Welcome to “Summit,” our new-to-the-fleet off-grid adventure van, built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4x4 and custom-converted by VanSmith in Boulder, Colorado. Built for two, Summit brings together a comfortable place to sleep, a practical kitchen, and the essentials for time away. At 19.5 feet long, it’s a compact option for road trips, campground weekends, and exploring with a little more flexibility.
Inside, you’ll find a bed for two, a two-burner cooktop, a 12V refrigerator, and a kitchen sink with hot water. Cookware, dishes, and everyday kitchen basics are included, so you can settle in and make yourself at home. The Webasto heater takes the chill out of cooler evenings, while a ceiling fan helps keep air moving through the cabin.
Summit’s lithium batteries, solar charging, and 2,000W inverter support camping without electrical hookups, with power use managed around your trip. There’s also an outdoor hot-water shower for rinsing off after a day outside.
