Looking for the ultimate way to explore the mountains, deserts, coastlines—or all three in one trip? Meet Bruce, our fully decked-out Mercedes Sprinter 170 4x4 built by the legends at Outside Van. He's not just a van—he’s a badass mountain beast ready to take you anywhere, anytime, in serious style.
Why You’ll Love Bruce:
The folks at Outdoor Van provide a professional and clean build with streamlined systems for easy operation and navigation. Our van seats & sleeps 4 with two comfy beds (Queen + Full), so everyone wakes up stoked for the day’s adventure. The Queen sleeps length wise and sleeps tall people comfortably!

Disclaimer: the bottom full bed is best suited for two children or two adults under 5'8", as they will sleep width wise.

The bottom 1/3 of the top bed can flip down to quickly convert to a couch for daytime use and pop back up for bedtime.

Bruce is 4-season ready with heat for winter, A/C for summer, and 4WD and a lift for trips to the trailhead. As well as an air compressor to help inflate or clean all of your gear!

Our kitchen is highly functional with a refrigerator, inverter stovetop, sink with on-demand hot water, and all the pots, pans, dishes, and equipment to whip together a good meal.

All chairs swivel easily to make your interior space as cozy as you want. There is also a square compact bamboo table that you can move around, whether you're eating at the bench seat or playing cards in front with all chairs swiveled.

For extended van life, there's a hot outdoor shower that allows you to rinse off the trail dust or salty surf. There are plugs everywhere - both USB and wall outlets with inverter use - for keeping you plugged in, if you so choose.

We crafted the van to allow for endless storage while still sleeping four. There are cabinets, under-bed space, rear gear garage, and a top rack for those “just in case” extras. Also, there are side and top racks for surfboard/ski/snowboard storage.

There's also a full-length awning for shady hangouts or to block light rain - just be careful not to use it in heavy winds.

The van also comes with some extras in the back for your use: camping table, camping chairs, a hammock, and some other goodies to enhance your experience. Please inquire for additional camping items, we likely have what you are looking for!

Excellent communication and support. Hosts Annie, Dave, and Jeanette offered excellent communication, being super responsive and friendly. They provided helpful details on van functions, ensured seamless pick-up/drop-off, and checked in during trips.

Surprisingly easy to drive. Despite its large size, Bruce is described as surprisingly easy to maneuver and operate. Guests found it a super comfy and reliable ride, with spacious, comfy beds, off-van AC, fridge, and stove, making it ideal for comfortable family camping.
