Xpl Van Sprinter 2024: the ultimate 4×4 Mercedes Camper by Off Road Accessoires
The Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 camper van, named the Xpl Van, is now available at Off Road Accessoires in its new 2024 version. After introducing the previous edition last year, here’s the updated model, fully loaded with premium features, high-end finishes, and rugged accessories tailored for overland adventures.
Mercedes Sprinter 4×4: The King of Off-Road Camper Vans
In the niche world of off-road vans and campers, few brands match the prestige of Mercedes-Benz, especially with the Sprinter 4×4 platform. This model features the renowned 7G-Tronic automatic transmission and a low-range gearbox, essential for tackling tough off-road terrain.
A pre-fuel filter has been installed to prevent engine damage from contaminated fuel—an issue often encountered at remote or foreign gas stations. With a total fuel capacity of 160L, this Sprinter offers impressive autonomy for long expeditions.
Xpl Van: built for off-road performance
- GVWR: 4,430 kg
- Payload: Approx. 500–600 kg
To enhance traction, an ARB rear differential locker with an onboard air compressor replaces the stock unit. This locking system is crucial for traversing low-grip surfaces like sand, mud, snow, or uneven terrain.
The underbody is reinforced with a front skid plate, gearbox protection, and shields for the rear axle and fuel tank, ensuring maximum protection during off-road use.
High-end off-road upgrades and exterior mods
This Sprinter camper shines in Selenite Grey, equipped with Black Rhino Arsenal 8×17 wheels and BF Goodrich KO2 265/70R17 all-terrain tires. The suspension has been upgraded using the Van Compass 6.3 kit (+50mm lift) paired with Falcon 3.3 adjustable shocks featuring separate reservoirs and Inverted Strut technology—normally seen in motorsports.
Rear Baja shock reinforcement and upgraded front bump stops complete the setup, improving ride comfort, durability, and off-road capability.
Key exterior upgrades include:
- Snorkel
- Front bumper with integrated Warn VR Evo 12S winch
- Lazer LED lighting: Triple-R Elite lights + 4x Sentinel 7” spotlights
- ARB Base Rack roof platform for gear transport (e.g., kayak, surfboard)
- Spare wheel carrier with integrated ladder access
- Cargo box and rear utility carrier
- N4 recovery hooks
Interior: comfort meets expedition-ready design
The Xpl Van targets overland travelers seeking luxury van life without compromising on durability. The driver and passenger sit in Scheelmann Traveler F heated swivel seats, facing a spacious dining area with a fold-out table and bench seating for four. This area converts into a small child’s bed using the folded bench and front seat extension.
Thermal insulation (20 mm) ensures year-round comfort, supported by the Truma D6E diesel heater, which also provides hot water. It operates on diesel or 220V when connected to shore power.
- Fresh water tank: 122L
- Grey water tank: 84L
- Large insect screen on side door
The kitchen is both practical and elegant:
- 15 mm plywood cabinets
- Exterior-access fold-out table + interior fold-out counter extension
- Sink + dual-burner gas stove
- 90L refrigerator
Bathroom & rear sleeping area
The rear bathroom features a shower, foldable sink, and toilet. An external shower port is located at the back for outdoor rinsing.
In the rear of the van, a transverse double bed (140 x 193 cm) offers restful sleep, supported by a Froli sleep system and 8 cm mattress. Multiple storage compartments are located beneath the bed.
Off-grid electrical system by Victron Energy
The van is completely off-grid capable with a 330Ah lithium battery bank, 1200W pure sine inverter, 115W solar panel, and 50A charger, all managed by Victron Energy components.

The 2024–2025 version now uses a 2.0L 4-cylinder 190 hp diesel engine paired with a 9-speed automatic 4Matic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive. Though there’s no transfer case, the ultra-short first gear maintains excellent off-road performance.
