The short of it _
Just Like a Vanagon, But Modern. This Mercedes Metris van has been outfitted by Peace Vans and includes a pop-top roof bed, convertible rear bench bed, sink, stove, fridge, swiveling front seats, awning, drawers, and cabinets. It's smaller, more nimble, and easier to drive then its bigger sister, the Mercedes Sprinter, but packs in the same type of amenities! We offer almost everything you would need for your adventure besides clothes and food! If there's something you don't have, just ask! We probably have it.
Here's a video by Peace Vans showing the highlights:

The Long of It-
Welcome to your next great escape. Our 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris is not just a camper van—it’s a purpose-built adventure capsule designed for families, couples, solo explorers, and anyone craving freedom with comfort. With a legacy rooted in the iconic VW Westfalias and engineered with German precision, this rig offers everything from spontaneous surf trips to cross-country getaways, with a dash of nostalgia and added luxury.
What Makes This Van So Special?Factory-Engineered Camper
Unlike typical DIY van builds, this is Mercedes-Benz’s first U.S. factory-approved pop-top camper in nearly two decades. It’s the result of a collaboration with Peace Vans, a leading vanlife outfitter, and Driverge, a professional upfitter based in Charleston, SC. The result? A camper that blends old-school van culture with modern safety, reliability, and style.
Sleep Like You’re Home—Anywhere
Pop-Top Roof Bed: The elevating fiberglass roof reveals a plush memory foam mattress with an integrated spring system, USB ports, and zippered mesh windows (plus a clear plastic one for stormy views). Sleep two adults up top with fresh air and stargazing.

Whether you’re parked oceanside or deep in the mountains, you’ll rest easy every night.All-Season Comfort: Curtains sewn by Peace Vans give you total privacy, while excellent insulation makes this rig a true year-round companion.Super Functional Living SpaceSwiveling Front Seats: Turn the driver and passenger seats around to join the crew in the back, creating an instant lounge or dining area.Integrated Table: A sturdy, multi-position table can be mounted inside or outside the van—perfect for meals, card games, or remote work.Kitchen: two-burner propane stove, kitchen sink with 3 gallon water supply, 39 L mini fridge w/5.3 L freezer compartmentOutdoor space: An eight-foot Fiamma awning and outdoor rugModern Tech, Rugged Soul

Foire aux questions

Q.

Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the camper van easily?

R.

Please review the following videos prior to pick up to review operating procedures. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg0sJ03KZuJo6pAEmzV16KgITOXHfkbWh

Q.

How do the electric, water and sewage hook up work while setting up at the campground?

R.

You can use a standard outdoor extension cord to plug the van into a 110 volt electrical outlet. Water is manually refilled by disconnecting the container and filling it up at a spicket. There is no sewage hookup. If you choose to take the portable toilet, you will dump it manually into either the campground toilet or at a dump station.

Q.

What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?

R.

Please check in with us if you are interested in a different pick up or drop off time. We are happy to accommodate different times if it does not interfere with a booking on either side of yours.

Kerri D est un super hôte

Les super hôtes sont très bien notés et expérimentés, ce qui vous garantit une formidable expérience en plein air.

We love the outdoors and adventure of road trips. We have spent 4 years traveling with our children in this van. We’ve travelled along the West Coast to Whistler, BC, a loop of national parks as far west as Wyoming, and a trip across the U.S. and Canada to Novascotia, along with lots of beach and desert trips in between. We’ve got lots a favorite spots to share!
