Sydney converted her Sprinter van for just $6,000, which is an amazing budget build. The single biggest expense was the electrical system, which came with a price tag of $1,340.

With more than 30 years of experience in the custom van-conversion trade, Erik Ekman founded Outside Van in 2007, a company that produces 100-plus Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van conversions annually.

However, ActiVan currently has another camper van with the Cypress 170 floor plan, a 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 RWD, for sale for $155,000 (€142,929).
