This 'Rock Solid Vans' Camper Conversion With Extruded Aluminum Framing Is Built To Last

This stunning new conversion is based on a 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, AWD, 144" WB, and is fully upfitted and ready to hit the road. Aimed at adventurers who want to explore limitless destinations, this camper looks rugged and capable on the outside but is cozy, welcoming, and impressively practical on the inside.

Rock Solid Vans is a small van outfitter based in Salt Lake City, Utah, that specializes in building all-season camper vans on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis. They only build a handful of campers per year, which allows them to focus on quality rather than quantity. And their commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and innovation is noticeable in their builds, as every detail is well thought-out, the interior is meticulously hand-crafted, and the resulting home on wheels is as durable as it gets.

Designed to thrive even in extreme weather conditions and reach far-flung destinations, the new Sprinter-based campervan stands out from the crowd with its solid construction. The backbone of the build is its extruded aluminum framing, which ensures it is "rock solid." This kind of framing is not only robust and super strong but also lightweight, something you don't get out of plywood framing. As everything is literally bolted together and to the vehicle, you can rest assured it won't fall apart, delaminate, or rot over time.

The exterior of the van is finished in Stone Gray, and a simple glance at it is enough to tell you that this machine is well-equipped for going off the beaten path, as it rides on Black Rhino Performance wheels shod in BFGoodrich K02 Mountain Snowflake tires for the best traction possible. It also boasts a low-profile Expedition One Mule roof rack with an LED light bar up front and a Fiamma awning for some shade and shelter once you're at your camping site.

Other exterior features include an Avatar corner ladder, a spare tire holder, and a hitch with a step at the back. A second Avatar ladder can be noticed on the side.

The interior, meanwhile, is hand-crafted with a modern industrial flair and fully packed with practical features meant to make vanlife more comfortable than ever. But before diving deeper into what the actual living space has to offer, it's worth mentioning the van is fully insulated with 3M Thinsulate and Reflectics, as well as acoustic foam and tweed fabric on the walls. Off-grid air conditioning and heating are also included in the package for comfort regardless of the season.

Beautiful custom woodwork throughout is paired with an aluminum skin on some of the walls and high-impact surfaces, sleek finishes, and ample natural light to create that clean, industrial look. However, the living space still exudes a homey feel thanks to the natural wood elements. The cabinetry is made of quality ply baltic birch, while walnut hardwood has been used for the cabinet and drawer fronts.

The interior layout is thought out for a quick load and go, so you can embark on spontaneous adventures when you feel like it. It has an open configuration with swivel driver and passenger seats up front, a seating bench and an adjustable Lagun table for a four-person dining setup. With the sliding side door open, the owners and a couple of friends will be able to dine with a view.

There is also a center kitchenette and a sleeping space for two at the back of the van. The cooking space looks modern and practical, with acacia hardwood butcher block countertop and aluminum-treated walls for splash resistance and enhanced durability. There is enough space for meal prep and functionality is ensured by a deep stainless steel sink, a two-burner propane stove, and a Dometic Isotherm fridge.

The bedroom area at the back is designed for two individuals, with a 6-foot by 6.2-foot bed and Flarespace bedroom flares. Everything in this area is designed with practicality in mind, so you'll notice reading lights, four USB outlets, and an air conditioner. The bed sits on a raised platform that makes room for a huge garage underneath for all your gear and toys for outdoor adventures. Moreover, the owners' storage needs will be met by a deep overhead cabinet that stretches from the front to the back of the van, with three cupboards in the kitchen area and two over the bed.

Though this camper van does not include a dedicated bathroom space, a Levao dry flush toilet and a four-gallon Bosh electric water heater with an external shower / gear wash are also included in the package.

And for extended stays in off-grid locations, the van comes equipped with two DC-DC chargers for a total of 60 amps, as well as a Victron solar system with two 100 watt solar panels on the roof and a 400 Ah Lithium battery bank. You can also rely on a 36-gallon fresh water tank with exterior fill locking cap and a seven-gallon grey water tank.

This Sprinter-based Rock Solid Vans camper conversion can be purchased for $173,999. It may seem like a steep price, but the quality construction, top-of-the-line components, and modern appliances will truly make your camping experience a luxury.
