Configuration: Day Camper / Adventure Van

Offered for sale is this 2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Day Camper, powered by Mercedes-Benz's 3.0-liter OM642 turbocharged diesel V6.

This isn't simply an empty cargo van. It has already been set up as a comfortable and practical day camper/adventure van, making it ideal for road trips, beach days, camping, tailgating or weekend adventures.

Even more importantly, the van has benefited from more than $13,500 in documented recent service and repairs, much of it performed by a Sprinter specialist.

Day Camper Features

The interior has been configured for recreational use and includes:

Sink
Rear air conditioning
Dometic cooler
Day-camper interior configuration
Backup camera
Rear trailer hitch
Baja Surf Rack
Solar Panels
Roof Storage Container

It's a great setup for someone who wants the convenience of a camper van without necessarily needing a full RV conversion. It could be enjoyed in its current configuration or serve as an excellent foundation for additional camper upgrades.

A major advantage of this Sprinter is its documented recent mechanical history.

Approximately $7,800 in service was performed in October 2024, including:

Full synthetic engine oil and filter service
Engine air filter
Cabin air filter
Fuel filter
Fuel injector seals
Injector upper seals and injector bolts

Van Compass Suspension Upgrades

The rear suspension has also received desirable Van Compass upgrades, including:

Van Compass Stage 3 rear suspension system
Reinforced rear shocks
Upgraded bump stops
Baja rear shock-mount reinforcement brackets

The reinforcement brackets strengthen the factory upper rear shock mounting points, while the upgraded rear suspension is particularly beneficial for a Sprinter carrying camper equipment.

Additional Major Mechanical Work

Another approximately $5,240 in documented work was completed in October 2024.

The engine was removed to provide access for replacement of damaged firewall insulation and related components. While apart, additional work included:

New engine firewall insulation/lining
Coolant vent hose
Cooling-system service
Coolant drain and refill
Cooling system vacuum bleed
Fuel hose replacement
Diesel fuel-system priming
A/C O-rings
A/C vacuum test and recharge
ABS control-unit related service
ABS system bleeding

January 2026 Service

The most recent documented service was performed at 140,604 miles, only about 116 miles ago.

After diagnosis of a check-engine light, the Sprinter specialist identified a faulty DPF differential-pressure sensor.
The sensor was replaced and programmed, and a manual DPF regeneration was performed.

A Sprinter That's Already Had the Work Done

Anyone shopping for an older diesel Sprinter knows that maintenance history is extremely important.

This van has received substantial recent attention to the cooling system, fuel system, belt drive, suspension, exhaust, A/C system and diesel emissions system. Combined with its Van Compass suspension upgrades and existing day-camper equipment, it represents an appealing alternative to starting with an unknown cargo van and building one from scratch.

With 140,720 miles, the 3.0L turbo-diesel drivetrain, rear A/C, sink, Dometic cooler and useful camper configuration, this Sprinter is ready for road trips, beach days, camping and weekend adventures.
