidden water box w/ toilet and shower.” Named only.
Same fetch, same table: heater is a hydronic diesel system (cabin air & water). Power is 13.2 kWh / 1030Ah lithium-ion batteries and a 3200W inverter. Solar is a 140W rooftop solar panel with an MPPT controller. Named only, dated August 28, 2026.
Color options on that table: Selenite Grey Metallic; Stone Grey.
Would you take stacked beds for four and a porta-potty water box at $235,000 — or do you want a walk-in bath before a Sprinter is the house?
