2019 Mercedes Sprinter 170 High Roof Diesel Solar Deck Custom Build

Purpose-built as a boutique mobile cabin, this one-of-a-kind Sprinter blends authentic Japanese Shou Sugi Ban cedar, handcrafted woodwork, and national park inspired design into a warm off-grid travel space unlike typical van conversions.

Real charred cedar walls and ceiling, live-edge hardwood countertops, and custom cabinetry create depth and texture far beyond laminate or factory builds. The interior feels more like a handcrafted alpine lodge than a camper van.

Designed for real travel and real usability, the layout flows seamlessly from cab to rear sleeping area while still providing substantial storage, accessible systems, and thoughtful off-grid capability.

Turnkey and ready for immediate adventure.

Builder’s Note

This van was designed and built with the goal of creating a true adventure cabin on wheels. The Shou Sugi Ban cedar interior was chosen for its durability, texture, and connection to traditional craftsmanship. Every system and storage space was designed with real travel in mind — from off-grid power and water systems to the open layout that keeps the van feeling spacious and comfortable.

This wasn’t built simply to look good in photos. It was built to be lived in.

Why This Van Stands Apart

Authentic charred cedar interior — not laminate or paneling

Distinct lodge-inspired design aesthetic rarely seen in Sprinter builds

Balanced off-grid system with solar, alternator charging, and shore power

Thoughtful storage layout with accessible service areas

Premium adventure upgrades including rooftop deck, awning, and off-road wheels

Handcrafted as the first build in what will become the Matterhorn Vans series — adventure vans inspired by the spirit of the mountains.

For those who believe the journey should be just as beautiful as the destination.

Delivery Available
