Reef Rover: a Sprinter-based camper that looks like a five-star off-road hotel
Adventure Van Conversions built a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter camper with off-road kit, rooftop tent and an interior fully retrimmed in Range Rover leather.
Adventure Van Conversions from Colorado has built the Reef Rover — a camper based on the four-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a 144-inch wheelbase. From the outside it looks like an adventure-ready van, but the real twist is inside: the cabin is clearly inspired by the Range Rover.
The Sprinter got a properly functional off-road kit rather than just styling cues. The van rolls on Black Rhino wheels with Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires, with TripleR lights in the grille, a Bravo snorkel, an AVC winch plate with hooks and a Westin Superwinch. At the rear there is a spare-wheel mount, a holder for a 90-liter aluminum box and two 1Up bike racks.
The body is almost completely coated in gray Raptor protective liner: AVC stripped the van down and treated even hidden areas, including the underside of the hood. The suspension was upgraded with an Agile Off-Road kit with Fox dampers all around. One of the most eye-catching details is the proprietary AVC rooftop tent. It sleeps two, has a weatherproof shell, three zippered windows and an electric drive: two power posts raise and lower it at the push of a button. The structure also carries a Dometic awning and two 240-watt solar panels.
The interior is built to a much higher standard than you would normally expect from a short Sprinter. The cab is fully retrimmed in genuine Range Rover leather, and the steering wheel is partly finished in dark blue Alcantara. The same material covers the cab headliner and parts of the dashboard. The seats combine brown leather with a blue checkered fabric brought in specially from London.
The layout is open, with no bulkhead between the cab and the living area. Right behind the entry sits the lounge — two chairs in the same style, a large table with a pull-out section, and the front seats can be swiveled rearward to create a four-person conversation zone. Above it is the passage into the rooftop tent, reached via a telescoping ladder.
The kitchen runs along the passenger side. It includes a Dometic fridge with a small freezer compartment, a deep stainless-steel sink with a cutting-board cover and a two-burner induction cooktop. Storage comes from upper cabinets and six drawers.
Opposite the kitchen sits a fully enclosed wet room with a regular full-height door. For a 144-inch Sprinter it is surprisingly roomy at 90 by 78 cm. Inside there is a Clesana C1 toilet, a shower with a detachable head and a tall mirror. The sleeping area is at the back. Thanks to the side flares, the bed runs across the body, so even tall people should be comfortable.
Below the bed is a large garage accessible through the rear doors. For oversized cargo the bed platform can be raised and locked to the side with the mattress folded. The off-grid setup is serious too: the electrical system uses a 400 Ah battery bank and a 3,000-watt inverter.
It can be charged from the solar panels, shore power and via DC-DC from the vehicle alternator while driving. Water is handled by a 125-liter fresh-water tank, a 15-liter water heater and a lower gray-water tank. Heating is diesel-powered, with ducts running through the interior.
The price of the Reef Rover has not been disclosed, but the level of finish, the hardware and the amount of bespoke work clearly put this project in the high-end segment. It is not just a camper for a roadside overnight stop — it is a crossover between an off-road Sprinter, yacht-grade craftsmanship and British luxury atmosphere.
