2013 Pebble Gray Mercedes-Benz 144" High Top Sprinter Van
This van was professionally converted by Outsidevan. Every detail of this van has been carefully thought through
and expertly crafted. Outsidevan currently has a 1 year long queue for conversions ... this van is ready today.
It includes *everything* AND the kitchen sink (of course). Very little expense was spared. Starting with fully
insulating and paneling the walls with carbon look. The bed is arranged as a sideways sleeper with flares by
Flarespace. This allows for waaay more space in the van overall (I also have a third panel which allows for
conversion back to a full parallel sleeping arrangement).The layout of the van allows for a few different options
for travel. If you have some friends on the trip with you, you can keep the extra row two seater bench seat in the
van. If not, you can remove the 2 seater and allow some extra space for gear.
Some of the luxuries ...
The custom galley includes a sink, butane stove, and Isotherm DR65 fridge. The countertop is sustainable durable
paperstone. The Isotherm is the perfect balance of size, accessibility and power consumption. The fridge operates
both AC and DC and switches automatically. The sink is fed by an ultra efficient pump and a 15 gallon water tank
over the rear driver's side wheel well.
In addition to the galley drawers, there are matching upper cabinets to stow more gear and supplies for the road.
There's also a removable cabinet that sits to the left of the galley for even more storage on longer road trips.
There is a shower pan and shower attachment at the rear of the van for rinsing your body and rinsing your
bikes/boards etc.
The Espar D2 diesel heater keeps things toasty. It's fueled by the diesel van fuel tank and can easily keep the van
comfy on freezing nights.
There is an extensive power system. This includes a 100amp Zamp solar panel with charge controller ... along with
two 6V 220 amp hour batteries mounted under the chassis. The house batteries are charged while the van is in motion
and of course solar charged. Additionally, there is shore power which supports plugging the vehicle into a standard
15amp outlet. This allows for battery charging and powering accessories from AC power while plugged in.
The van includes a ARB compressor for inflating tires and kites or just cleaning the van of debris from being in
the country.
The dash is wrapped to give a refined carbon fiber appearance, matching the headliner and walls.
The driver and passenger seats are both air suspension seats. This is possibly one of the top 3 options on the van.
It allows for a way softer ride. This option is no longer available from the factory on new 144" vans. The
passenger seat is also on a swivel for seating while camped. The seats are black leatherette.
There is a full walkabout roof rack for extra gear or enjoying a cup of coffee at sunrise with a view.
The van comes with a Park Tools bicycle repair stand mounted on the inside of the rear door and also comes with a
Park Tools professional tire inflator for use with the compressor. Additionally there are two fork mounts on the
interior of the van for mounting bikes under the bed ...
There is a 8' Fiamma awning that can be quickly cranked out on hot days or provide cover on rainy days.
On the exterior, you've got a towing hitch (tows 5000lbs), ladder to access the roof, blacked out wheels/detailing
and tinted windows.
The Pebble Gray color is highly sought after. It's a very subtle gray and looks awesome contrasted with the blacked
out exterior details. Tires are a year old and brakes were just services. The van is in perfect shape ready for the
road. It has 58k miles, which is just a warmup for these vans.

Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany
Wed, 07 May 2014Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.
Mercedes takes VW Westfalia Camper idea upscale with new Marco Polo
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz revealed the new V-Class. Slotting in below the popular Sprinter, the new V-Class replaced both the Viano and Vito upon its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. But Mercedes isn't quite done with it just yet. At the upcoming Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany, Mercedes will reveal the Marco Polo - a versatile, stylish and decidedly contemporary take on the classic camper van.
Named after the famous Italian explorer, the Marco Polo was converted by Westfalia, an outfit which you might more closely associate with classic VW camper vans but which Daimler absorbed over a decade ago. Offering, according to the press release below, "a maximum of opportunities to be independent, free and spontaneous," the Marco Polo sleeps four thanks to the rear bench that electrically folds flat into a bed and the second berth under the pop-top. The flexible interior is decked out like you'd expect a modern Mercedes to be, with ambient LED lighting as well as wood, metal and piano black trim.
It's got an onboard kitchenette with two gas burners, a sink and fridge with a 10 gallons of fresh water and an even bigger waste tank. All that gear is shlepped around by a choice of four-cylinder turbodiesel engines ranging in output from 136 to 190 horsepower. The relatively compact form boasts a turning circle similar to a full-size sedan and a height designed to fit into most garages and car washes. All of which just might make us reconsider the appeal of traveling by camper van.
2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
