Luxury Camping Vans

Mercedes-Benz Reveals the New Sprinter L5-B Camping Van

— September 4, 2013 — Autos
The new Sprinter L5-B van by Mercedes-Benz offers a new way of camping: inside your van. The vehicle is impressive, boasting nearly all of the features (besides fire), that would make for an adequate camping experience.

The van showcases 'camping' in a luxurious manner; rotating chairs for a living space, convertible bench-to-sleeping area (double bed), kitchen and bathroom. High quality HPL coatings and leather materials coat the interior. The vehicle is also friendly on gas, consuming low fuel (6.3 litres for every 100 KM).

The idea of ‘camping’ is typically one associated with the outdoors. The presentation and capability of this vehicle has been closely associated with this act. This is the newest addition to luxury vehicles. This smart, sleek design has been noted for its 'indoor' camping appeal, but will surely cater to those simply interested in traveling in luxury.

1. Luxury Camping - Luxury camping is becoming more popular as people seek unique and comfortable travel experiences.
2. Van Life - The trend of converting vans into livable spaces for travel and camping continues to grow.

Industry Implications
