MOTO VAN TOUR | Sprinter Camper Van Conversion

We took this 2016 MB Sprinter 144 2WD cargo van and converted it into a campervan for our dirtbikes, camping, and adventures. This is a quick walkthrough of our van build and its different functions. We have multiple setups or configurations. We have a low bed mode that transforms into a dinette. We also have a platform bed that is modular. Everything folds up and allows for two motorcycles to be loaded up. More detailed videos to come so subscribe to the channel for more!

I have documented the full build on my blog...

Hey, awesome build. One of the best set ups I have seen. I have been looking into building something very similar to this for also riding my dirt bike, and mountain bikes. Hope you don’t mind, I have a question that will help me as a newbie; we’re a family of 4 (2 sons), what would you recommend for seating in the back while driving? I wont always be out with the family, so having the flexibility to remove the seating will be ideal. Many thanks, super enjoying watching your videos!

As an avid mountain biker this is a great build, but did i miss the stove/cooking set up?

[ModularMuscle]

Curious as to why you decided to put the galley next to the window vs the sliding door? Also - hows the 2WD treating you on the trails?

And shoot, looks like I'm already kinda living like Pete. Bought 2 KTMs (first an EXCF then a 300 TBI ;) ), just rode warner valley (toquerville looked a little sketchy for me) and now I'm looking at building a moto sprinter that also works as a camper for me and my wife. LOVE this build, looking to do something very similar in the next 6-12 months.

Great design. Would it be possible to raise the L track slightly higher for the upper bed platform so you can have motorcycles under while bed is out or does that hinder with the usability of other things?

You connected all the missing pieces to my future motovan build! I appreciate the video

[chrismharthart]

Genius. I have been looking for a long time for a quick collapsible bed to set up once my bikes are loaded so I could sleep in the van when going from spot to spot with the bikes still in it. Do those braces adjust longer and shorter to compensate for the bed height? How do the bolts attach to the LTrack? So how long is the bed? Thanks for the

Hi Pete! Incredible can build! I’m about to start my build over and considering your layout… open is rad. How much electricity does the water tank consume from your battery? Neat solution. I’m running 200ah battery and don’t want to use all of it for water. I like my coffee make too! Does It run constantly? Thanks! Nate. Keep the rubber side down!

I've never thought about transporting motorcycles in "living space" how is the smell from the gas tank ? Do you do anything specific to avoid fumes?

[marksinger]

I've been watching these van life videos and yours is one of the best by far, very well thought out

[fivetwentythreepov]

Man this is a great build, it’s like you thought of everything. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job, great video, now I want to build one. Getting back into the bikes that would be perfect

[NoLimitsMOTO]

Awesome build! What did you use for the roof lining? Thanks

[DaphneLowe]

Very nice van tour! It's modular, it's innovative, and looks well built. Thanks for sharing your design.

Hi Pete, love your van and truly you have built exactly what I want to do. My wife and I ride MTB and Gravel together and live to camp so a van is perfect. Additionally, I have a KTM 300 and ride race as much as I can but I am provide Medical Response for all of our Harescrambles. A van would enable me to drive up on Friday or Saturday and simply stay over night…read no 05:00 wake up call to drive to an event.

Quick question…what wheelbase is your van? I am considering a Ford Transit in a 148 regular length but really do need to be certain it is big enough for our needs. I am really hoping it is!

[TheACEEChannel]

Surprised this hasn't blown up yet... Awesome build dude!

[andybowers]

Holy crap! When I first saw that van I had no idea it had so many awesome features. I can see why it took you 1000 man hours to finish. Well done.

[AdvantureZach]

Looks awesome! Love how you squeezed so much comfort in there while maintaining cargo space.

[gtgearhead]

Pretty cool seeing everything in one place after following the build on the blog. Awesome job.

Great setup, and excellent video tour. Thank you!
