This 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 4x4 was purchased new as a high-roof cargo van in early 2023 and immediately sent to Adventure Wagon in Oregon for a comprehensive custom camper conversion. It is powered by the desirable 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission and a true 4WD system featuring a dual-range transfer case - the final year for this drivetrain before the switch to the four-cylinder AWD setup.
The build began with an Adventure Wagon smart floor system featuring extruded aluminum construction, integrated L-Track tie-downs throughout, and seam-sealed installation for durability and crash-tested approval with aftermarket seating. The full AdWag modular interior package was then added, including complete sound deadening, insulation, a structural skeleton, and custom panels in charcoal grey fabric with black HexPly lower walls and anodized black L-Track. Windows were installed all around, consisting of pop-out units on the driver's side and sliding door, solid glass in the rear doors, and bunk windows in the factory-paint-matched Flarespace flares for added interior width and east-west sleeping capability.

This highly modular Adventure Wagon build was designed as the ultimate do-it-all rig, capable of hauling dirt bikes one weekend, desert camping the next, shredding snow in Mammoth, or serving as a comfortable family surf-trip hauler, all with quick reconfiguration thanks to the L-Track system. It stands out visually and performs effortlessly on- or off-road.
